Blah-ditty-blah

so, today i take my brother to the airport so that he may return to boston.

we've cooked, roamed the town, watched what can only be described as a shit-ton of movies, and lounged at the santa fe baking company while surfing online, and dan has had separate adventures while i've been at work- visiting the tent rocks in cochiti on monday, and white place in abiquiu yesterday. . .

monday evening dan, jared, and i went out to dinner so dan could have an oasis cafe experience. . . . we had a small snack before showing up. the food at oasis is good, but it is wise to not go hungry. . . the waiting staff is kind of free spirited, and well. . . you may have to remind them that you ordered a pale ale several times. . . and when the waiter tells the table next to you that they are out of the pale ale you can ask, "but i'm still getting mine, right?". . . at which time, you'll get to choose a different beverage. we ate in the womb room. . . . a very warm colored sparcely lit room with coffee tables to eat at (which jared and i thought reminded us a little more of our apartment then we cared to admit) and pillows covering the floor to sit upon. . .. there's also a lofted space on half the room . . . so the lounging is double decker.

the other rooms include an eastern tea room?- not quite sure if that was what it was called. . . the renaissance room, which has more refined looking furniture. . . . and the mushroom room. . . which i had eaten in before. . .as i remember it, it was kinda decorated in an alice in wonderland sort of way, also having some lofted spaces, so you could eat with your head practically touching the ceiling. there is an outdoor bar with a seating area as well, but it was a bit chilly to partake of that area.

last night dan and i went for sushi at kohnami. . .. i took him there this past summer as well, but in that six months, i guess the place had a facelift. . . it looked like a much more posh establishment, and the prices were a bit higher. . . . although i liked the new zen garden across from the door you enter from. . . i kinda miss that funkiness it had. . . where you could draw on your placemat with the crayons found at every table. . . and if your picture was well liked, it could end up on the wall. now the place is pretty, a lot more traditional looking. . . . but not quite as quirky. . .. however, the sushi was still pretty amazing (even though we are in a landlocked state).

but now, it's time for dan to pack up his things and fly back home. the plethora of cables, ports, recording media, and computer parts on the coffee table will disperse. . . dan will take his half with him, and i'll put my newly larger part away probably sometime tonight. i'll return to the gym after work- i've skipped it the past week and a half in order to spend all my free time with dan. it will be good to get back into my routine. . . and the gym will probably help the slight depression i'll have when dan leaves. . .. never was much good at that. . . . used to cry my eyes out after a friend left over a sleep over. . . . should've seen me at the final puss lounge party after three years at kent. . . what a sad but wonderful mess.

anyway. . . that's all for today.
