batskeetsLast night was good fun. Did dinner with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
craftyran, numfar, and polysciguy at Taste of India, which was awesome. I ate too much and kind of regretted it, but the leftovers did make for a nice lunch just now. :) There was talk of us doing a day trip today, too, but I woke up too late today to go along. The phone didn't even ring! I guess that's okay, though, because there are things I should probably get done today, but still, grr!! Times like this I almost wish I were a morning person.
I stopped in at Jeremy's poker night after that, and that was fun, too, although I got terrible cards the whole time, and got knocked out fairly early. I didn't feel like I was trying very hard, though, and I didn't feel like bluffing. ::shrug:: It came down to Louie and Ben duking it out at the end, and Ben ended up being the big winner, so now I know who I have to destroy next time, bwahaha!
Anyhoo, I'm going to try and be productive today, and I'll probably play some WoW, and I might go take some photos later.
I haven't done a meme in a while, so here's one!
