Grass and Sky

Wow, what happened to spring? It's gone all extra warm and humid. Ugh!

Despite my plans to go straight home from work last night and completely crash, I ended up going out and having fun with the guys after all. All this due to one missing bus. For some unfathomable reason, the 6:28 bus goes missing with alarming frequency, leaving all us poor schmoes sitting at the bus stop waiting endlessly, watching in frustration as bus after bus that isn't ours drives by. Yesterday, to add to the indignity, there was a really intense sun hitting us full-on.

By 6:40 I knew I'd be waiting for a while, and soon thereafter I started wondering if I'd see the guys driving by to eat at Hunan Kitchen. Sure enough, a few minutes later a car pulls up at the red light with two familiar profiles in it. At that point, I decided I might as well join them, since I was already there and all.

It was a pretty good sized group, with mamoulian, cajun, rabbitchild, jdecay and C, who is apparently holding out and refusing to go the lj route. I had the Mango Chicken. It was a lovely presentation, and tasted not too bad. It's not my favorite menu item there, but I'm trying to give my stomach a break so I opted not to get the Black Pepper Beef, which is my all-time favorite Hunan meal.

I really was tired and had trouble following the conversation for the most part, but I'm glad I met up with them, since it's going to be mid-August before I get another chance to hang out on a Wednesday evening.

Apparently a new rule has been created whereby an person can be shenned while they are standing right there. I know it was you, mamoulian, so don't try to play innocent. You got tired of me waiting to forget to say 'no shens' and went ahead and shenned me anyway. :p

In other news, I didn't manage to stay up long enough to watch Lost last night. :( I got home a little after nine and was going to wait until it was done taping at ten, but ended up in bed before then. It sucks being so frickin' exhausted all the time. Oh well, delayed pleasure just means I still have it to look forward to.

Tonight I get to clean the house. Tomorrow I leave. Feelings are very mixed right now.

It's winter! Who knew? ( Work talk -- PG-B (boring) )

( Comics night )

Merry has arrived. He is exploring my desk at the moment, and apparently it's not to his liking. He says that it's worse than Isengard after the Ents had at it. Hmmm, I think it might be time to tidy it up a bit. He's a bit lonely, as well. Eowyn is here and he's quite happy about that, but he really wants Pippin. I saw the Pipster on Amazon the other day, and I may have to buy rescue him.

I just got home from the Comics night. I'm going to have to hone up on my filthy if I want to stay in the group. Last week I filthied with the best of them, but this week, I was disgustingly daycare-ish. I did have the sense, at least, to keep my mouth shut and not speak the daycare speak, but it thoroughly prevented me from being even a little bit amusing or entertaining. Luckily, eve11 was in good form so at least one of the girls made a good showing, lol.

Now, off to watch Lost.
