Apr. 15th, 2011 11:00 pmHappy 30th Birthday, Janna!
Tonight I went to the city for my friend Janna’s surprise birthday party. We went to this tiny restaurant called ‘Graffiti’ in East Village which served fusion type food, Mediterranean and Indian and lots of other flavors and it was certainly interesting. Janna’s surprise got slightly ruined because Marianna’s husband was running late and arrived just in time for Janna to see him right before she came to the restaurant. But she was still surprised. And it was a very nice time. We got margaritas (except Marianna who got a virgin margarita since she is almost eight month pregnant and her husband who doesn’t drink) and we shared the food from shrimp and scallions to duck and burgers – all with very interesting combinations. Marianna, Yeva and I got Janna a gift certificate for a spa and flowers. I only had one drink but I must have been tired too because by the time I got home, I felt almost dizzy and was happy to get in bed.
While I was in Manhattan, I was enjoying the beautiful trees that are now blooming. It was cold but since I got to the restaurant a bit early I had time to walk around a little bit.

Other random things from my day:
Today in the start of Fannish Library Fest and I posted my Highlander story there. There are nice book icons there too.
I got Jury duty questioner in the mail. Federal court too. Well, it has been seven years since last time. I don’t mind.
An article on what fandom (particularly Buffy) meant for one fan.
Grading history papers doesn’t kill the brain as much as grading English papers.
