Socializing!

 On Thursday evening the ever-delightful sistawendy came over for a visit. We caught up on news of mutual friends, she regaled me with tales of her London trip, I grilled her mercilessly about some of her recent dating activities, and. She gave me very fancy boots for my birthday!! I'm still agog that you did this, Maura, and again, thank you thank you thank you. 

Yesterday was Eldergoths Back On Their Bullshit - minim_calibre kindly hosted so we could be loud in our mockery, so Gwen and  Mal joined us, and we watched what turned out to be not a terrible werewolf romance, but a very bland one. It was tepid and felt very 90s, despite being filmed in 2005. "Highlights" of viewing included:

• The entire room shouting "PARKOUR!" when the werewolf characters were chasing anyone, because well, very PARKOUR.
• Mal being deeply invested in hating the annoying twinky cousin character, who minim described as the love-child of David Spade and Tom Hiddleston.
• Me frothing at the mouth every time the characters didn't add water to their absinth but just downed it like shots.
• The lead actress having one (1) facial expression. "Girl, you are making out with Hugh Dancy. You should have a facial expression!"
• Hugh Dancy looking very pretty when covered with blood and blindfolded. Yes, this is a known thing from gifsets, but seeing it in motion was a bonus.

But all in all, Blood and Chocolate is bland and boring, and not worth it even for nonsense viewing.
