Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I'm not always in Denver proper so I've had the chance to experience some great food in other cities and suburbs. Today I'd like to spotlight three restaurants I enjoy in Aurora, Colorado. Misaki at Stanley: Delicious sushi - try their sweet potato tempura roll and their Green Monster roll. OMG. Those two things are…

Last night ended up being quite joyful. I danced to my music while waiting for Elisabeth to pick me up to go to Felfel (she isn't a fan of the heat so she didn't want to walk over). And I made this gif of myself that I quite like. I think I'm really warming up…
Today has been a plant heavy day. Before breakfast I transplanted some of my house plants that needed larger homes and gave my new calathea (that I got from the Botanic Gardens) a hand me down pot of its own. The calathea is doing quite well and is opening up its leaves to show off…
Thursday, Elisabeth celebrated her birthday and so we ate dinner at Watercourse, a tasty vegan restaurant downtown. Brittany came with us per Elisabeth's request and the three of us laughed and enjoyed ourselves the entire evening. We ordered cheesecake for dessert and I surprised Elisabeth with candles and a match that I had brought so…
Sidney and I went spent our Friday night at an Aurora rec center where we learned how to cook Indian food. I'm always on the lookout for new experiences so when Sidney said she was down for going to this with me, I signed us up. This three hour class was not what I expected.…
Yesterday, the girls and I attended a Women's March Huddlers meeting. For those that don't know, the Women's March movement is doing a "10 actions in 100 days" campaign and the second action was to attend a Huddle (a meeting). We had wanted to attend the first one, which was last month, but Elisabeth's back had…
Today at work I attended a three hour stress management class. I practiced a few different relaxation/mindfulness exercises, learned a bit about why we have stress, and had someone listen to me while I talked about my childhood home. I really need to "meditate". I use quotation marks as the exercise I learned today was…
This morning I held a reddit brunch meetup at The English Tea Cup, a British restaurant and store. Although only Josh and Brittany (my two closest friends from reddit) showed up it was still a fun experience. I ordered the cucumber sandwich and potato leek soup. Both were pretty tasty, but especially the soup. We…
The couch arrived today! Gene stayed home from work and took care of everything so when I came home the new couch welcomed me in. I was nervous at work, thinking that something would go wrong and the couch wouldn't work out, but when I walked in the door and saw it I liked it.…
Yesterday Gene and I went to the monthly reddit game night. As per usual, I had a fun time and am excited for going next month. It is amazing how, even if I feel like I'm not really in the mood to go, the moment I get there and start playing games I just feel better.…
