Review by PARBOILED, December, 2011
I've been loving every encounter at my favorite Russian spot over the last few months, but they say that variety is the spice of life and today I just couldn't resist the urge to scratch my Korean itch. Stumbled across a new site, www.simply-secret.com, and discovered a new spot, Asian Gorgeous, that I hadn't come across before. Fired off an email to Gina (address on the site) and got the number to call. Convenient location (enough public transport options) and I figured I could get over and back in the afternoon without attracting too much attention at The Office. Unfortunately, my fairy godmother was not looking over me today and, as I was heading out, I got tagged with 10 boxes of important documents that had to be scanned, indexed and filed right away. I don't know about you guys, but I've lost count of the number of times I've been the stooge in the hurry up and wait routine (ie, stooge busts his a-- to get something done asap, but nobody else seems to give a s---). I called back and said I needed to re-schedule and would ring back asap. To add insult to injury, I had to work on this emergency project with this Korean girl (M------ --) at work that I have been in lust with. Yes, she is beautiful (think Sung Hi Lee, if you don't know who SHL is, do an Internet search), Yes, she wants absolutely nothing to do with me and has told me to my face that I'm one if the ugliest men she has ever laid eyes on (this is even after I tried all of the techniques I learned from watching episode 8 of season 1 of The Pickup Artist, How to get Exotic), and Yes, I can't really blame her (I've been told that one of my greatest strengths is recognizing my own weaknesses; middle aged, balding, out of shape, below average looking, generally boring and, worst of all, of de minimus length and girth). But you know what - I kept telling myself none of this matters, because as soon as I could blow out of The Office, for a paltry sum, less than a week's wages, I would be King of the World for an hour at AG :-) Every time I looked at M------ --, I thought to myself tonight I am going to d---- you, like you have never been d------. OK, maybe not you, but, hopefully, a reasonable facsimile of you . . . 10 boxes later and afflicted with an acute case of B--- B---- from being in the same room as M------ all afternoon, I limped out of the office and may way over to Asian Gorgeous.
