caffrey and ragstock, uptown

most notable about the day was going to uptown minneapolis to have lunch with a friend, yemen native. we had sandwiches at caffrey, close to up-down, a gaming place i had been to early in the year. then it was on to walk around the area and we ended up at ragstock, a place i was familiar with from going to college in iowa city. my pal was running late but i didn't mind too much, sat on a bench outside the sandwich place. i was hearing music from the next-door business, wrote down some lyrics and looked it up on my phone. it was lorde's 'white teeth teens'. really like the drumming in it. shocking? shouldn't be, i say this all the time about the music i like- how drumming makes the difference. i have the CD it is on, 'pure heroine', so i listened to it when i got home. back to the time in uptown of course. it is not too often that i get to do anything like this with comedy friends, seeing them away from the clubs that is. so it is no doubt a more substantial friend from the performing circuit than most. even was given a shirt that will go next to the others i have from comedy friends. and it was nice to talk about more than just performing. at ragstock he got an ugly sweater, i got two little buttons. i parked in uptown south of lake street, near a park next to what was either puke or spilled taco salad. when i got home i did laundry. and i watched two more christmas specials, the grinch and then charlie brown. late in the evening i went to church for christmas eve services. it will be memorable as the service was paused during an anthem by the choir as a member of the choir fainted, so the EMS was called. she was fine but she left to get checked at the hospital, and the service resumed. during my walks i found 11 cents.
