Mar. 17th, 2003 01:53 amSo sunday we went to Princeton NJ with Kit and Cherie. The weather has decided to play nice, and remembered that it's almost the official start of spring soon and granted us warm weather on saturday and sunday, after giving us sleet and other nasty crap on thursday.
In Princeton we first spent time at the Record Exchange and I walked away with some great deals... I found an Autumn cd (the US darkwave outfit, not the European metal one), which I hadn't expected at all... mint condition for $3.99! I also took home NIN Further Down The Spiral and Head Like a Hole for $3.99 and $1.99 and Peter Murphy's Holy Smoke for $4.99. This along with the nice weather made me a very happy person indeed.
The rest of the afternoon was spent wandering around the campus admiring the architecture and taking pictures and such. I really hope that the warmer weather keeps up, I'm very sick of winter.
While wandering around trying to find a place to eat we ended up in a store called Etc. Company which sells home furnishings and accessories, where I saw very exquisite asian plates and stuff. We've been looking for good noodle/laksa bowls and these were lovely... they're a gunmetal colour on the outside, with a slight shimmer to them. Inside they have green glazing, glazing that has kind of settled in the bottom into a crackleware pattern. It's very pretty. Now I want the other square and rectangular plates and stuff that they had... maybe the next time we go to Princeton... the bowls were fairly expensive, so we settled for 4 of them and nothing else.
We had dinner back in New Brunswick at an Ethiopian restaurant, an interesting experience to say the least due to the fact that it's finger food. No cultlery, just "bread" which resembles a cross between a pancake, a sponge and a chamois cloth. With this "bread" you basically grab bits of food and globs of the curry-like foods. Very yummy though, albeit a messy way to eat.
Back at Kit and Cherie's place we watched Eddie Izzard's Glorious show and ate some brownies that I baked saturday night and had brought along. PreZ got fitted for his jacket, so now Kit can work on that some more.
Devon will arrive sometime tuesday night, and will stay until sunday. Should be good fun. I hope the lovely weather holds out, it's so much nicer to go to the city when your extremities aren't threatening to fall off your body due to extreme cold.
Must also organise when it's convenient to go poke needles through skin again with Cherie and go get pierced. Last weekend when we were out bowling we found out that we both want the same piercing done... It sounds really lame, but it's actually a complete coincidence. So we figured we'd get them done at the same time, just for good measure.
