drink: Amstel Light

what: mexican food with j followed by beer at the neighborhood gay bar

J and i hit our first 'bump' in the road on Sunday night... and it took me a couple of days to put into words what the issue was (for me) and what i wanted to say... so we agreed - mexican food and a conversation... unfortunately, the restaurant (if you call it that) was busier than i've ever seen it before, so it wasnt the best place to have a Serious Conversation... so after a slightly tense dinner, we headed out to find a bar where we could tuck ourselves into a corner and talk...
Enter Candle Bar. I'd only first gone into this place a month or so ago - not even being 100% sure that it was a gay bar before i walked inside (i thought it was, but just wasnt sure...)

and while its kinda a random place and they probably dont have any interest in seeing me in there, i kinda like it... not even sure why, but i do... and they have these weird benches in the back which proved perfect for a private conversation...

beers in hand, we did it. we had a slightly uncomfortable, but necessary, conversation. and wouldnt you know - now everything is good. back to normal - if you can classify anything as normal when its still this new... but either way, back to good.

which is good, given the fact that this one seems to be a keeper - first Crumbs cupcakes on Sunday and tonight - chocolate covered marshmallows from Dylan's Candy Bar...
