Good Weekend So Far
It's turning cold here but so far this has been a good weekend over all, temperatures notwithstanding (and of course, with autumn in the air, i now have a whole new set of clothes to wear :P ).
Thursday night I met up with Linh for dinner. Actually, we started off with me reviewing a short paper he did for school, and not only was it already well-written, but I learned something related to my own research interests. Then we were off to a Thai restaurant across the street, one that I used to go to all the time (Linh lives in the building where Adrian and I lived 2001-2002). Food was good, though they didn't have sticky rice, and I'm wondering what Thai restaurant doesn't have that?? Hmmm. there was a guy there with a woman sitting behind us and he would occasionally turn around and look at us -- not casually, but making an effort. Was he a gayboy there with a friend or a closeted married guy interested in one or both of us? Who knows. Anyway, about 10:40 the waiter asked if we could settle the bill, since they had closed at 10...we hadn't noticed we were the nly people left! We made our way back to his building and hung out and talked in the lobby since he said his roommate would eb asleep upstairs, and for a couple hours we talked about all sorts of things while watching the occasional rowdy drunk come home. Much fun was had!!
Friday night was a first-time event: I finally met Aryaduta, a fellow DC blogger whom I met online after coming back from Asia. Yes, all my MaGaysian friends who also read his blog can now be jealous because I've actually met the man! After having trouble finding my keys and then making two very seriously wrong turns I made it to his place 30 minutes late, which is NOT my preferred way of meting someone the first time (or ever, for that matter). We headed off to dinner, which was fantastic, and then out for drinks, with wonderful conversation stretching late into the night. I won't go into the details of the conversation, as of course that's between he and I, but I did point out to him one of the weird things about bloggers doing something together: "You know you're going to read about all this, right?" heh heh He is a GREAT guy, and I'm not just saying that because I know he's going to read this -- one thing I learned about him is he has no trouble being honest with someone, so if I hadn't liked him I'd have just told him so. But I do, of course, and that's fun. There's a possibility he might have some interesting travel coming up next summer, but we'll just wait and see how the universe works that one out. All in all, I had a great time and am so happy to finally meet this nice guy.
Today was a casual, hang out around town kind of day, and tonight we're off to a party, so that'll be fun. I think I'm making cookies tomorrow. But not today.
