Nov. 14th, 2004 10:27 amYesterday was amazing. I have such fun friends.
Got together with Nick, Nem, Stormy (eventually), Ken, and Trace at the chocolate fair. Next time, I buy tix in advance. Cool thing was they were cheaper than they were advertised on the site. We sampled god knows how many varieties of good chocolate. I don't really have a taste for dark chocolate, but man, Valhrona's amazing. And Jacques Torres' hot chocolate is worth travelling for. I wondered a lot that day about how they thickened it so much, and I imagine the actual chocolate content is higher than I think.
We went from there to a decent Mex spot called Mexican Radio. We waited up there and met up with Ms. Irnbruise and her ladyfriend, the lovely ms. k. Love them to death. We drank overpriced sangria and laughed a whole lot. I had stuffed platanos for dinner which I couldn't even finish. Their chips are satanic. If that's indeed possible.
Then we shot pool. God. I forget how much I love that game. I ran the table once. It was sweet. It was like old times with the cue ball on a string and rolling exactly where I wanted it to go. Some ass kept trying to hustle us. He was dumb. I was almost inclined to take him on and see if I still have anything. the touch was back in at least two games. But I hit more than a couple too hard and they rimmed out. I hate that. When you hit it just right but a little too tough.
28's good so far. We'll see how it develops.
