lots of folks have been stopping by here lately i see. must keep up the good work.

last night i went out to eat with a handful of kiddies to ed debevics…the gimmick wears thin, sure, but it’s pretty cheap and they have the most excellent chicken fingers. and free refills on vanilla coke to boot, which if i were a deity of some sort would be the the official flavor of ambrosia. oh man, i wish i could hold more liquid in my slim little body just so i could drink 8 glasses of vanilla coke over the course of a meal. yum yum.

so that was a nice start to the evening which ended up going nowhere. the rest of the night consisted of three of us either playing grand theft auto or watching someone else play, while josh, dom and i just sat around and “shot the shit”, as they say. it would have been one of those nights that makes you kind of look at yourself and wonder why you don’t have more of a life, except that hanging out with those guys is never a sad thing even when it should be. they’re just too great. i could probably never make another great friend in my life, but if i had these guys around that i have now, i think i’d be pretty set. so the night that was boring on the surface was actually fine by me.

too bad dom and my roommate mike are both leaving next semester along with the coolest girl i’ve met here and probably ever will. but we try not to think about that, or let it dampen the fun of this last week before they take off not to be seen until next summer. it’s just not a cheerful thing to think about.
