gang of friends and gifts to give

My cable went out yesterday at 10AM, and the wonderful man who fixed it just left a little bit ago, after over an hour of hunting down the problem. I hate when the cable is out, for not only is the cable out, the internet is down as well. Ugh. The funnest part is that I was working yesterday, and since I'm still doing that from home for the time being, I had to do it via dial-up. It was a total fiasco.

For Valentine's Day, my gleesome threesome went to Rocking Horse and El Fano spent hundreds of dollars on dinner and drinks. Red lemonades (Stoli Razberri, lemonade and rasperries -- in a pint glass) and filet mignon with mashed butternut squash (I think?). And chocolate tamales (like lightly sweetened and lightly cinnamonned soft brownies inside the corn husk. Yum) and some ridiculously delicious key lime thingy. Oh, and chipotle-pineapple pork ribs for our appetizer. It was bananas. There were also presents all around. See, it's fun! Presents and food and drinks. Who doesn't like that?

I picked up cards in Chelsea, and the man in Rainbows & Triangles wished me a "happy holiday." Love it.

Now it is just February 15, and that is boring. I'm going to Rockaway soon, just for the day. It is so sunny! Hooray.
