So today is my birthday. Made use of all my birthday presents (thanks mom and dad for the running gear, and thanks Aaron for the reading material.) Came up with a great plan for the day: watch the first Elizabeth movie over lunch (pasta) at home, then later go to this German restaurant at the Sony Center before watching the new Elizabeth movie.
When we got to the Sony Center, though, I decided we should instead go to an American-style sports bar/restaurant, where Deb had chicken fingers and I had a burger. After duck, rabbit, and other German food the past few days–which was great, don’t get me wrong (and included grilling on Christmas Eve)–we were ready for something different. Then, after dinner, instead of going to the movie we decided to wander around the still-open Potsdamer Platz Christmas market and to check out a touristy gift shop before heading home. So much for plans.
We will probably still see a movie tonight, but at home instead. And go to a movie tomorrow, but not Elizabeth. Still, all in all it’s been a great birthday! Best present of all: having Deb here!
Happy birthday Jason!
