what a catch

hnix was my date to the Vice-Chancellors graduation dinner to honour PhD recepients, award winners and high achievers. We both looked damn sexy (half the reason I wanted to go was to have an excuse to wear a new dress I bought recently), and did our best to pretend to be mature adults (especially since we had a member of the University board at our dinner table). They made the function space look pretty nice, mostly through dim red lighting in an attempt to hide that it's the ground floor of the student building (below the food court). Also, the chairs were wearing frocks. There was a random wandering magician forcing us to watch him perform card and coin tricks during pre-dinner drinks and nibbles (very wtf? moment). The food and wine was surprisingly good (especially the delicious rack of lamb for main course, om nom nom nom). However, they had failed to read my RSVP properly, as they hadn't allocated hnix a seat, but this was sorted out before we went in for dinner.
Work's going ok at the moment, keeping me busy and giving me too many excuses for not getting to the gym more often.
Criminal Minds is my favourite tv show at the moment, a combo of it being consistently good and other shows not being at their best. My sister and I have decided to take a break from Heroes, and see other shows. Heroes, it's notyou, it's...actually, it's totally you. I don't care and I hate most of your characters. I'll catch up if things improve.
If I loved Fall Out Boy more, I think my heart might burst. I love the new songs and I love their stupid faces and ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And wow my computer speakers are not balanced, because I could pick out some of the guest singers with not too much difficulty (ok, some, but it was doable) on What a Catch, but couldn't hear the others AT ALL (even fiddling with the balance manually) until I listened to it through headphones. I can't pick favourites between these, there's just too much love in my heart at the moment. Just in case anyone's missed them or curious:
+ I Don't Care
+ Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet
+ What A Catch, Donnie
(I have a new fannish holy grail which I will never see realised in person, but do hope it gets caught on camera at some point: a performance of What A Catch with most of the guest vocalists, if not all).
