Midnight Ramblings

Well, along with the fantasy football recaps and shit talking cartoons, I'll actually be doing normal posts as well... many of which will showcase random moments I experience with my GF, random moments of my own, and random moments via friends and family...

This post will mark the beginning of a subject I'd like to call MIDNIGHT RAMBLINGS... so without further adieu, Midnight Ramblings #1...

So, last Friday my GF and I went out for date night... it had been a long, stressful week for both of us, so a night out... a nice dinner... some drinks... good times... was much needed by the time we got out of work. Now a little backstory before I get into it... my GF is a foodie... she loves to cook, she loves to talk about food, she loves the food network, Top Chef, Anthony Bourdain (sometimes I think that if Bourdain was to randomly show up on our front porch I wouldn't have a girlfriend anymore)... all in all, she loves everything that has to do with great food and great wine... well, alcohol in general (Note: this will come into play later)... which is a plus for me, cause I like to drink as much as the next guy...

Anyway, seven o'clock rolls around and we're ready to get the crap out of dodge... I pick her up from work and we head into Los Feliz so we can meet our 8:30 PM reservation at Little Dom's. Now, I've been hearing about Little Dom's for about two years now... since my GF and I started dating... and I must say, I love the place... I would recommend it to everyone, anyone, everyone...

We get there, have some cocktails and wine (one of which was a bacon infused brandy or whiskey or something... I wouldn't try it again, but at least I can say I've drank bacon...) and some great food (rice balls... delicious!... you get two large ones in an appetizer plate)... have a great conversation with our waiter who we quickly find out is a stand-up comedian (couldn't really tell if he was funny or not though. Probably should go to a show to find out, but we all know that's not going to happen)... and move on to meet up with some friends at a wine bar down the street.

A glass or two later we say our goodbyes and we're on our way home. My GF is pretty tuned up... far more tuned up than I thought... that is until we got home and got ready for bed.

So here is where the Midnight Ramblings edition of this far too long entry begins...

So we're laying in bed, the lights are out... it's quiet. I'm about to close my eyes, looking forward to enjoying a nice long slumber... one of which won't be interrupted by the shrill shriek of my alarm clock... when from the darkness next to me my GF says:

GF: How many rice balls did you have?

Me: (Beat) One. We each had one.

GF: No we didn't.

Me: Yes we did. There were two on the appetizer plate. One for each of us.

GF: No. 'Cause there were rice balls on the dinner plates and on the desert plate.

Me: What? No there wasn't. What are you talking about? We each had one.

GF: mumble. mumble. mumble.

Me: What? What are you talking about. I have no idea what you're saying.

GF: I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the guy behind you.

Silence.

I still have no idea what she was talking about...
