after class, robin and i went to the gym and then trekked to the mexican walmart for household (as well as anti-skin scorching) necessities and she bought the closest thing to honeycrisp apples that she could find. which was a treat for both of us. a quiet and pleasant afternoon.

for dinner, robin and christian and i went to the centro and had dinner at this amazing place called amalfi's. we had pizza with prosciutto (which was misleading as it was only for thinly sliced ham, goddamit--not that i'm complaining, it was still really good) and the single most delicious vegetarian pizza i've ever eaten (eggplant, spinach, zucchini, and tomato). this all supplemented by the bottle of red wine that we shared. and flan for dessert. i can't help but think that the experience was heightened by the incredible handsome-ness of the waiters. happy birthday to me.

after, christian took us to a hotel bar not far from the restaurant, where we sat on a large balcony, warmed on the slightly chilly night by propane heaters and provided toasty blankets. i had a fancy drink with cranberry, lime and a surprise cherry at the bottom and listened to an array of ambient electro and daft punk remixes. all this while admiring the view above and over the hotel as well as the fish-tank like swimming pool that robin and i fought the urge to jump into.

and then out to cholula for a little while. just so i could see the assortment of small bars fixed into train box cars called container city. we listened to music and the array of hair metal music videos and people watched.

and then home, to sleepily think of the people that i wish could have celebrated with me... there's next year.
