amanda and i had dinner with jesse last night, who had come down (or up is perhaps a better word) from nyc to have a break from the city. his brother is also coming in to town today. we ate a taste of thai on the commons. it was quite tasty. jesse wanted to go to viva taqueria instead, but it is closed for an inderterminate amount of time for renovations.
amanda went some afterwards to continue studying, while jesse and i went to a bar (moonshadows) to talk about life, the universe, and everything. the bar got really smoky as time went by; new york’s statewide prohibition of smoking in restaurants and bars has not gone into effect yet.
jesse and i comtemplated that age old question: what should i do with my life? perhaps since we are no longer angstful teens or other young adult types, we approached the question from a more practical bent (i.e. how to support oneself) rather than, say, how do i give my life meaning point of view.
i guess we did not come to any useful conclusions, since we still don’t have the answer.
we also talked about weddings in general and my upcoming one in specific. jesse is apparently unaware of all the traditional responsibilities of the best man, but then i don’t really care about that so it does not really matter. amanda said earlier in the evening that we should get him one of those how-to books for the best man and give it to him.
