I just made reservations for India Gate, I think 14 people are coming. Yikes, I am looking forward to seeing you all!
And once again I beg of you to bring cash, to make life easier when splitting the bill.
7pm tonight, see you there...

Brain HurtsCategory: work
Was up late last night dealing with: 
And then today I had a long conversation at work with (e:Paul). I am so used to working alone for so long that I think the part of my brain that knows how to program is not hooked up to the part of my brain that knows how to use my mouth to speak.
It took so much energy out of me to try to speak about programming. I feel like I am dead. Different parts of the brain are like tinker-toys and connected in certain ways and doing new things is so taxing, even if the individual parts of the new things are old things.
It is nice to work somewhere that I have colleagues instead of just co-workers, I was really missing out on that intellectual sharing part of work before.

Wednesday Buffet detailsCategory: estrip
Some more details:
7pm India Gate - Corner of Elmwood and Forest
Please bring cash. I think the buffet is $10 per person plus also there's tip, but if you want to drink then bring more. I don't think they'll split the cheque across multiple cards.
Parking lot is off Forest - there's a lot with meters, otherwise the side streets are good for a spot.
Everyone is welcome!

I'm taking kids to Darien lake, but if I can get them to leave (and/or if the party goes LATE) than I will see you.
Janelle, my wife who is an estrip lurker that does not post may stop by. Maybe you can convince her to start posting.

Wow, it is so nice that you guys buy gifts for each other. My bitches never buy me anything. In fact terry hates presents and occasions of any sort even when they are for him. He is such a humbug and matthew just doesn't seem to remember. Last year for my birthday I got nothing from by boyfriends. Thank god for my thoughtful friends and family members.

Chop ChopCategory: food
There's a new lunch place opening downtown in a couple months, called Chop Chop. It's going to be at 300 Main Street. Best of all - one of my favorite people ever, Laurie Sweet, is going to be the chef!
jim - 08/06/07 19:28
I am not sure, I only heard a little bit about it from the owner accidentally, and I knew my friend Laurie as getting some sort of chef job, but I wasn't too sure of the details.

Any hints as to the type of cuisine? I might be inclined to hop on the Metro and shoot down there for lunch from time to time.

uhm.... ok... well, maybe next time then.
i really wanted to make it, but cant. leaving on fri and have only today to wash and pack b/c tomorrow night is dinner with parents. sorry guys. have fun though.
in my original post I asked for people to let me know if they were coming I think, but it's ok to just show up, they'll just have to squeeze us all in and I think not everyone who told me they were coming is going to end up coming.
i thought it would be cool to just show up. oops. can you add 2 to the reservations?
sorry i can't make it guys... I was hoping to, but work just turned into a freaking disaster and I'm not even sure I'm going to make it home before tomorrow. :(
