Fun, Fun, Fun
J: Not much time to
write, sorry. This week I saw some long-ago friends at Thof's birthday
party, including Sue Hayden and Steve Ericson, who runs this online
used pulp bookstore called Books
from the Crypt. On Monday Gina and I joined other familia at BWI
airport to welcome my brother Frank back from Iraq. After he took his
through-flight home, we went with Meg, Joe, and our unklings Billy and
Leo to The
Nile Cafe at Fell's Point. We ate extremely delicious and fairly
expensive food. And I had Belgian beer! Other than that I've been
fixing our car (replaced the distributor and learned that cars should
have a liquid called "coolant") and setting up our Xmash present, a
home theater sound system.
G: On Thursday, I finally cashed in
on the gift certificate I had won at Izolda's CD release party last
July. I went to Pleasant
Touch to get a 1/2 hour massage, and a free facial from our friend
Susan Stern who works there and is learning how to do facials. The
massage was wonderful, I wish it had been longer. The facial was nice
too, I felt so pampered. I ended up buying some stuff to use on my
face, and I've been pleased so far with the way my skin is feeling
silky smooth.
Luisa came with us to dinner at Noodles and
Co. and Wunderland that
evening. After hanging around chatting for a while a whole bunch of
people played Kory's party game. We played 3 1/2 rounds so we played
for a long time. It was fun.
On Friday night we went to dinner at Udupi Palace with Kory, Shaun,
and Mi Ae. Then we went to see Love Actually at the Greenbelt Theater.
It was fun.
On Saturday Jenny came over and we went to a
housewarming/holiday/birthday party at Thofer and Anne's. It was a very
nice party. We all pigged out on guacamole. Jenny and I ended up
reading trivia questions to each other from Cranium. We came back home
and hung around doing nothing until she left, then we watched SNL which
we haven't done in a long time. Chris Kattan made an appearance as
Gollum. It was fun.
Sunday John cooked up the collection of oyster mushrooms we had in the
fridge. There were 4 different bags of various amounts that we gathered
from the wild. He oiled the bottom of the skillet, filled it with the
mushrooms and eggplant, added old bay seasoning and powdered vegetable
base, and roasted it for 40 minutes. My goodness, it was delicious.
Some bites tasted like chicken!
Then we were off to the movies again, to see Elf with Kory, Luisa, and
Alfredo. Afterward we went to Plato's diner. When we pulled up, we saw
Andy and Alison inside sitting by the window. We sneaked up to the
window
and stared in at them. I think we gave Andy a bit of a surprise. I just
saw Alison laughing. It was fun.
Gosh we have a lot of fun.
