Woe to the Weremonkey

Very disappointed that I missed out on getting tickets to the Neil Gaiman event on December 14th in Decatur with Agnes Scott College and Little Shop of Stories.

Thanksgiving 2009

We ate with Fun Lisa and her family in Suwanee. It is a family of aesthetics and comedians so we were entertained and well fed. MonsterMustDie actually cooked sweet potatoes today. He finally ate some of those poison orange vegetables. Of course, it was wrapped in meat. He found a way to prepare them in Mark Bitman's column in the NY Times - parboiled wedges wrapped in prosciuto with fresh sage leaves and finished by roasting in the oven with a bit of olive oil and a pinch salt. So that was our contribution to a dinner that included roast turkey & dressing, ham, brussel sprouts, fresh cranberry-orange relish, and traditional green bean casserole. Desert was pumpkin pie and Lisa's bourbon pecan pie.

uninspired

I spent all day being cold, sluggish, moping around the house.
Must get up and get active tomorrow.
Tuesday is the last day of MonsterMustDie's two-day work week before Thanksgiving.
I've done nothing but watch Venture Brothers on DVD and downloaded videos today, while eating snacks with more calories than nutritional value.

Goth Picnic 2009

The Annual Goth Picnic at Oakland Cemetery was awesome. The beautiful weather made for a very long picnic this year and nearly everyone stayed til it was dark. Some people were there a bit after sundown, still cleaning up and talking with friends they'd not spent time with in a while.

In the absence of Kisa Bastet, I brought coffee this year, which was hardly touched. Previous, much colder picnic days have seen a lot of coffee and hot beverage consumption. This year, there was more wine and beer consumed - which also led to more painful Mondays this year. One housemate in particular could not rationalize how he got so drunk by the end of the day when I drove him home, where he crawled into bed and I went back out to join the Gillimonster and her inebriated hubby for dinner.

lunch date

I had a very nice, long long overdue lunch with J.Paul today. We met at Ru Sans L5P, which has an excellent $9 lunch buffet. Once we started catching up, there was not enough time to exchange information and we agreed to do this again in three weeks (or there abouts).

Came home. Had leftover munchies, cheese, baguette,strawberries for dinner with red wine. Watched Bourdain in Australia.

It might be officially 9PM but it feels like 10.

Bedtime now.
