friday, the cheese and i hung out with my friend john and his wife kirstin. we went to the restaurant bahama breeze, which is caribbean food brought to us by the same good people that gave us the olive garden, red lobster, and mercury in our seafood. i feel like i want to set john and dan up- not for any kind of romantic relationship, of course, but to be friends. i want john to say: "jackie? yeah, i met her through dan!" they are both artists working in less than satisfying jobs. although john knows more about bifocals.

last night, chris and i drank a bottle of wine at our favorite french bistro, and then proceeded to open a charge account at a furniture store and buy a lot of furniture. not a whole lot, mind you- just seven items. i'm sure they'll all look great in our new place, which is about a block away from the bar we ended up at later. the karaoke dj announce that it was time for the electric slide, and chris promptly jumped up and proclaimed, "okay, we're leaving."

today i worked all day, battling the forces of good, evil, and taxation without representation. well, mostly just evil. and now we're off to houlihans, which advertises "amazingly timeless food and drink." what's the difference between timeless and stale? maybe dan and the redhead will know.
