Catching up
So, I realized I haven't posted in about two weeks. I think it's time for a brief catch up...
immediately after my last post, JD and I headed to NY to spend some time with my bro. That night we went to "Black and White" with Jen and had some drinks. I marveled at the sheer amount of young people gathered in one place, and the fact that there was such good music... I guess those are things that start to surprise you when you've been in a small town for a few years.
On Sunday, we got lucky enough to enjoy one of the first truly warm and springy days of the season. It was wonderful. We had brunch at "Taco Chulo" in Williamsburg. I had their version of Eggs Florentine. It was served on a piece of green onion/ cheese cornbread with a "velveetadaze" sauce (yes, it was velveeta based, but with peppers and yumminess added to it). It was pretty incredible. I was very skeptical of the sauce, and a little frightened, but it was definitely worth it.
Then we wandered around the city ( I bought a bunch of cheap and cute H&M clothes) and ended the night by chilling on the back patio at SuperCore. It was warm and lovely, and the wild kitties hung out with us. We drank Sangria and ate crusty and flaky panini's. Mmmm.
Other highlights: Peter Luger's burger (it stands up to the hype.. but I'm not so sure how I feel about their special steak sauce), cheap mexican food delivery, spending time with family.
Ayla and I had "Pi and Pie" night, where we intended to bake pumpkin pie and watch the movie Pi. Neither of us have seen it, but the video stores didn't have it, so we opted for Twin Peaks instead. Now I feel my old Twin Peaks obsession rearing it's strange and twisted head... I'm just trying to hold out for that second season on DVD. Our pumpkin pie was delicious.
The last Miserable Monday was kinda crazy. We got way carried away with the alcohol... shots, martinis, vodka cranberries. Ben was pouring STRONG, and we were trashed. There was a lot of booth dancing and hollering. There was shimmying and sexy photoshoots. Good times.
Today it is about 75 degrees out.. I feel lively and happy. The crocuses are in full bloom. The tulips and daffodils are sprouting. I love spring.
