Lying Fallow

It was a largely quiet day, with the exception of going out to a Thai restaurant with my roommate and a mutual acquaintance who is leaving for a few months. I would have preferred a different place. I didn't care for my food or the ambiance in the least the last time I had been there, and had no rational reason to expect a different experience this time. The conversation was nice, though, so it was a pleasant outing.
