Lame town

So tonight I went out for dinner and coffee with Jess, my phone dying and not being able to receive calls, I missed an invitation to go out pubbing. By the time I got home, not late by any standards, I had missed a potential ride. Leaving my options at a) get a cab or b) spend 45 minutes navigating some buses. Neither appealing. So I spent the night in with a glass of wine and South Park. It just upset me, because I would have loved to go out and meet some people, but alas, I was stuck here, trapped by the lameness of the city. Which got me thinking, that the reason all the bars here are upscale is because the people who frequent them need to be able to afford to go out. Going out here requires either a car, friends with cars, or cabbing (unless you want to spend a chunk of time on public transit). If you have none of these things, and don't have the desire to drop anywhere from $20 to $40 on cab rides, there's no party for you.

So no party for me, its 1am and I'm hoping that my weekend works out as planned. On the bright side, cute coffee guy and I are on speaking terms, exchanging the traditional 'hey how's it going' and 'see ya', as well as several prolonged stares as he passed by our table on his way in and out the door for his break. Ah cute coffee guy, you will be in my dreams tonight.
