The last couple of days I've been unable to post because I was at a conference. In between I dropped by my parent's place which I try to do every chance I get. It's tough watching them get older. When I returned to NYC I ran over to Megu East (in the Trump World Tower which is home to Derek Jeter & Hideki Matsui), that's right, the other Megu restaurant and I was looking forward to the kobe beef again, served on a hot stone. Apparently Megu flys in the sushi twice a week from a particular port in Japan and the gal across the table from me was Japanese so I assumed she was telling me the truth with this one fact. In between the cocktails (Megu Cosmo) and dessert was some concotion of kobe meatballs, (nut) crusted asparagus, kobe beef (mmmmmm!) and sushi. The problem that has been reoccurring is the drinking. I started the cocktail hour with the Megu Cosmo (a little girly) and then proceeded to rotate among glasses of white wine, red wine and saki. The next thing I know it, the Japanese girl who was sitting at my table invited herself to my birthday party which hasn't been planned nor will be planned b/c I don't do parties. In addition, she said she'd be my date for my holiday party which will really piss off AirSuz who was my date from last year. Btw, our holiday party was awesome! The problem with my drinking is that I'll say yes to mostly anything and if you've read previous posts, if the girl is attractive then I'll let loose a little. It didn't help that I had after dinner drinks with her next door at the World Bar. As I write this, I remember that I'm supposed to email her because she has some lounge/club suggestions. She's a nice gal who's dated a couple of Korean guys but this was a work dinner and that doesn't mix with dating. Also, she's 8 years my junior which I clearly expressed but she responded with "I've hung out with 40 year olds". This isn't good because my coworker who hosted this thing will be pissed off if she gets the impression that I hit on her clients which could cause work pains for her ultimately if I don't appropriately navigate out of this situation. My other coworker who I confide in rebuked me this morning for my actions last night -- don't hit on clients! Interestingly, she gave me the cold shoulder at the beginnig during cocktail hour and it ended up the opposite.
