It appears I fell off the blogging horse for a few days. Things have been a bit hectic lately. Aside from some Valentine’s Day activities, I recently was offered a new day job and accepted and so that took up a decent amount of my time. The new job proves to make my life at least a little easier, so I do have that to look forward to.
Just a few things to remark on, noneĀ of them connected:
- I went to Red Rooster in Harlem on Saturday with N. It’s a really nice place and the food is terrific. I’d been to Marcus Samuelsson’s other restaurants before – Riingo, and Aquavit – but Red Rooster just seems to have something, maybe it’s just a warmth and welcoming atmosphere, that those other places lacked. It’s definitely worth a trip to Harlem for. The meals were great as were the drinks and dessert as well.
- I have, with the help of friends Torie and Jeff, discovered the game Munchkin. I played a couple of rounds this past weekend discovering not only Munchkin Cthulhu, but Munchkin Impossible, their spy-flavored version. It’s a fun game, though I am itching to try a mixed-game with multiple genres.
- Tonight and tomorrow night I got to see one of my favorite bands, The Church. I’ve mentioned them here before. This concert is a special one where they’re playing three of their albums in their entirety – the most recent, the amazing Untitled #23, Priest = Aura, and Starfish. While I love all three albums, I’m mostly looking forward to Priest = Aura because they typically don’t play much from that one.
That’s all I have to report for now. And because a computer crash ate my last attempt to post this, I’m sending it off now.
