Emerging from a mother's womb

So yesterday was the anniversary of the sister's emergence into this world. No need to go into which anniversary but suffice it to say, it was her birthday and it was a lovely occasion.

I admit that it probably was not the best celebration ever: it started with an interview for her thesis project, but then she and I went for lunch. She chose the spot I picked up the tab. It was a good exchange though because the food was great and the restaurant pretty fucking cool. It has this very nightclub meets art deco meets lounge quality that I ate up alongside my delicious greek salad (and chunky chips:)

Went back to the flat for gift opening (meaning the gifts I purchased her as everyone else was either late in delivery, poor in the pocket, or providing them at a later date). Then it was off to the local coffee shop for wireless internet and uploading of CDs onto the computers. A meal of veg burgers, corn on the cob and mashed squash and potatoes was followed by a failed attempt at a lemon rissotto cheese cake, which was alright. A lack of mixer meant a drink apiece, and an episode of House.

It was uneventful and I am hoping that this weekend will make up for it. She's off interviewing today so she couldn't get too plastered anyways....oh well. That 22 year old will have to get her shits and giggles out on saturday night.

Now back to job apps and thesis crap.
