Friends and Holidays

Today was a friend-ful day. I hung out with Tim, who had called me severals times now trying to see if we could do lunch. This morning we finally made it happen. We went to Jazz Cat for their mini hot pots. The restaurant was a lot less crowded than the times I visited before. The food was ok, really nothing to write home about. Tim and I chatted laughed and had a nice time. Afterwards I came home, while the painters worked on the apartment doors. They used to be plum color, now they are dark green. I am anticipating my rent to go up any day now.

Tonight Wayne and I met up with Jane John and Jen for dinner. We got a table at Palm's Thai without waiting at all. That was a first! The Thai Elvis wasn't singing tonight, perhaps that explained the less-than-packed house. Overall our food was pleasant. I don't remember any standouts. We talked and talked. Jen suggested that we went to have a drink or two at Bird's, which was very nearby. Once there, we found a good table by the window. We ordered some appetizer and dessert and beers. Our waiter was not very cordial or attentive. I thought he was almost unfriendly. The atmosphere was great though. The mood was lively and colorful. We left around 11:00. I came home and felt very happy. It's good to see friends around this time. It makes me feel less alone. Not that there's anything wrong with being alone, but during the holidays being single can make anyone feel a bit uneasy. It'll all be fine after the New Years.

Wow it's almost 2009.
