magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

alex was in austin this past weekend for the ride for the roses. we hung out friday and saturday evenings. dinner, conversations, a couple of beers. it was nice. i do wish we could get together more often than once every two years or so. same goes for all of my long distance friends. he did suggest we come out to seattle some time, although our current rule of thumb is no travel plans until we can afford to buy a mattress.

last night stef and i went out to a show at the continental club, a bar down the street, where we met up with heather, a girl she works with, and her boyfriend. it's really the first time we've gone out since we've been here, aside from a few drinks at the ginger man. it wasn't exactly 'my scene' but i had a good time.

and today is chris's birthday. happy birthday.
