Whine whine whine

I had so much fun last weekend that I really wanted to write all about it, preserve a record for posterity or something... but I wanted to do it sometime when I was more wide-awake and alert than I was when I got home, so I only began to babble a bit and saved a note for later, expecting to be up to writing more soon enough. Well, I eventually realized I was sick. I'm still a bit sick. Last night there was what sounds like a great Samhain party, and I was tired enough that I didn't even wish I was there so much as wish I had enough energy to wish I were there.

Bah. This has really gotten old.

Have to deal with bureaucracy this week. Don't wanna deal with bureaucracy this week. Even if I had the energy, I wouldn't wanna. But I gotta. Life is really un-fun, sometimes.

Anyway, I went to sleep early enough last night that I should have gotten a good eight hours, except a housemate and very drunken guests came in the house quite noisily and one continued to be quite noisy as that one had reached the vomiting stage and remained in that stage for quite a long time, till I finally gave up on the whole sleeping thing and decided to turn on the light and read a book instead. Got less than four hours total, though a long nap this afternoon helped make up for it a little.

Have been presenting a calm front lately even to myself, but the things I'm muttering under my breath today suggest I'm rather more stressed out than I realized. When a normally pure-mouthed hummingwolf uses the F word without even realizing it, you know there is a problem.

And on a pathetically trivial note: There are Limited Edition Reese's Cups with Marshmallow. The candy industry has gone completely insane--went mad years ago, in fact--but, as I don't watch enough television to know what all the popular ads are, what I'm wondering is if they have commercials for all these limited edition candy bars. Instead of those old ads where someone carrying milk chocolate runs into someone carrying peanut butter, is there an ad with three guys running into each other? "You got your peanut butter on my chocolate and his marshmallow!" Are the three people running into each other, or maybe running around each other and somehow becoming attached to each other through the magical power of candy? And since these limited edition candies breed like bunnies, I'm thinking of the three hares (more rabbits here from today's Endicott Studio entries).

Having said all that, it pains me to tell you that the Reese's Cups with Marshmallow really aren't very good.

Reese's Cups are one of those rare candies that cannot be improved upon. The original will always remain the best.

Yet I keep trying their different special edition flavors, like the dark chocolate ones, or light chocolate, or fudge, or the ones with caramel...

Yep, I'm gullible that way.

I'm chuckling at the commercial possibilities. Sadly, Reeses peanut butter cups with marshmallow don't sound good to me. I don't know why. I like any of the two in combination but somehow all three sounds like it just wouldn't work.

The real problem seems to be the marshmallow doesn't work that well in candy bars. At least, it doesn't seem to taste all that good in mass-produced bars with Hershey chocolate (Hershey S'mores bars taste vile to me). It's a shame, but at least now I have an idea what kind of candy to avoid in the future!
