A Day in Omaha

We spent one full day just hanging around in Omaha.  J and C had to go to work, so Chris, Tomko and I were just hanging around and vegging out on the internet for a while.  Eventually, Tomko and I got hungry and we went on a walking expedition to Indian place with take-out that C had recommended.  The directions that C had left for us on the kitchen counter were probably entirely correct, but we somehow got lost several times and had to ask a wandering meth-head where we were going.

We ordered tasty food from an adorable south Asian girl who couldn't've been more than thirteen.  She warned Tomko that his meal would be spicy.  Tomko has epic spicy tolerance, so this was not concerning.  (Even I could eat the resultant meal without flinching, so it couldn't be that hot.

We hung around outside the restaurant, even though it was pretty hot, because it seemed to be pretty crowded inside.  Tomko brought me a mango lassi from inside the place for us to drink while we were waiting.  Sure enough, shortly after I had sucked the final dregs of mango, the girl appeared again for us to give her money so she could bring us our food.  We ate some food in the park, then went back to J and C's house and hung around until they got back.

We tried to watch some TV options.  Hell's Kitchen was regarded quite skeptically by C and Chris, and then we put on Jurassic Park - Rifftrax Version. This was more successful, except that J found World of Warcraft more interesting than us, then C went to bed, and then Mary Tully gave me a call with the disasterous news that Patience had broken down!

Mary and I talked until well after the movie was over. The boys went to bed, and then so did I, too. There is driving to be done!
