Yesterday was my birthday and I was expecting minimal fanfare and a few phone calls and well-wishes (which I rather prefer) but the folks in my office got together and left me several presents for me to find upon my arrival as well as a card signed by the 80 some-odd people I see on a day to day basis. They went all out and brought cake and cupcakes- it was really sweet of them to do, they don't do that for most people and it made the day pretty special.
I ended the day intending to do absolutely nothing, but apparently that could not be allowed so Cee and I headed out for the night starting at California Pizza Kitchen where she became infatuated by the boy-band-alike host and demanded to take a picture with him.
Afterwards we went over to Seven in on Santa Monica where Morty was spinning tunes for lounge flies and foreign hotel patrons. Morty and I have similar musical taste so I was in my element. It was not packed and really chill- having been at Anthony's til 5 am the night before I needed the relaxed atmosphere. I only wish people had less inhibition because it was a little rigid.... Maybe I just completely lack inhibition and am asking too much.
The night ended with the doorman and I sharing conversation sparked by the fact that we were both celebrating our birthdays. He was a nice guy from a town one of my printers works out of which is not too far from where my extended family is living in Indy.
Cee, Doorguy, Bar guy, and myself went to the taco spot across the road for some late night food and then we parted ways- with Cee and I taking a nice stroll in the crisp night.
It made me realize I've been a bit of a hermit lately, and all work and no play.... something something....
It was a pleasant night.
