Now playing: Fruit, Here for Days, "6 Thousand 4 Hundred and Something".

=================

Nothing much to report. Great sushi with Karen last weekend. I lusted after her iPod. Speaking of which, Karen, there's a $35 radio transmitter you can get for it that would remove the need for your cassette adapter.

During the week: all sorts of annoyances at work. I can't wait for the building rewire project to be complete. It's so GDMF annoying having to deal with people on another continent about this. Communication takes so long.

Last night: Dinner here with Mom - chicken breasts with Adobo on the Foreman grill, and lots of stir-fried veggies. Chicken came out well - Mom was shocked at how quickly it cooked. Turns out she normally cooks her boneless chicken breast by boiling it for an hour!!! No wonder she likes canned chicken! Then the movie Ararat. Ugh. Good movie I guessbut another kind that was "I'll never get those two hours back."

Tonight: Good meal at Touch of Garlic in Springfield with Paul and Andrea. Paul's veal Grand Marnier was a bit sweeter than he would have liked, but overall everything was pretty tasty.
