saturday

didn't make it back to the machine yesterday, but it was for a good cause- we finally ate @ rosa mexicano, thanks to restaurant week, because i had a hard time believing that mexican food (which i love, but consider very simple) could possibly be worth $22 a plate. so we took advantage of the reduced restaurant week price and had dinner there last night, and lemme tell you, it's worth the $22 entree, $11 app and $14 dessert. and i'm a hardcore value-for-$ person, so i not playing. it was, hands down, the best mexican food i ever had, and i liked it more than cafe atlantico (which we tried earlier in the week, and thought was alright). so now the favourite restaurants are red sage, rosa mexicano and raku- so much for losing 10lbs. oh well.
and oh shit! chrystyna+stephen, who we had dinner with last night are pregnant!
everybody's doing it, but it doesn't make me feel any more ready to go there. i'd have to give up lipton yellow label and sushi and even some cooked fish, and drugs+alcohol. i feel ok about the prospect of giving up my life to my child when the time comes, but not the food!

so today i'm rehearsing for the staged reading of shakespeare's pericles (i think that's the one) that i'm in tomorrow. cam's directing, and i'm apparently watkins' (of stripper-dream fame) love interest and goddess diana, so it should be fun. rehearsal's noon-5pm, so i have to run off momentarily, but maybe between that and liming with glen+ilana tonight i'll get back to post the next fiction 'chapter'.
walk good.

Yes! Jenn and I have made Rosa Mexicana the site of her semester-ending celebratory dinner two semesters running! Their tortilla soup is the best soup ever prepared by man or God.

We did Galileio and Ceiba for restaurant week. Galileio was way too expensive (I mean, would have been any other week) and extremely snobby, but the food was very good. Ceiba knocked it out of the park--super yummy South American food, and not that expensive. Just a great place.
