Dinner at Derek's and whatnot...

_decibel_ was kind enough to invite me and
cincycub over for dinner with him and his honey Chris. Derek is a damn good cook, I was impressed. We settled down to watch a DVR'd Justice League Unlimited followed by the first full hour of American Idol I've ever seen. I'm a freak, I know. I'm still pulling for Bo Bice, I just think he's consistently better. It's not like they'll be a loser in this anyway as I'm sure both will get recording contracts.
Afterward, we had Graeter's ice cream (or as I refer to it "Orgasmic Ice Cream") and watched the season finale of House MD. It's a really good drama, with some great humor, but some gritty situations. The lead is Hugh Laurie, a British actor I know better from the BBC Blackadder series, but probably better known as the dad in Stuart Little. He does a great American accent. It is so good, you know it's going to get canceled.
I came home to a phone message from
bookish_cub, so we chatted for a bit while I was ironing clothes for work the next day. Erich is a sweet guy. I look forward to a visit from him outside the airport someday.
Sigh.. okay.. back to the grindstone I call work...

Leigh Ann told me about House when it first started. Haven't missed an episode since, until last night. Completely forgot about it. I always watch it after Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls wasn't on last night, so I didn't even turn the TV on.

I like how they're adding all of the DCU characters in the series, but I admit I love the original seven most. I did like how they introduced Green Arrow to Black Canary though. What a great couple they make.

And whatever you cook will be awesome, I'm sure ;)
I can tolerate a lot ...

(besides, UDF has wicked vanilla shakes)

Date: 2005-05-26 10:45 pm (UTC)Graeter's has expanded into Lexington? How weird is that? When we lived in Hyde Park oh-so-many-moons-ago, I remember them when they were just local to Cincinnati (and being a block off the square having one in walking distance). Those were the days. Good grief, now I want ice cream ... from Graeter's! ARGH! *lol*
