I am starting this post by letting everyone know I was out two nights in a row til 2am. This is quite a feat for me; I haven't done that in months and months. I think I deserve a cookie or something.
In the morning I mad a frittata for breakfast with chorizo, green onion, mushrooms, onions, and cheese. Boy do chorizo and eggs go well together. This wonderful idea for breakfast came from Jenster, she loves her veggies and eggs! Thanks Jenster! Is that too many exclamation points in a row? Oh well. It is my blog and I can do what I want.
I took down Christmas decorations as well and Ando said I was killing Christmas. I was, and it was about time that it happened. The tree has to be gone by Monday otherwise the garbage men/women won't take the tree. I am not a huge fan of Christmas like Ando is, but I still do most of the decorating and undecorating. Is undecorating a word? I like to be festive for the holidays.
Ando and I then went to Rando's house to talk more about the Pulico documentary. Rando asked if we wanted to walk to Publico from his place so we did. It was quite a New York moment, that would be a good name for a movie. Rando lives so close to Publico I don't know why you wouldn't always walk there. By the time you drive around all the one way streets it would take you just as long as walking. More people in this city need to walk and better transit needs to exist. Sorry, that was me getting on my high horse. I think the Publico documentary is going to be fun and let me get out my creative side of shooting that I don't get to do much of at my current job.
Then the five of us, Ando, Jenster, Mo, Teed and of course me, decided to go out to dinner at the new Mexican restaurant downtown, Nada. When we got down there it looked pretty crowded, but we decided to try it and see how long the wait would be. They told us 2 hours so we high tailed it out of there. I think they just tell people 2 hours when they don't want anymore customers for the night. We went across the street to Nicholson's instead. None of us had ever been there so we thought we would give it a try. We knew they would at least have some good beers on tap. We were not wrong in this assessment either. Ando, Jenster, and Teed got the monthly special beer for $3 and a free pint glass. I went with the Kentucky Bourbon Ale, 9% alcohol. The bourbon ale was excellent; I highly recommend it.
More and more food kept coming out for us to eat that we were not prepared for. We got toast, then an appetizer, I had soup and some had salad. Then bread came out for us to eat. And then our meals were there. This is no Asiana thats for sure. Teed wanted a bit more down time, but no such luck. Everyone liked what they ordered and we decided to put Nicholson's on our list of places to go again. I got a Tennents to top the night off before we headed to the next place. You can't go wrong with a Tennents. Oh, and there was some fun in the bathroom as well. They have mouthwash with little cups for you to use. The mouthwash is on the sink and looks like soap so you have to be careful not to make your hands minty fresh. I almost did, as did Jenster, but we stopped in time to notice it was mouthwash. I did use the mouthwash though. It was minty fresh and am pretty sure Scope.
We dropped off Mo and Teed, who were not feeling well and the three of us went out on our own. We landed at Oakley Pub. It was a bit more crowded than I thought it was going to be, but then remembered the football game was on. Most people were there for the game and left when it was over. A Jaguar win! On my way to the bar I received a phone call from our old neighbors, A n P. I had called last weekend and they were just returning my call. It was good to hear from them and catch up a little. Hopefully we will see them sometime soon if we go to NYC. Maybe then I will hold a baby too. If you can still count Li as a baby.
It was a long day and it shows with the long post, sorry. I have a feeling tomorrow's post won't be quite as long. I don't think I am going to do much today. I will have to try to find something else to blog about tomorrow rather than my day. That should be fun for all of you.
Nice night out to dinner, no ring hidden in the dessert.
