I have a presentation later today, but I'm so burned out on it I want to finish, go have a stiff drink, and crawl under my covers and sleep. Semester's almost over, and it's taken a lot in terms of energy.
There are many good things, though. On Saturday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yuki_onna and s00j had their reading/concert thingie at Pandemonium Books & Games. So we met up for yummy Indian buffet for lunch and talked about old Soviets and other things.
The performance itself was amazing - I'd not heard SJ sing before, and immediately snapped up three out of her four albums (didn't have the cash for the last one, very sad). I've been addicting people ever since. Tiny skinny white chick, big amazing voice.
Afterward I was going to slink off home to work on my presentation, butnihilistic_kid and buymeaclue had planned Finale for dessert, and Cat and SJ made puppy eyes and I figured "Sure, why not, I could use some chocolate." So off I went to Harvard Square - driving, while everyone else walked. In retrospect, I should have put our names down then and there for a table, but that's what comes of not thinking very hard.
When people arrived we were told it'd be a 45 minute wait. So we went next door to B Good, which had the most amazing fries that I've ever tasted at a fast food joint. I actually really dig their whole model - they grind the beef for their burgers on premises daily, fresh kill delivered chickens, bake their fries, and post all the nutritional information on their signs. All very nice.
Anyway, at this point it's way past my bedtime, but I persevere due to the promised chocolate and more chocolate. Eventually we managed to get two tables of four for eight people after waiting for at least an hour and a half, and they serve me molten chocolate and honest to G-d bittersweet hot chocolate, and it was good. I hazily remember their being a conversation about gaming and writing in there, but at that point I was in sleep/chocolate fog.
Unfortunately, it took them three tries to get the bill broken up right and by the time I got into my car it was past 1AM and I was sad. I got home as soon as I could, though, and crawled in bed and passed out.
And I wrote my powerpoint in an hour the next morning. Hoo-boy I can't wait until this one's over. I'm drinking tea like it's going out of style to wake up enough.
