It's Been a While...
I haven't posted in a while! I guess I've just been busy with work and all. Weekend before last, I went contra dancing with Jason, Sarah, and Claire. My shoes were dirty, so I went barefoot, so after I got done dancing my dogs were very sore. Thankfully, the blister pads Sarah gave me worked wonders.
I think it was that Sunday that was the Superbowl. Whichever day that was, I enjoyed an evening at Mike, Tynia et al's place, eating meat cooked on Mike's grill and enjoying the company.
Last weekend, I went out with mrsmalkav, Kevin, and others to eat at Patio Loco after the "tea" part of "systems tea". Afterwards, I joined up with a large CS contingent at Crook's Corner for Andy's birthday. We then tried Tallula's, which had a $3 cover, and opted for the Cellar instead. After a couple of hours there, we went back to Tallula's and danced a while. There were a lot of the electronic music crowd there, which was very cool...it had been a while since I had seen most of them.
All that was last Friday. On Saturday, Jason, Sarah, and I went square dancing on Ai-Ling's invite. I can't decide whether I like that or contra dancing--both are so much fun! After dancing, the 3 of us went out to Fuse to have a drink. For some reason, despite the loud 80's music, I really enjoyed hanging out there. Even the beer tasted unusually delicious. I guess I was just in an exceptional mood. And hanging with exceptional friends, too. ;-)
Since then, I've been busy at work. Tuesday, I somehow got it into my head that it was Wednesday. Long story short, Andy and I end up at Carolina Brewery asking for seats "where we can watch the game." "What game", replies the hostess. I was like, duh, "the Carolina game!" She looked kinda confused, and at that point I realized it was freakin' Tuesday. D'oh! Anyway, I ended up getting a lower-level student ticket to see the game versus Georgia Tech (thanks a bunch Cory!). I'm still a bit hoarse. ;-) Despite being down 20 points at one point, we came back and won it, thanks to the heroic effort put forth by our fantastic freshman, Tyler Hansbrough. That kid is insane. He got 40 points on the night, which is more than anybody had every scored in our current stadium. And he's just a freshman!!
