and I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

today? yeah. you can repeat days like this.

still riding high from dfc last night. still don't have the energy to recap it. ;p

had dinner tonight at the restaurant that is catering our christmas employee appreciation party and OH. MY. GOD. I'm a little worried that this food is going to be wasted on the hot wings and beer crowd that I work with (not that hot wings and beer aren't awesome.) but this food. GOD. we met with the chef (some day I will post about how every chef I've ever known has the same basic personality and how it all comes down to you have to be a little bit of a douche to really cut it in that world) and he basically will do anything we ask. he was appropriately appalled when the woman I was with suggested the aforementioned hot wings. I nixed that idea because seriously this is not the kind of venue for that kind of food. one of the meals I sampled was a 10 oz pork porterhouse with triple sec marinated sun-dried cherry sauce. I WANT TO MARRY THIS PIECE OF PORK. except I can't because it's currently in my belly. we also sampled a beef dish and a salmon dish and he gave us some ideas for chicken and vegetarian. we have to somehow narrow it down to only two choices which is going to be VERY HARD. and then there was also appetizers (seared ahi and mussels SO GOOD OMG) and then dessert which. they have this one which is a white chocolate mousse/cake thing with passion fruit and holy crap! I'm going to cheat on that pork dish with this dessert. I was kind of wary of being on the planning committee for this party but now I'm SO HAPPY OMG. FOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

then I rolled my fat and happy self home and watched last night's SYTYCD. ( cut for dance-y dance-y spoilers )

and now I need to read some of the 9 bajillion fic tabs I have open right now. oh startrekbigbang. ♥
