redbird: me with purple hair (purple)
( Sep. 5th, 2010 09:50 pm)
[livejournal.com profile] gothgeekgirl and her husband [livejournal.com profile] diskerror are in town for the weekend, and [livejournal.com profile] cattitude, [livejournal.com profile] roadnotes, and I just had dinner with them in the Village. We went to Ido Sushi, the same place Roadnotes and I went a few weeks ago; this time the chef sent out a complimentary plate of seared tuna and mushrooms after our salads. I suspect this is connected to how empty the place was: it seemed as though the entire population of Greenwich Village had left town for the weekend. (Near the end of our meal, another party came in. I wasn't expecting huge crowds, but 6:30 isn't incredibly early for dinner, and we took our time.) So, nice fish and excellent conversation: mostly catching each other up on our lives, with some references back to the relatively distant past.

Before that, I went to the gym, because I'd been feeling vaguely grumpy and working out often helps. It was a good workout, and I left about 10 minutes before the gym closed (this branch is only open till six on Sundays), which gave me time to stop at Penn Station and sort out my railroad ticket refund on the way downtown. There was almost no line, and the clerk was helpful and straightforward.

After dinner, Roadnotes, Diskerror, and Gothgeekgirl went on to a piano bar, and I headed home, because I was already something of a tired hobbit. Exercising is very good for my mood, but it does use physical energy. I might have stayed out longer for more conversation, but piano bars aren't a good place for that.
