That was a truly awesome and enjoyable party, and I should do more of them!

The group of people that showed up turned out to be ideal for socialization and chatter. Getting through any particular episode of Neverwhere or anything else we watched was hindered by any pause that occurred, because we'd inevitably get on some sort of tangent for 45-60 minutes. It was awesome. In total, we watched one episode of Pushing Daisies, the entirety of Neverwhere, and a little bit of The Mighty Boosh. A lot of snacks were eaten, sipping chocolate was drunk, pizza was ordered, and I drank most of a bottle of Malta Goya - which was possibly a bad idea. That stuff is nasty, in a compelling way.

So yes. Good friends, food, fun, and fiction. Let's do it again sometime, eh?

What is sipping chocolate?

The way I described it last night at the party was "hot chocolate for badasses." (In Aus, do you say hot chocolate or hot cocoa?) Espresso versus coffee is sipping chocolate versus hot chocolate. It's thicker, darker (in the %cacao sense), less sugary. Mmmm.

Hey now, the party was BETWEEN blizzards! It wasn't snowing badly at any time that we were actually inside watching things. Just... before and after.

Bah, how can you not like Malta Goya? It's awesome! And soda-like, but all sweet and malty...Hm. Maybe I'll pick some up on my way to work today.

Note how I kept drinking it? It's... so weird! It's like drinking mollasses! Every sip would be awesome and horrible together!

I must try this. Do you remember ever having seen it in OK? I will check the international foods area of the grocery store today...

I honestly don't remember ever seeing it in OK, but I never looked. You should definitely check!

Sounds great. Wish I could've been there.
