Barbãr
I've been pretty pissed because my public transports card still hasn't arrived in the mail. My subscription is supposed to start on October 1st, but classes start Monday. And without that card, I'll have to pay uselessly expensive amounts just to travel to school. It's a pain the ass, really, especially considering that I filed the paperwork in late August and that they sent it back to me through mid-September, basically to say: "Oh, well this document you provided isn't what we asked for, even though it's a perfect equivalent, so give us something else. Also, we don't know how to read, so please fill out your banking account's info, even though you had sent us your mother's, which had nothing wrong with it, because we didn't understand we were supposed to work with an account other than yours." Fucking administrative bullshit, as always.
I really hope the card arrives on Monday or Tuesday, because I really don't wanna go through the whole first week without it. Three days will already be more than my nerves can afford.
On a completely unrelated note, my roommate and I decided to go do some groceries shopping in a supermarket we don't usually go to (we have one about a km away from the appartment, so we never really bother going anywhere else by car). We stopped at a liquor shop specialized in beers and wines and decided to treat ourselves a little. I really like discovering new beers and alcohols, and they have a lot of choice! We grabbed 3 beers: the Delirium Tremens, Bon Secours, and Gordon. The first one we drank as we got home once we cooled it, and it's pretty good (it's a triple fermented one), but it fizzed a whole lot once in a glass. The second one we're saving to drink while eating some good cooked dishes; it's a blonde Belgian beer, and my roommate told me it's one of the first good beers he tried, so I was intrigued. And the last one is a strong blonde, supposedly Scottish but produced in Belgium, as it appears.
We also got ourselves the Barbãr glasses, because they're basically mugs, and we both wanted beer mugs. Speaking of Barbãr, I wanted to get some, but unfortunately, someone had raided the shop before we had. I also resisted my urge to grab the last two Cuvée des Trolls left, because although it's my favorite beer along with the brune Maredsous, I need to try some new things.
I also looked for a while at the hard alcohol portion of the shop and spotted some good deals I'll probably get whenever I have more money at hand. Notably a few bottles of whiskey which were very affordable- I'm always up to try new whiskey brands. There were also some very expensive vodkas, and while it's probably my favorite alcohol, well, I can't afford a 70€ bottle, as much as I'd like to... There were also a lot of liquors, like a Chinese rose flavored liquor, which I really wanna get at some point to try it. And some good looking rum too, as well as cognac... And, obviously, a whole lot of wine. But I'm not much of a wine person; it's hard to find good deals when you don't know much about it, there are just too many brands to choose from.
Good, my roommate and I sound like alcoholics now. In reality, we barely drink (just a beer once in a while), but we love stacking up some harder alcohols in our kitchen drawers. Even though the most drinking we do is at 3AM when we've been working on school work and need to fall asleep soon, and grab a bottle to drink a bit just screaming to each other "DON'T JUDGE ME, I JUST NEED TO FALL ASLEEP FAST TO BE ALERT TOMORROW".
Yeah.
Tomorrow we're making a gratin with zucchini, potatoes and *drumroll* goat cheese. That's how we treat ourselves for sitting on our asses all week, you're welcome.
I also wanted to buy some white tea but roommate wouldn't let me because we had already exploded our expenses and it was Damann tea- which means too expensive. But fuck that shit, I'm probably gonna go buy a box once I have my public transports card. I've wanted to try it for too long, so nothing can stop me.
Can you tell I don't wanna go to school next week? I can.
Also, we're almost through with Shameless US's season 5. Only one episode left. I've kept myself busy doing a lot of stuff this week, but I'm bummed I didn't find time to start MGSV (lilia_purpurea took pity of me and offered it to me *cries* thx so much), because... I know if I did, I probably wouldn't have gotten up from the PC at all for days, so I restrained myself. But I'll probably try to play it by small sessions on the weekends if I can manage my time properly once school starts.
But, in reality, tomorrow, I need to do a lot of cleaning for the appartment. I'm not excited.
