GOLD CUP AND GREEN FAIRIES

Evidently, today is a horse race called the Gold Cup, and a friend of mine had a tip on a horse! Not only have I never bet on a horse before, I've never had a tip on a horse, so a friend of mine taught me how to bet on horses today and yes, that is exactly what I did.

I am so excited, I could die.

Also, I haven't talked all that much about the fact that I have two friends coming over here and I am incredibly happy and excited about it. But that happens to be the case. We have been finalising our orders for robes/cloaks/whathaveyou, and they are going to be stunning!

I am fairly certain that we are going to have an official cloakmaker for the cult at this point, and we are conscious of the fact that we are establishing the future look for all cloaks. I secretly want one in a cow print. Later, I will get one. But for now, I am going to go with something a bit more subdued.

I also bought three different types of absinthe because they want to try it while they are here. They actually want to try it in a disreputable bar, but it appears to only be served in very very yuppie places. So I figure, I will try to find a disreputable bar, and if I do, they can just take this stuff home with them. Otherwise, we can have a tasting at my house or something.

Incidentally, absinthe is over 50% alcohol. Wow. I will have to be careful and make sure nobody gets poisoning.
