i sort of just upgraded mt, and then neglected to take it for a spin until now.\u00a0 i have however since tweaked the design and layout to a point that i\u2019m fairly happy with.\u00a0 it\u2019s a \u2018variation\u2019 on what the old journal used to look like, which i suppose is moot considering i didn\u2019t even keep copies of the old layout files.\u00a0 oops.\u00a0 anyhoo\u2026its purty enough for me at this point.\u00a0 the ajax script was a wee annoying to incorporate when combined with how the archive pages are stored (had a hiccup in the coding for a few days)\u2026but even that\u2019s sorted out.\u00a0 go me!\u00a0 and i say that with the knowledge that my web skills are pretty shit these days, compared to my more outgoing days in the distant past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GENERIC JOURNAL ENTRY<\/b>
huh, and i noticed that while i was posting up my journal entries for prague, i didn\u2019t even bother to log into my journal my social shenanigans.\u00a0 so in turn, i have to dial the journal all the way back to the beginning of october.\u00a0 gar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WILLIAMSBURG!<\/b>
well\u2026sometime in the not-so-distant past, i made it a point to hang out in williamsburg with kayako.\u00a0 it was a dinner meet-up, with neither really deciding where to go til i made it a point to say \u201ci\u2019m down for anywhere really\u2026even your neighborhood\u2026hint hint<\/i>\u201c.\u00a0 i just felt the need to get out of manhattan and away from my usual watering holes that weekend.\u00a0 so we ended up at dumont burger<\/i>\u2026i think it was.\u00a0 it was good stuff, tho at that point i was feeling a little under the weather (sickness possibly).\u00a0 we hung out later at k\u2019s place mixing fancy drinks and then imbibing the aforementioned fancy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i met my family for brunch the next morning so i could give my niece her gift i got in prague.\u00a0 she sort of tossed it aside and then sat on it.\u00a0 adorable.\u00a0 on the bright side tho, she calls me uncle now and is growing up frighteningly fast.\u00a0 ohny was that weekend too, but i wasn\u2019t feeling so hot and ended up holing away in my apartment the rest of the weekend (sorry margie!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIED CHICKEN HUNTING<\/b>
the following weekend was a group trip with hosan and company to congee village<\/i> to check out their chinese version of fried chicken\u2026called garlic chicken.\u00a0 that was all kinds of awesome.\u00a0 sadly, that was the highlight of that weekend, as i spent the rest of it staring at my apartment ceiling.\u00a0 k, big stretches of time doing nothing\u2026super.\u00a0 oh here we go\u2026we had our second dinner with building-mates at el paso<\/i> on 104th.\u00a0 it was good eating\u2026drinking too. we\u2019ve been trying to do it every other month, but this is obviously easier said than done.\u00a0 still fun tho to eat around the neighborhood, because god knows i wouldn\u2019t bother if left to my own devices.\u00a0 the following friday was also dinner at max and patsy\u2019s.\u00a0 we were expecting frightening scottish fare, but instead got pretty rockin\u2019 lasagna.\u00a0 thumbs up.\u00a0 and finally\u2026yesterday was a small get-together with cornell aap alumns in dumbo at rebar<\/i>.\u00a0 that was fun\u2026and a first.\u00a0 they got some feedback from us about what to do and what not to do.\u00a0 do\u2019s included short surveys, more meet-ups (preferably with liquor), and more often\u2026because its too easy to lose touch with people.\u00a0 don\u2019ts included long surveys\u2026and no liquor.\u00a0 or something.\u00a0 yea.\u00a0 k\u2026this post took too long, blah.\u00a0 stupid fancy formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
