I had one of the better days I've had in
years.
Saw Sherlock Holmes II again in theaters with my queer friend Daisy, having had a movie night for the first one a couple days prior, who squeed just as much as I did in all the right parts, covered his mouth because he was so happy and shocked to get to see the things he did in a mainstream movie, and is also rooting for a 3rd-movie kiss. Our friend M. bought us a surprise bag of jumbo popcorn, too, and we all ate the tangerines we smuggled into the theater; Aisy, Daisy's brother, supplied a powerful affection for Irene Adler. Then we went home and had a huge dinner:
Vietnamese-style rice porridge with red and green home-made kimchee on top plus pickled garlic cloves (with turkey bits and entire preserved anchovies for those who wanted them), potato salad, paratha with orange and elderflower marmalade, black Arabian tea with sweetened condensed milk, and a key lime pie with whipped cream and a crumb crust.
Dinner was pretty dang eclectic, because we were four hungry guys and we thought we'd made way too little porridge for ourselves and my friends' parents, so we made a bunch of weird things with whatever we could find to eat. Then it turned out that we had made porridge for probably 10 people rather than 5, so we just had a totally bizarre dinner with leftovers for a long time.
It was good, though. Really good. Fabulous. Delicious.
Then Daisy and I walked around for an hour or so outside squeeing and working off that huge dinner, and he now really, really wants to know about the more "interesting" scenes from Metal Gear Solid, because he thinks the gay overtones sound awesome and cute. I'm going to send him links to the Chip and Ironicus LPs. The other two dudes mostly sat inside playing with their computers and keeping warm; the one time when M came with us, we ended up deciding that we had to take some fashionable pictures of Daisy with my fab new purple butterfly umbrella, because M is really good at photos and the umbrella is going to be really, really cute with Daisy.
After that, we played a
Korean board game, which was really fun. We ended up shouting a lot and making a lot of noise, especially when Daisy won (we'd been trying to keep him from winning for most of the game, and there was a huge amount of semi-dishonest kibitzing involved).
Then we all had more pie and tea. Daisy, Aisy (Daisy's annoying younger brother), and M walked me home. I hugged Daisy and M, and Aisy and I poked each other, play-fought, and made silly faces to say goodbye. We're probably going to get together to play Settlers of Cataan and see the Ghibli Earthsea movie, and take all those photos, tomorrow.
I'm so happy. It was really good.
