every day's a new dumb adventure
Of Mexican feasts and candy soirees
Today I said farewell to one friend and hello to another. First off
was jeff's Mexican fiesta farewell. He's moving on to the NYC office
and today was his last day in the sf office. In fact, it was his last
day in sf for a little while. He was headed to the airport straight
after work. There was quite a posse gathered for lunch, it's as if
people like him or something.
Bye jeff! It's an end of an era, and I can't wait to hear about your
new adventures!
After work dk and I ventured off to michael aki's candy popupshop
birthday party. Aki's party was a candy heaven. There was sour candy
galore, chocolate gummis, mini cupcakes, cream puffs, and the ultimate
in awesome: a cotton candy machine with three flavors. Dk and I took a
turn spinning the cotton candy. We got distracted and when I looked
back, there was a candy mess. I tried to salvage it, but it didn't
really work out. It was just mess on a stick. Dk however managed to
make it work out just nice. She clearly knows her cotton candy spin
better than I.
Sadly I ended up leaving the party a little early. [edit].
It was probably better this way. Had I stayed longer I probably would've
eaten every piece of candy. and well, I had already had my share and then
some. Happy birthday aki! Thanks for the fun shindig. Best party theme ever!
Finally, after an odd taxi ride home (taxi driver talked at me like I
was his therapist) I decompressed and headed to skeeball. At the last
minute, Laura couldn't join Jenny and me, so chris came to save the
day. He's preettty good for a noob and our team score really improved
with him there. Thanks chris!
But now I really must go and brush my teeth. It's been quite a day.

Tower of babble.
This evening jeff (who's a new face to the sugar HQ) and I met up with
Carolyn for some drinking and eating. The three of us used to work
together back in the tower days and like to hang out every so often.
Sadly, we hadn't grabbed eats in almost a year. It didn't feel that
long but it was. Funny how time flies.
Speaking of time flying, it's hard to believe we spent almost three
hours at fang (the fancy version of honk). I'd like to say that it's
just because we were enjoying each other's company so much, but
reality is the service there is pretty crappy. They never even asked
us if we wanted another round of drinks and it took like an hour to
get the check. It was like the exact opposite of honk. (Good thing we
had a lot of catching up to do.) The food however was delicious (if
not lacking that wok essence I expect from honk). But all that said I
had a great time and enjoyed my company tremendously. It just might
have been even more fun with a second cocktail.
