No sex on the beach, and I'm afraid we have no slippery nipples.

cath_er_ine had a cocktail party.  I mixed drinks (well, some of them - Vix let me be the bartender despite lack of competence).  I made myself a glass of green!  It was rather fun. There's always a slight problem with this sort of thing that everyone who's actually likely to be interested lives so far apart so there's always the accommodation/travel issue, but we managed.  Attempted to make a snowball but there was no lemonade.  Attempted to make some lemonade, and had some success but it wasn't really a proper snowball.  It did have an essence of lemon cheescake about it.  Created another cocktail based off rum, pineapple and lime, which ended up tasting of Lemon Meringue pie. 

I can't help feeling we're just pretending to be adults though.  This is just dressing up in a cocktail party costume, for the novelty.  Doesn't really matter.  We had fun.  And I got to use my circuit-board cufflinks.  Would have been nice to have more ingredients but enough ingrediants to make everything is horribly expensive.  I wonder if anyone makes a set of smallish bottles of the essentials.

lemming_man drove under guidance of omylouse.  He seemed to enjoy this. 

I would have slept in the lemming's spare room, except he hasn't go one.  He does have a garden though and I have a tent.  It's really quite comfy.  Getting a little cold though. 

Busy weekend.

It's actually been pretty hectic this weekend. 

Did the cocktail party.  This involved doing the essential stuff like stage 1 of laundry, and expenses and stuff before leaving.  Had to leave fairly early.  Also had to pick up a bottle of Creme De Menthe.  aside from the detour this also meant i had to actually struggle through the horror that is Sainsbury's on a Saturday.  And was delayed further by the security device malfunctioning. 

Kept forgetting odds and sods so kept wanting to return.  Driving back home took up rather more of the day than I would have liked. 

Also had to squeeze in a visit to my parents' place because I'd bought a printer and had it delivered there.  They weren't answering their phones!  Old people and technology, honestly... 

I was somewhat annoyed to find that it had a symbol saying it had no USB cable in the box.  Then slightly annoyed to find that it actually did have after I bought one (although the 5 metre cable I have is a lot more useful than the 1,8M one it came with).  Had to get that working...  Actually a lot less stress than the most recent HP printer I tried to install but why must *everything* run something in the system tray!?  Will have to sort something out there.

Needed to do another pile of computer stuff.  Conversion of some files, transferring from Angelus (desktop) to Chianna (netbook).  muych easier since I learned abut sync tools.

Then there was the Geekest Link at the Caroline of Brunswick.  Shame I know nothing about John Carpenter films, horror movie soundtracks, or horror video games.  And couldn't remember my Bufffy lore well enough...  We did abysmally.   Wish some other people could come to Brighton on a First Sunday Of The Month evening for a sci-fi themed pub quiz.  I know nothing of modern video games!
