NYC and Fixing Things
May. 19th, 2013 04:08 pmSurvived New York! Hooray! Went into NYC on Tuesday night for my birthday dinner. Palmer and I took the train down, because there was no way we were trying to drive in the city. So Karin met us at Grand Central and we walked through Midtown to Cask Bar & Kitchen (or something like that) where we had craft cocktails, pickleback shots, and tasty food. It was a low-key birthday, and I got to celebrate with two of my favorite people. Also, I had a drink with bourbon and sage and it was freaking delicious. I need to look at their menu and figure out how they made it, becuase oh my god. SO TASTY.
The train ride home that night was exciting, mostly because two guys were drunk and were trying to buy a ticket with their debit card, and the conductor was an asshole who was having none of it. He called the cops and the guys got kicked off in Harlem. Good times! I was also afraid that I'd managed to get us on the wrong train, but luckily in my tipsiness I'd picked the right line. Go me!
Wednesday I went back into the city to hang with Karin. We basically walked around and caught up. Got to walk along the High Line, ate at a tasty restaurant, saw a lot of Chelsea and the West Village, and met some of Karin's friends from work. Also got to hang with Rachel, who I'd not seen in 2 years, so that was cool.
Very very glad to be home. NYC is great, and I want to visit more, but being stuck in a hotel room all day is not so fun. The cats are happy we're back too, though Loki is whining for food now, and has been for the last hour. You'd think we starve these guys.
My phone has been fixed! For the past few weeks I've been getting more and more frustrated with it, as it has been refusing to make calls, not sending texts, and generally being really goddamn slow. I was pretty pissed because I didn't want to have to get a new phone the second I was up for one, and it was looking more and more like I'd have to. Yesterday I was complaining to Palmer about it, and he suggested that we could try resetting it to factory default, as that might fix some of the problems. After doing a bit of research and discovering that other users were having the same problem, we decided to go ahead. Oh my god. It works so much better now! And because it deleted all my apps, I'm now going through and being selective about what I re-install! My phone is so clean now! And works! And makes calls, and texts, and loads pages quickly, I love it! :-D :-D :-D
Ok. This week is gonna be super freaking busy, and then we're leaving for Florida on Saturday. Should be a good time!
