Don'tcha just hate it when...

lance_sibley... you stay home to get some overdue work done, only to realize after it's too late to do anything about it that the meeting you thought you had to discuss said work can't possibly be on the date you thought it was?
And the horrible sentence structure above is just a symptom of my frying my brain over the past three hours trying to get this stuff done. And I haven't even had anything to drink (which may be the problem).
Meh, it's all good. I had sushi with Ambrose tonight - the dish called "Ken's Special Dragon" was quite tasty. (No,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evil_admiral, you may not go there. :P ) If only I could remember what was in it... I should have picked up one of their take-out menus on the way out. I know that shrimp tempura was involved. The one with mango in it was quite nice, too. I may be getting marginally more adept with chopsticks, though Ambrose was still amused watching me trying to eat my avocado salad. (Avocado is slippery, dammit.)
And he loved his autographed picture of Ellen Muth, though I think he knew that that was his gift from Dragon*Con. After all, since I had gotten her to leave him a voicemail (which he still has saved on his cellphone - awwww :) ), it only stands to reason that I would also have gotten him an autographed photo. (The size of the envelope I gave him might have been a giveaway too.) But that didn't prevent him from liking it.
After dinner, we wandered into a candy store called Sugar Mountain just down the street from the restaurant to have a look around. I never saw so many old board games and record covers in one place before - they even had the cover for the Bay City Rollers' first album up on the wall, along with an apparently original Star Wars lunchbox and the box for the board game "Yoda, Jedi Master" (if I'm remembering the name correctly). The weirdest thing in there, though? Good 'N' Plenty flavoured lip balm. That was even weirder than the Strawberry Pop Tart flavoured lip balm, or the Butterfinger flavoured lip balm, or the Hot Tamales flavoured lip balm, or the Cinnabon flavoured lip balm, or the several other candy-flavoured lip balms they had. Yes, that was even weirder than the Cyndi Lauper trading cards...
Anyhow, I got home around 11:30 (Ambrose had to head home, as his parents are coming over in the morning) and thought about going out for a drink or two, but then I "remembered" that I had to get this work finished. Only I didn't. And now I'm back where I started...
