odd weekend. Odder Monday

[whiskyinmind]

I am off the wagon, officially. I got more than a li'l drunk on Friday and fell asleep watching HGttG on Paramount 2. Woke up halfway through the repeat of the first episode after falling asleep midway through the third. That was decidedly odd.

Spent all day Saturday not being talked to by my nephew (and neice 'cause she's at the stage where she copies everything her big brother does) and zoning out. Ate at MacDonalds which I hate. Had more beer and watched SPN.

Sunday... spent most of the morning (and a good deal of the afternoon) collecting and burning a twenty track compilation CD which'll be the soundtrack for NaNoWriMo this year.. and drinking beer. Realised about seven o'clock that the only thing I'd actually eaten all weekend was the Grilled Vegie Melt Deli Sandwich at McD's and stuck some Spring rolls in the oven. Fell asleep and woke up to realise that the clocks had gone back on Sunday morning. Reset my alarm and fell asleep again.

My alarm didn't go off this morning. I have no idea why, I probably screwed it up when I reset the times but it seems okay.

So I have not had breakfast, I've had very little to eat all weekend and I'm kinda hungover.

Oh, and I forgot my meds this morning.

My head is going to explode.

Haven't seen Torchwood yet by the way - I think it should have taped last night, but going on the alarm clock fiasco I have no idea if it did or not. Guess I'll find out tonight, if I manage to make it home without turning into a short-lived character in a remake of Scanners...

eta it's bad enough that there's no coffee worth drinking in this place, but there's no damn sugar either... I can't even prop myself up with caffeine now. Oh good grief I am going to be such a cow by this afternoon...

Yup. This weekend was a complete waste of time - we should totally get another, right now to compensate for the lack of a decent one.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

a whole weekend again? Not sure I could handle that... all that time, what would I do with myself? (Y'know, other than writing the OFWI2 fic, finishing the 100days100icons icons, helping sis with her college stuff...)

BTW, I'm not making a Jack O'Lantern for the office. Can't be arsed right now.

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

Nope. Quite right. And I'm not bringing mine in, cos it's feckin' huge.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Mind = gutter.

*shakes head*

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

If it weren't for the gutter, your mind would be homeless...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

True.

And also

*back! Evil shellfish spawn of Satan!*

(she said with sushi sitting on her desk...)

*cough*hypocrite*cough*

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

:p

Never said I was perfect. Just kinda assumed everyone would see that..

T?

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

...says she who is never wrong.

Aha...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

I am never wrong.

Sometimes what is fact might be slightly beside where I'm currently positioned, but that doesn't make me not right.

And you never answered. T?

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

I.

Oh, and speaking to the converted, cos that sounds suspiciously close to the definition of a "Matt Fact"...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

zis mean I have to stand up now? *sigh*

I mean, your desk is at least ten steps away...

Heh! And also - being hypocritical doesn't mean I'm wrong, just that I was being a little bit of a hypocrite.

Mmmmm sushi....

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

Mmm... Lobster.

♪♫ What's that com-ing over the hill,
Is it a Lobster, is it a Lobster...♫♪

I'm going to do a starter with lobster, green salad and dipping sauces. What do you reckon I should use as the sauces?

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Thai red chilli (sweet), Hoi Sin (although that might be a little strong), something Wasabi based maybe and then of course your bog-standard mayo. Maybe with some lemongrass and tarragon in the mayo to give it something extra.

Man, I'm hungry again now!

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

Nifty.

I was thinking about doing a garlic mayo, or possibly an aïoli. And of course some kind of thousand-island dressing derivative. Cos it's seafood, and folk'll expect it.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Might be better with dill rather than tarragon actually, I usually have taragon & lemongrass with chicken rather than seafood. No reason why it wouldn't work.

I kinda hate 1000 island dressing, I always throw in pepper sauce 'cause it's too blank otherwise.

What's it for anyway?

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

I cheat with thousand island. Probably not the right way to make it at all, but I use: mayo, greek yoghurt, paprika, dill, lemon juice, black pepper, tomato purée, oregano and a teensy bit of salt.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

Sounds about right to me actually - although using both mayo and yoghurt seems a bit much in a way.

I'd tend to use cayenne rather than paprike and maybe throw in some dead-rotted-fish sauce as well. :)

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

Mmm.... dead rotted fish sauce...

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

*g*

*sing song voice* we broke my LJ, we broke my LJ *stops singing*

wtf is it with acetates today?!

And mmmm dead-rotted-fish-sauce. Nothing better than a splash of that on grilled cheese on toast...

[monkey-matt.livejournal.com]

(think we should tell everyone what stinky-dead-rotted-fish-sauce is, or will they all be able to guess)

I vote we ban acetates.

[whiskyinmind.livejournal.com]

(nah, I think we should just leave it to their imagination. *g*)

So long as I don't have to do the acetates I'm fine with it. I just find it dead funny that T is the only one who actually follows the protocol and is sending you guys to do it for him. Hee!
