Buffy Tonite!

At least I hope so. Can't always count on this crazy hawaiian tv to deliver on time.

Not much has really occurred since sunday, but I had some time off so I thought I would bring the weblog up to speed.

I am now the proud owner of a adult monthly bus pas! Hooray! Only took an hour round trip to get to the silly 7-eleven that sold it! Oh well, I bribed myself with an aloha pineapple jamba juice (a smoothie). So happy and cold of tongue am I. Although now I'm sitting back in the lab, wondering if I should actually do work that will get me home more quickly, but will ultimately involve more walking. Should've brought a bike.

At this point let me say, once again, that Alice is awesome. She's meeting all sorts of famous people and having lots of fun adventures. Friends you can trust and talk to are precious indeed, and to have them be super cool too? well, those people are even rarer gems.

I've tried to cheer up Cheryl by getting her a birthday present: some pretty glass fridge magnets and a little book on margaritas--she's a professed "margarita snob." And it seemed to cheer her up a bit, which was well worth the walk to Borders.

For dinner last night, I made Japanese eggplant sauteed in garlic with lightly cooked spinach. . . .I about keeled over when this weird experiment actually looked really good, especially compared to Carl's ramen noodles. It even tasted good. Maybe there's hope for me yet as a cook. I sat down and watched "Witchblade" and found it to be quite enjoyable--when havent' I found girls kicking butt enjoyable?--but the claim that this show is as good as Buffy is VERY FALSE. But at least there's the strange swarthy guy who follows the lead lady around making weird, cryptic comments and wearing a cape. That's entertainment enough :)
