Two Classmates Walk Into a Bar

Blog Yeah, kitt finished writing this at 12:56 on 24 January 2018

Okay, so, tell me, what are the chances that two classmates from Phoenix, Arizona, both end up living in the capital of another country? Let's be real, not very high.

Yet, here we are.

Jonathan and I went all the way to the west end to meet up with Brad and Lily, the former I hadn't seen in decades, the latter I had never met. Except there's a non-zero chance I had actually crossed paths with Lily, as she loves ultimate as much as I do. We might have played against each other at some game in the OCUA leagues, just please let her never have played for that terrible team that insisted I remove my jersey when I stood on the far sideline, because it "distracted their teammates." (Editor: no, she did not, she played at my level, not at the chump level of that team.)

Meeting up was more than a little bit awkward before we settled into reminiscing mode, and then lunch was just so lovely. I am delighted to meet up with these two, hear their history, learn about their kids, and just catch up. I am so hopeful we can hang out frequently soon.

Soufflé's POV

Carol came over for dinner today. To my delight, she was okay with my making soufflés! Just not chocolate soufflés (insert a grumpy emoji here, an emoji that my site doesn't support, hence even more grumpy emojis). I am unsure how I can be friends with someone who doesn't like chocolate, but woe I guess I can endure /woe. And kidding, Carol is lovely. But no chocolate.

So, I made green tea soufflés.

Ever wonder what a green tea soufflé sees? Well, wonder no more, here is the point of view of green tea soufflés growing up:

They turned out really well, actually. Not only were they lovely, they also tasted delicious.

The part that surprises me every time is that when I say something absurd, he verifies it.

No, turning the seat heater to 6 won't melt your butt, but he gave it a go to find out.

And no, you won't freeze your balls off if you lie down in the snow, but darn it, he's going to confirm that statement first.

Eiffel's Looking Up

Blog Instead of being asleep at 07:22 on 26 November 2017, kitt created this:

We went to the Eiffel Tower today. I wanted to go to the top. Jonathan was willing, though not, I suspect, enthusiastic. I can't say that I was particularly enthusiastic, to be honest. The temperature was cold, the winds made its effects colder. The crowds were... well, crowds, which meant lines. We waited in the tickets line, I played Pokemon Go, Jonathan waited patiently. We waited in the elevator line, I played Pokemon Go, Jonathan waited patiently. We made it to the lower level, and met yet another line. I was hungry, Jonathan was patient. We left.

But not before I managed to convince Jonathan to find the center with me.
