Birthday Party

[abracanabra]

Thanks to everyone who made it to my birthday party! I was really happy I was able to just hang out and talk with so many of my friends. And after the party, I have a lot of interesting and tasty things to drink, and the equivalent of an entire large (and tasty, but rather overwhelming) carrot cake left over.

And I learned never ever to mention that I don't know who Journey is ever again.

Names of things I couldn't remember at the time:

La Chaya Bistro is the restaurant we went to on my actual birthday. It's a Mexican-Italian fusion place that uses organic, local ingredients. The food is delicious and has a good kick to it, but if you don't like cilantro, inquire before ordering.

Lagaan (Land Tax) is the Bollywood movie set in colonial India, in which a band of villagers must learn to play cricket well enough to defeat the British. If they do, they won't have to pay the harsh land tax for 3 years. It's a very good Bollywood movie, and by the end of it, you will have a better appreciation for cricket too!

Ah, good. We'd been meaning to try La Chaya but hadn't gotten around to it; glad to know it went well.

Yup, I'd recommend it. Um, more comments--sit inside, instead of on the outside patio, which seems to self-populate with annoying people. Even on a weekday evening, it was almost full, so reservations are probably needed. The pizzas were acceptable for one person, but the entrees were where the good (and expensive) food was found.
