Andersen Silva's Journal

27th April, 2008. 8:44 pm. See Caucus

I rented "Mcmonigle," another Mazda 3, from Zipcar on Friday, and headed to Hoboken bright and early to pick it up. Whoever had rented it last hadn't refilled it a quarter of a tank, as suggested, so I had to deal with that, as well as the cigarette smoke smell, on my way to work.

After work, I swung home to change and to grab the two six-packs from my refrigerator, then I drove out to Landing to meet Adrian and Julio at the latter's house. Adrian was there already; Julio was not. Heh... When he did show up, fifteen minutes later, with his wife and daughter, he gave us the tour of the house, then the three of us settled down to burgers, dogs, and beers. And catching up with each other's lives. It was good to see the other two Amigos again, even if we didn't get around to playing a round of Monopoly Friday night. Hopefully, we'll see each other again soon...

I'd planned on seeing elizabeth! Saturday night, but I think the lack of sleep lately played fast and loose with my systems, as I woke up feeling poorly early Saturday morning. After dropping the Zipcar off in Hoboken, I returned home and napped for a few hours, but awoke still feeling out of sorts. I wasn't nearly as productive as I'd intended to be, and I opted to stay home last night and rest. Gave me a chance to catch up on my TiVoed "Doctor Who" and "Battlestar Galactica" episodes from the night before, at least.

This morning, however, I was feeling better (and hungry!), so I took the train to Princeton Junction, where Barbara picked me up, and we headed to Lambertville and had big breakfasts at Sneddon's with Roger and Porter. And then on to the Shad Fest! I hadn't been to one in a few years, so it was good to be back. I bought a stainless-steel tankard from Wild Bill's and sampled some of their olde fashion soda pop in it; mmm, sarsaparilla... The steak sandwich (and a half) I consumed for lunch was good, too. And you can't go wrong with River Horse beer.

Unfortunately, the train schedules for my trip home didn't work out so well, and I've been killin' time on a bench at Secaucus Junction for well over an hour now. Fortunately, a cute blonde's been sharing the bench with me for the past fifteen minutes or so.  ;-)

Current mood: tired.
Current music: "Only" by Nine Inch Nails.
