sunlight bathes our room
Oct. 23rd, 2003 11:06 amA whisp of clouds widens into a thick cord, and then into the standard winter blanket. It does not extend all the way to the horizon; mountains are almost always visible on these days.
But before the clouds cover the sky, I can see the sun. I haven't seen it at this hour in a month; to see it now, so low in the sky, feels like a betrayal after the summer. Plus there's so much dew on my car that I can't see out the back windshield for five minutes.
Steve and I went out to Tony Roma's last night. Apparently it's a great place for ribs, or something. I'm kind of an anti-ribs person, because it just seems like very little bang for the buck, not to mention the actual amount of effort involved to eat them. They are tasty though.
During dinner we talked about his apprehension/anticipation for the weekend. I told him about how I dated Morrissey for a year. Every night before I went to bed, I'd imagine the scenario: we'd meet in a coffee shop in L.A., and I'd have to gush, and for some reason we'd really get along and we'd go back to his place, and play RISK. And things progressed from there. It was ok while I was "dating" Nick, he in Seattle and myself in Raleigh, anyway. The crushes where you don't actually interact with the person are the best.
After dinner we met up with the Romanians for the first time in ages. Hit the Triple Door, which apparently is the new hot spot or something. Nice ambience, at least. Reminded me a little of Bonzai, except no anime art. Anyway apparently Pearl Jam had just had a secret concert (not that secret) across the street, and the spillover was there.
We'd been wishy-washy about going out, so by the time we got there they were about to leave, some Russian DJ was having a private birthday gathering at The Standard. And we were like "Dude, Eurotrash Russian girls!" and followed them. Of course there were no Russian girls, well ok two of them. But we had a few drinks and talked some trash with Ang before heading home.
