2015 October 23

I stopped off at Food Dynasty to get peanuts, boneless pork cutlets (as I feel funny calling them chops), chicken thighs, a nice hunk (fillet) of salmon and a club card application.

Photos of great buns on the 6.

Gotham Atheists’ Drinking with Atheists at Jo B.’s apartment (G+). Lee answered the door and manned the grill all night. Rich wore a black paisley waistcoat literally in my honor, and I’m stupid for not having photographed it. (Perhaps it’s in Mike’s photos.) When asked what costume she would wear to Rich’s Halloween party the following Friday, Veena, for whom being Indian touches every aspect of her life, said she would come as an Indian. (I corrected her saying it should be “Native American.”) Joe B. was talking about language and culture a lot and acknowledged to others my being informed on those topics as well. {…} There was a Jewish woman there named June (Yosefa) who had had a Persian boyfriend who called her “June jūn.” {…} I loved Faisal’s squawking laugh. He seemed to mistakenly think Andrew was angry when they talked. John would occasionally speak to me in Persian that I didn’t understand.
