Review - La Cholita
The atmosphere. The buzz. All the tequila options. Even on a Tuesday night the place filled up fast. Having taco options of pumpkin, fish, prawns and pineapple could be considered adventurous, and the cheese quesadilla to follow was perfect - not too heavy, not too light. The location, which last night included people watching onto William St, is a draw card. Adding in sangria to the mix, wonderful.

Review - Is Donburi William Street
For somewhere that looks as unassuming as a lunch bar, the food here is fantastic. The gyoza, with a mushroom filling, is Amazing.

2013.1
1. I am more self assured than I have ever been.
2. I attribute this to my Don Johnson Miami Vice era designer stubble lol.
3. No, actually it might be after months of putting up those positive reinforcement messages on Facebook and other social sites and email, that the messages I am looking for are finally starting to seep in to my consciousness.
4. Example of positive messages I have been searching out - 'You are only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with so be brave enough to let go of those who keep weighing you down'.
5. And I feel very much like the Pied Piper of Hamelin at the moment.
6. Nine lunch or dinner dates with nine different women over the next eight days lol. Popularity totally sucks lol. And the thing with the scheduling is that it was SO EASY. In the past, I used to put uber effort into some friendships and hardly get anything back. With the girls over the next couple of weeks, it has been me asking, wanna catch up, and them saying, yes, of course. That ease of organisation hardly ever has happened for me before.
7. The loving bond She and I have grows stronger and stronger. There have been times, from both sides, where we have frustrated the fuck out of each other, but in the end, it is almost two years since we had our first Face to Face, and we haven't killed the other yet. Mission accomplished?
8. 'What would we do without each other?' - 'Ain't that the truth.'
9. I feel I have everything under control. What I can't control, doesn't matter.
10. Not that I would ever say She is one of the things that would ever be under my control, but even there, we are in a good place lol.

Three Hundred and Two
The Verve, Lucky Man, on my internet radio.
Reminds me back in the day - almost a decade ago now - that I was in Ottawa, with a woman (it didn't work out), but the fact that I used to do The Verve for karaoke. Since they hadn't made it big in Canada, I could do whatever type of 'singing' I wanted, and none of the locals were any the wiser.
Remember, that was before all music videos of all time could be easily checked on YouTube LOL.
Ottawa was all types of mess, but Verve karaoke was one of the good moments.
Three Hundred and One
Christmas started off quietly this year. I slept in until about 9am, and then was calling friends for a good portion of the morning. Well, by friends, I also mean family, I was on the phone out East with both my parents and my younger niece. Who regaled me with the tales of her presents. Was nice, though I only could catch one word in three.
Then I napped until about 12.30 in the afternoon. It was a scorcher, and I was surprisingly tired.
Wandered around to the place where I would be for the day in the mid afternoon. I had had another couple of offers to spend time with friends and such, but as much as I love my friends, there was only one place I really wanted to be for the day.
Gin and tonic, beer, cider while lazily chatting and hardly moving from the spot underneath the fan. We were going to go swimming, in the river no less, but we would have been burnt to a crisp wandering there and back. The kids were popping in and out as they pleased basically.
Then dinner, a DVD, and an overnight stay on the couch.
It was fabulous, if quite understated.
