a quality day

indeed it was

jessica came up from philly and we wandered around that for an hour: this afternoon, my town had a "unity fest" as a community get-together to remember 9/11/2001... it had a general theme of "celebrate all the groups of people in the community and that we can coexist happily"... mostly people were selling arts and crafts, the firemen were running safety displays for little kids, people were registering people to vote, and there was live local entertainment (in particular we saw kids doing karate, a reggae group, and a modern dance group)...

then, having seen all there was to see, we came back to my house to get online and investigate our options... we both wanted to see "vanity fair" but the next time to see it was 3 hours away, whereas "garden state" was on in 40 minutes, and although i'd seen it before, i was more than willing to go see it again and jessica was interested too... i wasn't disappointed seeing it again at all :-), and jessica enjoyed it too.

after that, we played a couple games of yahtzee and then went to colonial diner, home of the best cheesecake in jersey, and possibly everywhere...

nothing extremely off the wall/flashy to do, but it was totally great, just to shoot the breeze and chat the afternoon away with a friend i hadn't seen in awhile... so major yay for that :-)

now to be good and do some work before heading to sleep :-P

later dudes.
