Back to work today. Have that interview this afternoon. Tracey has appearently called out today, but I am still intent on taking a damn lunch and leaving at 2 for this interview. Feel pretty well-rested, it was a lazy sort of weekend, mostly on account of the weather. Friday after work, I went home, took a shower and got some clothes together. Nick and I ventured out around 9 to Owl Bar, which I am very sorry to say is, in fact, going steadily and rapidly downhill. This, of course, breaks my heart, since I love that building so much and have had so many good meals and times there--- I was going to get married there--- however, the last two times we have been there, the quality just hasn't been up to par in any way, cleanliness, service, taste. I am glad atleast these last two times we have had the gift certificates and not put the money out of pocket. Damn shame. I'd still go back some time in the future and hope that it has improved. Following that, we went to The Wind-up. Haven't seen Rob and Angel or anybody since last Tuesday. Being that this past week was so rough on both of us, it was so awesome knowing that we could sleep in on Saturday and with the exception of the dogs, had nothing pressing to do.
Sleep in we did, and the weather was fucking horrible, torrential downpours all day, finally went out to the Halloween store for Nick to get his Joker costume, got drenched, came home and laid in front of the fireplace. Christina came over for a little while, then Nick and I went to Starbucks and stopped in Towson Diner to see her and Cyntia before getting ready to go to dinner ourselves. We had reservations for Woodberry Kitchen, which was very good, although I would have enjoyed my meal more were we not sitting on the edge of this balcony (in truth it fucked with Nick's vertigo far more than mine). Also, Nick is geting sick now, and he was starting to feel it during the meal. I got salmon, which was undercooked initially, but they sent me up a new one, ended up being too much food, really. The mashed potatoes were made with buttermilk, and they were amazing. I would have married this plate of mashed potoatoes!! Nick got pork tenderloin, which I kind of wished in retrospect that I had gotten. My salad was basic but very fresh and delicious, Nick's soup was a shrimp and corn bisque, which worked surprisingly well, and was very, very good. The desserts will be the death of me in places like this--- flourless chocolate cake, cinnamon ice cream (Oh, my God!!) for me, and this ice cream sundae for Nick with vanilla and espresso ice creams (the espresso wasn't as potent as I was hoping, actually), homemade chocolate chip cookie and chocolate marshmellow, chocolate sauce and caramel. Left feeling big as houses, poor Nick feeling his cold or allergies or whatever it is. We went to The Wind-up, mainly for Nick to get some whiskey in him, for medicinal purposes, Russell waved the covers for us, which ruled, and we made it home to sleep the fuck in yesterday.
Went on a little excursion to Hampden to Common Ground for coffee, Nick watched football and and Myth Busters, as did I, when I wasn't dozing. Went home to meet Mom and Tony who were dropping off some stuff for Carmin and I--- Buba and Pop's vacuum and old kitchen table, and some other stuff. When they left, I ran back over to Nick's having picked up dinner for us, and saw him parents who just got back from Ithica. Went to bed around 9:30. Realized it had been since last Tuesday that I had slept in my bed, woke well-rested and pretty raring to go. Would feel better if my digestive system got back in line, plan on starting that Activia yogurt thing.
This place has been a fucking mad house already. Will be glad to leave for lunch, then this interview, then go home!! Tonight we are going to Rob's friend's house in Ellicott City to watch The Ravens' game, so Club Charles will probably send out a missing person's ad for us haha.
