weekend review

well i'm recovered from a wonderful weekend with christopher and couldn't have any less motivation for work and class as a result.

he came in late on friday, and I really have no recollection of us doing anything overly fun. saturday after I got off work we got ready to head to Aquitaine for a nice dinner to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. I took quite a long time to decide on a pre-dinner cocktail, basically because I didn't want to seem like a little bitch with a cosmo, regardless of how delicious Aquitaine's version of it seemed. neither or us could remember what was in a sidecar, so I opted for that, and sure enough there came my sugar-rimmed drink in a little cocktail glass. so much for that!

after eating their delicious little cheese puff bread things, I moved onto the chicken liver mousse terrine with cornichons, whole grain mustard & warm levain. it was delicious, though for some reason my palate just wasn't going for its saltiness that night. oh well. for dinner i had the roasted lamb provençal, something i did not see on the online menu. it came with artichoke hearts and some other vegetables that I don't recall - it was delicious. bobo started with a French Manhattan, had the salade du marché, and then the steak au poivre. we both had wine with dinner, but we ended up being too full for dessert.

we then met up with bryan and proceeded to drink sherry and wine before we finally figured out what christopher's friends were up to, and as a result headed back to his place. we managed to get in a fight on the way home, as is often custom when we leave bryan's, but after drinking more at dwight we were just fine. seeing people like kaitlyn, pam, and mark there was a pleasant surprise.

sunday i worked, and in the afternoon went to a bastille day festival in harvard. it ended up being lame, complete with very unfrench brazilian dancers, but walking around harvard square is always nice. bryan, peter, kristen, and john accompanied us. that evening i ended up being tired as shit and passed out by 11.

we spent monday morning in beacon hill (i ditched work and class) and sat at a cafe for a bit. after grabbing pizza at upper crust, we went to eat it in the public garden. some shopping ensued - i got nice pants from zara - and then we headed back. stopping at trader joe's, we picked up stuff for dinner, then made dinner for kristen and gopi back at dwight. later we drank a bit and made s'mores before heading back here to sleep.

today i worked at BC, but Chris picked me up for lunch at Fin's. i really do love their lunch specials - such a good deal! i got the Unagi Bento and he the maki lunch. then it was a quick stop at pier 1 and then back to his place to pack before he went back to CT. i ended up working out, buying a bike helmet, and stopping at shaw's. that's about the extent of my day/weekend!
