day nine - dinner time

Work was not easy today, so I'm seriously glad I made plans with a girlfriend tonight. It was the first time I actually prepared a meal on purpose other than for my parents in this apartment. Twas nice and nerve-wracking at the same time.

Due to our extreme hunger and my unanticipated success in making a healthy version of chicken parm (ad libbed version of an Inspiralized recipe), I wasn't able to snap a picture of my delicious concoction. We ate, we drank, we laughed, we cried -- all in all, a really wonderful evening.

In other news, I was able to get a quick pic of this Brewsday's beer! May I present Blue Point's Pumpkin Ale!

I know... not the best picture yet again. I was in a serious hurry to drink it after today. Luckily, it was pretty darn good. While a rather standard pumpkin ale, it was not over-spiced and was easy down the hatch. I'd probably buy it again.

Instead of procrastinating and ignoring the fact that I have homework again, I'm going to go knock out a few assignments. There was a eternity-long hour today in which I was "disenrolled" (not a word) from my classes today. I was teetering on the edge of a panic attack. Luckily, I think all has been solved.

I may also paint before I go to bed. The feel of fall seems to get the creative juices flowing, and I think I need to do a little soul-searching in preparation for humpday.
