Go on 15 dates with Robert

We went on our 8th date this past weekend. First, we went to a matinee of the new movie Everything Must Go, with Will Ferrell. It was good! We both really liked it, and recommend it. And we shared Sour Patch Kids I smuggled in. Yum.

For dinner we tried a Thai restaurant by our house for the first time, called Tup Tim. It's a weird looking building, as it used to be a Long John Silvers, and they painted it in primary colors. We'd heard mixed reviews about the restaurant (particularly from Mary and John, one of whom said it was good and one whom said "don't even fuck with Tup Tim", and they ate there together), so we thought we should see for ourselves. It was fine, but I suppose we were a bit underwhelmed. It's hard for much to compare to the wonderful Thai restaurants we had in Marquette (Thai House and Rice Paddy). The food was good, Thai is almost always delicious. But we went a bit on the early side, so we were the first there for dinner, and when more groups of people came in, they kept sitting them all around us....They had a whole restaurant open, and they kept sitting everyone next to each other. Not a huge fan of that, especially when one of the groups contained a grumpy 11-year-old.

All in all, it was a good date. It always is, spending time with my guy.
