Random Pick-up and Date Nite

First, I joined NaBloPoMo, while sounding like something illegal in 11 states, is supposed to be November Blogging (Po?) Month. And I was supposed to Blog everyday. Including yesterday.

I like getting my mistakes, like homework, done early.

Second, I had a chance to go out and I took it: Date Nite.

Problem, for the last 24+ months our budget has been grim (we recycle half licked throat lozenges). Seriously, everything is broken. I am getting budget oxygen: I get O 1.5 because I can’t afford O2 anymore (Ba-dum-BUM!). But there was a groupon from about 8 months ago for Baja Grill, and we stopped by the library on the way there. I had done my exercising Monday, which means both low edema and very pert breasts. We stopped by the library on the way and not only made a score on the 3 day renters (free, but only for three days): X-men: first class (B+), Thor (Pretty...and pretty shallow, B), Green Hornet (C+) and Extraordinary Measures. Sorry, no Hannah but saw Young Victoria last week (A!!).

All three shelves of the three day films were full. And for some reason, when I am in pain, I laugh. The day after a workout I am in pain. So, in trying to get to the bottom shelf, I was slowly, sliding down, until I got onto a knee, giggling the whole way, as there was one guy to the right and a woman to the left (and X: men and Thor were on the bottom shelf). The guy looked down at the pert breasts and said, “Actually, I’m married, but…” which he probably thought I then giggled in response. I was instead thinking ‘Oh my gluts, how the heck am I getting back up?’ Linda seems to think he was offering a ‘fling’ (I thought he meant us getting married if he wasn’t – Linda is more, um, earthy that way, and far more up on the whole flirting it seems).

Then it was on to the Baja Grill which has one of Victoria cities 28 wheelchair parking spots directly opposite (the library has one as well). They have a wheelchair entrance and were just cleaning up after a dinner event. They had drinks for $4 and $4 taco’s (with cabbage, which was actually very yummie, and chunks of steak instead of ground beef). In case you are wondering why I have green lines on me, it is because they had club laser lighting bursts which would have made the entire cat shelter of felines happy. I am wearing my arm warmers and my H-Angry h.naoto hoodie which has ears on the hood. Note how the cleavage that seems to go up and WAY up, purple top, feather earring and braid/plait.

Victoria has a NEW accessible club, as the Baja Grill runs a weekend restaurant, then re-opens like 12:30 and clubs until 3:00 am or so, serving Taco’s, and light food with drinks. As several restaurants have opened and closed in this location, the idea of having both a club and a restaurant in the same local for the same rent seems a solid business plan. He told me some of the people who come clubbing in wheelchairs, and they have wheelchair toilets upstairs or down, and an elevator so access from three venues. And that fits with my wake schedule. It is at 535 Yates St. The entrée was $11, for a large chicken burrito entree, which we split with two tacos, and a fresh cilantro salsa and chip for $2. They had a mango hot sauce which was lovely, on the three spots on my tongue (front, and two spots on the right) that can taste hot sauce. So affordable and private as they do most business on weekends and then special events.

It took me about 22 hours to recover from going out but, I went out! So no regrets since better to do something than to think about what could have been done.

That’s it, back to Green Hornet, and I will see you tomorrow (maybe this weekend we can go to the Scottish Pub: Linda said as we passed it going to Baja Grill, "Oh, we could go here, I think it is an Irish bar"

I said, pointing to the glass etching, "I'm thinking the 'Scottish Bar' on every window must confuse them a bit, then").
