Overall this weekend will be looked back upon by me with definite surprise; I managed to finish my taxes, do laundry, clean my apartment, finish building a chair and put up my mini-blinds (after 2 months of wide-open windows).
On Friday I finally tried out the Pop Burger everyone's been talking about. I convinced my "best friend" Tammy to come along (best friend in quotes because the "best" part isn't mutual :-D ). This place sort of reminds of what a speak-easy might have been like: a non-descript burger place on the outside but in the back a chic lounge with a bar hidden in a deep recess. This place is famous for their mini-burgers that were pretty good! It was a good time eating the burgers and onion rings while swapping stories about our all-too-Asian mothers.
And after watching the latest episode of 30 Rock, Aman called me up and next thing I know, I was on a train headed to West Village to go out to a bar with Aman and Min Li. I finally ordered the Brooklyn Lager that everyone talks about here in NYC and it was alright, a oddly hollow initial taste with a strong after taste...not bad. I also heard way too much about pick up strategies from Aman than I ever cared to know (or use).
Saturday I woke up to run some errands and surprisingly went into the office to finish my taxes! At night went to Zach's (my tech lead) birthday party in the East Village. Ended up being quite a party and I met other folks who work for the same company who were a lot of fun!
Sunday got out of bed and for some reason decided that I finally needed to put up my blinds and build that last chair. I finally got around to reading the Economist during the afternoon and there were quite a number of interesting articles about nationalizing US banks, the economic crisis for Eastern Europe and the cost of waste management in the world!
