birthday

 i spent the morning and afternoon with korrina. she had dropped her phone and i suggested getting it fixed at the samsung store.

 unfortunately, unbeknownst to us, it was a refurbished phone and they wouldn't touch it. (she had received it from my provider's insurance company to replace a broken phone in march.) we spent a good hour in the starbucks on greenwich avenue speaking to credo mobile and trying to get them to replace it. since they wouldn't, she decided to change plans and is now with verizon on brian's dad's plan, but with a separate account for herself which she can sign into and pay on her own.

 afterwards, she treated me to birthday hors d'oeuvres at doma. it was a beautiful day and it felt so peaceful sitting outside their restaurant with a perfect breeze. we had a pretzel and weisswurst and pickles with a pale ale. doma has delicious german sausage. it was really the nicest time.

 i wasn't all that hungry in the evening when greg was ready for dinner, but he wanted to go out so i obliged and picked frankie's on hudson street. i made him wait an hour and sit outside with me (there was a waiting list for the outdoor tables, so we moved the car while waiting).

even though i wasn't that hungry i managed to eat a huge piece of eggplant parmagiana. frankie's has such good food that it tasted just like something my aunt mary or my mom would make.

 we had the most beautiful view of the moon over the white horse tavern.
