Despite what my parents think, I live a pretty quiet life. I go to the lab, do some work, surf the internet, go home, read, and watch a little tv. On occassion, I get a beer or dinner with a friend, but that is pretty much the summary of my life. Maybe this quiet life stems from becoming older, but I do like it.
My friend, D, called me on Saturday as I was watching yet another hour of US Open Tennis and pretending to work on the computer.
"Hey, you doing anything tonight?"
"Ummm.... of course not."
"Let's go to Tsunami and maybe you can pick up some beer to bring to the restaurant."
Sounded like a good plan. I went to Trader's Joe and picked up large bottles of Chimay and La Fin du Monde. D came by promptly at 7:30pm. We walked to the restaurant hand in hand. Jewish boy, shiksa asian girl: a typical Brookline couple. Oh except, that we both like boys.
Tsunami was packed. The waiting list was going to be a half hour. Really in the mood for some sushi, we decided to put our names down on the list. What were we going to do for 30 min? Light bulb moment. I walked into Dunkin' donuts bought two paper cups. D and I went to the Coolidge Corner public library branch. On the stoop, we sat there with our paper cups drinking Belgium beer. Classy.
"You know ET#1, why do I only do ghetto things like this when I am with you?"
"Because I am fabulous and have never gotten over college."
"Okay, but soon we really will be too old for this."
"No matter how old we get, I will still make you do stupid crap."
"Okay. As long as we can be fat, old, and stupid together, it is a deal."

That sounds like fun! How come I've never sipped beer out of D&D cups with you et#1? I thought we were friends?
Although I realize it's not the focus of the post, Tsunami is a place I will NEVER eat at again. The service is AWFUL!!!! But, my list of restaurants to not eat at is a long one. Glad you had beer and company to pass the time.
