Last supper this side of Arlington, and bumper poker [Wed 10]

This is 1PM the next day, I'm finally caught up with posts, and running on schedule after this post. The reason I've not been posting regularly is that I've been having too much fun with friends, and work is super duper busy with our product launch in two weeks. So..yeah. Also the reason why I've been doing a lot of poems, ridiculous clickbait etcetera. I'm writing and that's all what matters.

So here's what I did yesterday, in reverse chronological order, here we go!

The gang got in at sevenish. N brought amazing brownies that she followed from the latest Bon Appetit box-brownie adaptation video. So chewy and salty. She added extra dark chocolate. Rich, luxurious, worthy of great acclaim. The chief 'guest' of the night was me, for I'm going back to PN's place tonight, but friend S was the chief organizer. He single-handedly made six items for last night that made us feel suck slackers. We had bodi saadheko, chicken gravy, chataamari, alu and golbheda ko achars (separately), chiura, and there was the brownies. It was a proper Newari khaaja. It was so good I took half a shot glass of rum, as a respect to newari cuisine and their aila.

We watched Midnight Gospel, which is this trippy philosophical Netflix series, and played it in the background for some time. We put on some music after it became too distracting -- folks were confused by the trippy videos entwined with deep philosophical topics.

After dinner we played poker. We were all feeling a little down and tired, and it was a Tuesday evening after all, so there was not much energy in the gameplay. I got really crappy hands throughout the game and it went in really slow. For the last round though, I got an incredible hand, and got both P and S to go all in, more than quadrupling my pile and ending the game way way before it was supposed to. A left right after as she'd had a long day and still had work to catch up on, and PN stayed around for some time, we talked for the next hour or so about all the things. Specially about that one link I've been sent by like six different people.

PN left around 11ish, I stayed until 1.30, writing watching music videos and generally thinking, pondering. That's how you get the 'whoa maan' philosophical posts like that from yesterday.

Got up at 8, barely dragged myself to work at 9. Had a strange dream that I don't remember, but I've written in my journal they were real strange. Work was super duper busy, things kept getting broke, the ones I worked on and even the ones I didn't and had to be part of fixing those. Nice lunch, don't remember what it was just remember it being good. Work ended super duper late because I was trying to track down a confusing bug, rather unsuccessfully. Cleaned up, cleaned the place, played music for S, and got ready for the guests.
