Potius sero quam numquam. (Better late than never)

Such a lovely afternoon so far. It's been such a long work week for me. My first week at my new job and I could not wait any longer for the weekend to arrive. Whew.

Here's to my homie Allison. Holla at a sista, dayum...

At noon, I met up with Allison, a good friend of mine, for lunch at O'Donnell's in Gaithersburg. We've caught up with each other's lives over club sandwiches, fries, and drinks. :) Afterwards, we walked over to Cosi for conversation and coffee. We eventually moved ourselves out to the patio, sitting under the umbrella tables. The drizzling rain, lines of parked Benz's, and snobby teens crying over their boyfriends on cell phones were our backdrop.

I've been meaning to catch up with her for a while now. She's been wanting to meet for dinner & drinks in DC and in Old Town. Yet, with our conflicting schedules, there hasn't been much time to see each other. It was nice to see her again. She's one of the few female friends that I never want to have a falling out with. Allison, though quite a few years older, has so much more in common with me than any of my other friends who are around my age. And no, it's not because we're asian. (Earlier we established that we were each other's ONLY ASIAN FEMALE FRIEND) We've got similar issues/walks of life and it's been fun relating that both to ourselves and our friendship.

Right now, she's going through a divorce. I know that can't be an easy thing for her to go through. She pulls off a silent confidence about herself that I admire. I'm glad to have her in my life again. (Apologies for being a terrible friend) Just let me know when you want to get some drinks after work. You seem to frequent DC/VA. You call the shots. I'll just drink them. :)

Ending shout out to Allison.

Allison, Serendipity 3 is on 225 E 60th Street in NY. The frozen hot chocolate is to die for! *DROOLS* Desserts aren't too shabby either. (Make a reservation. The wait can get ridicously long, but well worth it.)

Anyone read this month's WIRED, yet? I just got it in the mail the other day, and "Ahh Nold" looks bad ass on the cover. Interesting reads in this month's issue. Also, SPIN has a funny article about the "Cartridge family". Videogame bands that take on 80's nostalgia to the next level... Fun stuff.
