going out in a blizzard

ladies night out was fun. pinxtos for hands down best tapas where the three of us split two bottles of wine. stopped at sapphire lounge but it was still empty so we went to b.o.b. - still my favorite dance spot. all the girls had a good time. didn't hurt that we got two rounds of drinks on the house.

sat went to work. working hung over is no fun. in any case, with the blizzard and being tired, i wasn't so pumped about going out again. but having already committed to going to see project jenny project jane - i went out anyway. had a surprisingly delicious dinner at the diner with the roommie. tiny place- cozy is a good word to describe it. simple menu but they had a number of specials. we shared an appetizer of crostini topped with olives, garlic, and onions. i had the flank steak with creamy mashed potatoes and the roommie had incredibly tender short ribs.

it was hard to leave the diner and head back into the cold. . but we somehow managed. we arrived at sin-e just in time to catch the show. unfortunately, the crowd was not super receptive and there were some technical difficulties. . .overall, not their best showing, but still fun. afterwards, we met up with ka-ting2 at the lotus for some drinks. by 1:30 i was ready to call it a night. . . fate would not have it.

the roommie and i tried to hail a cab, then catching the train, then hailing a cab, and finally gave up and just started walking to the essex JMZ station. . as luck would have it, we just missed the train to brooklyn and had to wait a good 20 minutes before the next one came. . didn't get home until 3:30, was thoroughly wet, tired, and plum worn out.

needless to say, i will not be going out in a blizzard again any time soon!
