This was my last full day in VA!
For brunch we had alu-chanako tarkaari with eggs.
I didn't get a lot of work done, don't remember what exactly I did I for sure wasn't writing in there lol, but workwise it was quite unproductive. Oh yeah I've been looking on youtube lately searching for videos on making ribbon microphones and speakers. That's probably what happened. If only I had the space to do these things! I need a homebase maybe I've realized, soon enough. Either that, or go completely the other way.
We headed out to Arlington pretty early on. Went to Wendy's where we got a fries and the others got the jalepeno popper sandwich. I had too many fries I'll be honest I'm beginning to appreciate homemade fried potatoes and the fastfood fries seem to be overrated. Far too salty and dry for my newfound tastes.
Then we took the scenic route through that other place I don't remember, almost got delayed because of traffic there but at least we avoided the I95 and I495 which is awful in terms of sightseeing. Got to see the suburbs, the storage container places, etcetera.
At SB's place, fun was had. We had him, PS, his cousin A, and his parents. We had a cheese plate as appetizer...I ate hummus and chips and carrots and fruits. For the main course we had homemade pizza. Then it was revealed to us that other things were available as well, so we ate the most crispy yet flimsy juicy yummy selroti I've had here. We also had muri ko laddu and tiil ko laddu. So fulfilling, so great.
Talked a bunch about our plans, where we want to be, where we'll be meeting again, all of the good stuff. Got invited for the December wedding both from SB's side and PS's side.
We played poker for a few hours, SB's parents hadn't played before so they really enjoyed it. SB's dad thinks it would make it big in the Nepali youtube community if it was presented well. He thinks Nepalis will stop playing whatever traditional card games they currently play and move into poker if it's marketed properly. I said, yeah there's the youtube money, and you could also make monies from selling expensive poker sets!
We played several rounds of poker. SB's dad looked at my cards after I'd folded and figured out my play. Unfair! I didn't win but I didn't lose pathetically like I've done in the past. However poor A, she lost 3 buy-ins and was possibly on her fourth?
We headed out at 11.30/12 since everybody was yawning and we had to drive. There was terrible traffic on the way but it cleared up soonish and we got home in 40 minutes.
Compared notes and caught up, maybe smoked up a little bit as well don't remember that part haah gotcha, before going to sleep.
And that was my last day and night in VA!
