the bean game and stuff

[sarea]

Happy belated birthday to ceilidh! Sorry I'm lame. And late.

Nearly fell asleep on my way to work. Again. I had to slap myself a couple of times to stay awake. This has definitely been the most annoying part of the new house -- the new commute. I generally am pretty tired/sleepy in the mornings, but at least before I was able to get to work pretty quick, before the lulling motions of the car would make me too sleepy. Now it takes me soooo long to get to work, and I just get sleepier and sleepier as the commute goes on. It's no good for anyone, I tell you.

Had tons of fun w/ the usual suspects last night, plus romanticalgirl, who introduced us to the bean game. I love the bean game. It's soooo fun. Laura, what were the names of those other games you mentioned last night? I might want to just order a bunch of them at once, to save on shipping. :D Oh, but speaking of Laura, she's got me reading something other than Draco/Ginny! *GASP*, you say. I know, it's shocking. See, I've always held a small, guilty interest in Hermione/Weasley twin, and always wanted to read a story that took their relationship from beginning to end while staying reasonably close to canon (meaning Ron and R/Hr would have to be dealt with). I never found any such story, until Laura told me about Red Herring, a Fred/Hermione story she wrote that does just that! Squee! I'm majorly digging it so far. But don't worry, my OTP remains unshaken and unstirred.

Have you ever had Olympic Mountain ice cream? It's seriously the best ice cream ever -- especially their pumpkin. You can only get it in restaurants here -- unless you're me, in which case you call the headquarters of their small little outfit and agree to meet their delivery truck at one of their delivery locations so you can pick up the gallon of pumpkin pie, and quarts of vanilla and chocolate ice cream that you pleaded with them to let you order. OH YES THERE WILL BE ICE CREAM TONIGHT.

Tonight The Other Ones and I are probably going to go see The Aristocrats and play more of the bean game. Then tomorrow they go home. :(

Also, there was a freak storm last night, and the fan in the guest bathroom started to leak. I am very, very worried about this, so I'm trying not to think about it too much. But every time I remember, it's like this ball of dread in my stomach. It's so a sign of impending doom, aka a more serious problem. :((

I hope you baked yourself one of your awesome cakes. Of course, a cake shaped like Harry and Ron alone in the Room of Requirement might provoke some questions.

Well, no I didn't, but Joe is taking me out for Japanese this weekend, so that makes up for it. :D
