ok so it's been a while since i've posted. crazy busy at work and i've actually had not much to talk about. it amazes me how little energy one has for the 'everyday' when the 'routine' is kicking your ass. it could be the fact that i'm still trying to void this head cold from my body.
i did manage to have a pretty good date last night - even under the circumstances of the week and the cold. did the dinner thing - then to barracuda - then to maries crisis. he went home and i headed down to the hangar in the evill for a friend's birthday party.
saturday morning was all about errands. laundry and dry cleaning. i headed back to the evill for a late brunch. on avenue c between 8th and 9th streets was the destination - the place was called
the sunburnt cow. there's where i met
melissa,
brent,
tommy, and scott. the sunburnt cow is an australian restaurant complete with
vegemite sandwiches for their guests (they were all out today though.) i had a bessie - a fantastic bb-q steak sandwich. omg - so so good - that combined with unlimited bloody marys made me a happy boy.
onto the
san gennaro festival. an annual italian festival held in little italy every year. they block off the main streets and the people come out in masses to eat sausage and peppers, calamari, fried dough of all shapes and sizes and the occasional fried oreo or candy bar. we got zipolli - fried dough balls with powdered sugar.
subway home - casual evening on the couch - trying not to have a hangover from the unlimited bloody marys.
sunday was brunch at
cafe loup with
scott, grady, and
nick. scott and grady were in town on route from boston to dc. it was good seeing them both and we had a great meal at cafe loup. apple store afterward for some shopping then we split into our own paths - nick to union square - scott and grady - on the road back to dc and me to the west village for a coffee date at
soy luck club on greenwich ave.
it was crowded so me and my date headed to grounded around the corner - so nice. i had a drink called just dew me - it was odd ordering such a drink on a first date but it was great nonetheless. honeydew and mint smoothie - yumm!!!
great date - great time hanging out with him - got a little smooch as we parted ways. i came home - and here i am - about to head to bed and start my week all over again. fun times - god i hope so - but something tells me that work is going to really kick my ass - why would this week be any different than it usually is?
wish me luck.
