I’ll tell you Sup. My happiness!
Wait, lemme eat this cake.
Okay. Can’t. Eat. Icing. Phew!
You see, after the weird post-holiday Thurmonday, I got moody — moodier. It rained all day on that Thurmonday and while I love rain, it thundered in my hands and arms and I didn’t love that. Barometric pressure done fell out, I reckon.
Friday I woke up to a bright blue sky and no more thunderbones, so initially I was happy. I don’t know where my happy went, back to Taken For Granted Land, I guess, because it slowly faded without any knowable reason. I had this sorta dread feeling from nowhere. Maybe too much coffee? The only thing I could think of was that I had things to do after work and I don’t usually do that on Friday, but y’all, the things were happy things! Pick up dry cleaning, pick up pizza, go see Marian — Why on earth would any of that bring me down? Silly. No reason for mood. Bleh.
I left work, I picked up the stuff, went home, ate a slice of pizza, put on my BatCat tee and some sneakers, and went off to see Marian. Oh, right, I stopped for a double-double. Oh woe is me.
I walked into the con, and there was Marian, and Amazing, her daughter is Amazing, and I was happy and glad I was finally there, and I thought, well this is grand, maybe my mood was impatience?
Then Marian said I had to see a fing, so she led me and led me and
HOLY HAPPENSTANCE, IT WAS THE BATMOBILE!
Yes, I like Batman. I love Batman. Given my propensity to grab the ass of the life-size Batman figure at Think Geek, I may have feelings for Batman. Maybe that’s more about Christian Bale.
Anyway, I don’t like talking about my love for Batman, because I don’t love all the comic things and I don’t wish to engage in conversations in which I compare and contrast Batman with other superdudes, but c’mon, there’s no one like Batman!
He doesn’t even have superpowers! He’s just awesome!
And Lego Batman? Oh Em Gee Heart Heart Heart!
Like I said, I was wearin my BatCat tee-shirt and everything! And there was the Batmobile!
So I sat in the batmobile, giddy as all get out, and I used the batphone and the man who built the batmobile took my picture and YAY ME!
I also met a man who looks just like George Lucas, but he said he wasn’t George Lucas, which is probably exactly what George Lucas would say if he was at a lil con in Indy.
Then, after that, I went home and made a grocery list and I went to the goddamned grocery store where I RAN INTO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE! We had a nice long chat right there in the aisle.
Well, I tell you Sup; You never know what kinda wonders could be comin after a Bleh day!

A friend who now lives in Vermont, and whom I won’t see much in person once we move to California, called on a one day stopover (we met in NJ, and she still has a house here), and had one of those great catch up as much as you can in two hours visits. My first writing partner, and we have so many things in common (and so many not) that we are a great mix.

Me too, but i find too much sugar in things sometimes. My drug of choice is chocolate lately, so I want pure chocolate, no additives except a little sugar and whatever other good stuff they may put in so it doesn’t fall into powder, nothing that will distract from the good taste. Good fat is encouraged to be an additive though!

Have you tried the 92% stuff? I looked at it tonight and thought of this comment. The darkest I’ve had is 70-somethin and it’s very good. I don’t know if I’d like any less sweet, but I might will try it sometime.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I’ve tried 85 and that is good on its own in some brands like Green&Black and some small-batch companies. 70 is the lowest I go voluntarily usually, although I have been combining some lately in the sense of two small pieces of chocolate in my mouth at once. I thought I would be a fan of the very dark, but have had some 85s and above that just tasted like baking chocolate, while some were good on their own–to me it depends on them being organic, and who makes them. There is a company called AlterEco that makes nice 70 and above which I enjoy, and yet their 85 did nothing for me.
