Food friends and food [Friday 20]

Got up reasonably on time, and wrote quite a bit. Had to wait for the toilet for quite some time, but there was no real urgency so it was fine. Commute was as usual, in that it was pretty unremarkable, except for the fact that I told my roommate P that I'd see him later at work.

Work was actually quite busy -- not as busy as Thursday but remarkably so, so I had little time to do my own writing stuff. I managed the interns a bit too, and got most of our things working, which has taken a lot of time. I'm proud of having brought the product this far. For lunch, since it was our last lunch with one of the managers, we went to a popular fried chicken place in Boston, and everyone ordered chicken. I ordered stir fried tofu and it was pretty great. There was a lot of memorable conversations about WWE, WWF, wrestling, wrestlers, the life of the spanish-languge wrestling federation, and so forth on our way back. I discovered a bug that was preventing one of the parts from working, and began working on the fix. By this time, it had been like 3, and everyone was beginning to head out, so I started working a bit on my writing ideas. One of the ideas I've come up with recently (and have been thinking about in a while, including posting here) is about a post riverified Kathmandu and how it would change everything. It has been my secret fantasy for a while, and since I can't do anything about it I'm turning it into a novel.

Everyone was out by 4.30, so I waited a bunch until my friends were over and then they got drinks as I drank almond milk (review: just okay), and shot the shit. SSh went to hang with her other friends, as we tried figuring out what we wanted to do. It took us a really long time to figure it out actually because competing factions had competing interests. In the end, we ended up taking two trains to Lechmere, an uber from there to tasty momo and spending two hours there eating momos. I got the vegetable momo even when I thought I wasn't really hungry. I discovered that I was really actually pretty hungry. The we went to our place, and hung out for a couple of hours, and then three of our other friends showed up. PraBhu left because they had to drive down today, and soon later, the other guys left too. At this point, the night should have ended but no, the three of us roommates were up until 3.

It was really Su's fault, for he was really sleepy but wanted to talk anyway so he was provoking us by BS arguments and make us talk till really late. We kept trying to explain to him that the supply-demand equation does not have anything to do with blackmailing, fraud or death threats, but he kept insisting that's all it was. He also suggested (later admitted that it was all a ploy to let us not sleep either) that a good way to save the environment would be for everyone to work in the environmental field, and the laws of supply and demand wouldn't work there. Anyway, I went to sleep at maybe 3.30, and then somehow got up at 830 in the morning and man I  was pissed.

I gave Kombucha to all our guests last evening, and there was a large general appreciation of the 'booch, and I was really happy about that because I didn't like the jalepeno, ginger, tomato, banana-plut flavor of kombucha myself, but whatever.

Also, someone saw a mice in our apartment, and we didn't really believe them yesterday, but someone saw it again this morning, and saw that those buggers had eaten some of our breads, so now we believe that and we need a way to fix that shit. More on that later.

As a sidenote, due to sleeping really late yesterday and getting really late/early and really tired today, combined with the rest of the activities for the day, I didn't really get to complete this, or anything for the day today, so I'm writing this late at night, 12/16 hours after I normally do.
