Chill(y/i)

It's cold. I actually had to put on socks today, that's how cold it was. What the hell? I want shorts weather to come back! Luckily, I'll have it in less than a week! Woot!

Because it's cold, I decided to make some chili, and I have to say, I'm excited. From what I've tasted, it's going to be pretty good. It's my first time making chili for myself, and I was kinda like that Muppet cook, just throwing things in. I think there's a little too much tomato paste, but oh well.

Last night I had dinner with James. I have to say, I really enjoy having a friend that is a chef. He made Lamb and roasted potatoes. Holy crap, it was good, and he even followed up with dessert! We mostly talked about how we got together with our respective girlfriends, and how our relationships are at the moment. Mostly, we wished that we could see our girlfriends more, and just held each other in consolation... er, wait. Not that very last part. We also played chess. I hadn't played in about 10 years, and he killed me the first game. The second game I won, but he told me I'd had like 3 opportunities to checkmate him prior to when i actually did... oh well.

I have a lot of stuff to do this weekend, but so much more I want to do, like break through the block on my second novel. I've been reading fantasy stuff again, and it always gets me itching to write. We'll see what I can work out.
