India Queen

Last night, my housemate, my partner, and two friends ordered out Indian food using the restaurant's web site:

It was a shambles. Upon placing the order, which totalled around $80, the site said they would call in about 15 minutes to confirm the order. The only call we got was from my partner, who was to pick up the food on his way home.

Guess which Indian restaurant in our area has Windows? Fucking Gates...

Paul took our entire order over the phone, and fought Dartmouth Homecoming weekend traffic and parking, and still managed to get our dinner home while it was hot. Whatta man!

The food was better than sex. I'd screwed up on the phone, and had ordered everyone's entrees waaay hotter than was necessary. It was better than sex. Five women and one man, sitting around a table, gorging themselves, groping for anything to bring down the burn, groaning, sniffling...better than sex. Or, at least the food equivalent.

I believe we'll be frequenting the place frequently.

Question regarding ethics

What's the difference between someone who is following his own path and living his own authority, and someone who for the past year has been living with blinders on and acting like an irresponsible asshole?

Is it done? Really? I hope so. I hope resolution has been reached, even if it's not what he's envisioned. I truly hope he doesn't carry this into November or the rest of his life. It doesn't, in my estimation, deserve his attention any further. His wife does. His son does. His house does. His friends do. His Work and work do. I do.

It's hard watching someone you love waste their time. It's hard enough to watch for a year - I know I don't have it in me to tolerate this anymore, especially not after reading his email saying that it was over. It really had better be, or he'd better not be surprised at how much he's already lost, or what he will lose.

He says I don't have cause to worry. I hope I don't.
