update hip date

so on wednesday raul and i went on a date. living together with three other people is different than being by yourself together...go figure. anyway it was really nice to go out just the two of us and it was nice to come home to our friends and talk about it afterwards. 

hip date. 

raul met me at my work and i was late of course because the parents came late to pick up their babies. then we went to catch the bus to hawthorne but it never came and we were super hungry so we went to walk around downtown to find something. we found a great chinese place and like all the times we go to chinese restaurants we were the only ones there. i had some great chicken chow mein (yes, chicken, freak out about it. viktoriya says that if i crave meat its because my body wants it, that i need the protein. she lived in ukraine when it was the soviet union so i feel like she is very wise.) then we decided that instead of the movies across the river we'd just stay on our side and go to the living room theatre on 10th. it was so super great. its an arte house theatre with a restaurant and a bar. you can eat there or have them bring it to you in the theatre and you can watch the movie while eating and drinking! too much fun. we drank stellas and watched the movie 'go-getter'. very good. i loved it. it has that zooey girl from 'elf' in it. man, i'll buy it when it comes out...that good. then since it was such a nice night we decided to walk home. it was an hour and 20 minute walk but we got to walk next to the river and see them lift the bridge for a ship. 

that night there was a crazy storm with super loud thunder. it was so loud it shook the windows. then it rained so hard and so loud that we had to close the windows then it was too hot and so on and so forth and then i was tired at work. 

but! work was easy on thursday because a lot of parents had half days and got ready for their vacays with the fam. by 1230 we only had 10 kids so it was an easy-peasy day. 

viktoriya invited me to her church - its a russian church! they have english translation head phones. i'm way too excited. 

right now i'm watching 'weeds' with jerry and laurel and it's a very good show.
