I Suck At Lost

Last night, my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea) came over. Originally, the plan was to go to Marc and Kelley's for the night. Karen, however, had a late meeting that she had to attend in regards to the public library. Consequently, everyone ended up at our place instead.

On the agenda for the night: Lost. Of course, I suck at Lost. I actually think I might because I totally forgot things from earlier in the season... and the show is not even that far into the final season. Oh well. Without giving anything away, the episode was good.

Andrea was gracious enough to bring brownies last night. They were special brownies... and I don't mean of the variety that gives you munchies or anything like that. Although I'm sure Karen's cousin (Karlene) would enjoy those brownies. Just kidding. (For anyone curious, I thought it would be funny if Karlene were a pot user because it would have been out of character for her.)

The brownies that Andrea brought were of the gluten-free variety. Apparently, there is gluten epidemic. People will look back at the great gluten epidemic of 2010. I'm just having fun of course. My favorite sister-in-law (Janine) has been recently diagnosed with celiac. Kelley has always had stomach issues and now she is on a gluten-free diet. The once hardly-known allergy seems pretty common these days. Again, I blame the food companies. I've turned into a grumpy old man and consequently need someone to blame for things. So I chose the food companies. By the way, yesterday happened to be Janine's birthday. Happy birthday, Janine! Hope you enjoyed yesterday!

Anyway, the gluten-free brownies were good. They were different, but good. By different, I mean that the texture of the brownie is not the same as the traditional brownie texture. That is to be expected after all since it can't have gluten. Needless to say, the brownie was good. And of course, it tasted doubly good with ice cream... which is how we had the brownies. (Yes, I love ice cream.)

And for anyone curious, Marc started his new job yesterday. He seemed very excited about the job, which is good. And, the company sounds like it is a great company to work for which is always a plus.

All in all, it was a great time last night.
