more than you ever wanted to know

alright, alright, time to update. (and j, i do not understand this reference to candy beans.)
okay. so anya was here last weekend, and we had a wonderful time. you might even say that it was the epitome of awesometatiousness. but then, if you were smart like me, you would remember that awesometatiousness is, in fact, NOT a word, and move on to some other word more webster-worthy.
so, the lê and i had a lovely time of watching friends with friends and cuddling together on the futon. we then went into the city to attend a fall-themed gala at the home of game and porterhouse. the party was reminiscent of the famed "happy chachmas" party that, though much hoped for, never actually materialized. (the league of extraordinary gentlemen, though fabulous in many ways, turned out to be less than extraordinary party planners.) we returned home to my apartment and stayed up until the not-so-wee hours of the morning talking and watching x-files with andrew. we arose on saturday at the crack of one in the afternoon, dawdled about the house for a bit, and headed back to the city to spend the (rest of the) day in oakland. we met up with fulltime, and the four of us went to the spice island tea house (otherwise known as the spicy isle of pleasure), and then to avalon, where (if you are my mother) you will be glad to know that i used the gift certificate to buy a new bag, a scarf, and two hats. upon leaving the store, we ran into the buccholtz-artzes walking down the sidewalk, and had a lovely calvin catch-up party. then we went over to the park by the cathedral of learning and met up with khadija, game, and porterhouse. then we went to kiva-han, one of my favorite coffee shops in the city, walked around some more, and went to see shopgirl at this little theatre in squirrel hill. then we went to bites and brews and missed the times when erin worked there. it was a really good day. i wish anya lived here. hopefully, she will send me some pictures soon, and i will share them with you.
in other news, harold (my mouse) is still at large. gross.
the end.
