Update-ish
Mostly important and interesting things that have occurred:
-I went to Philly yesterday and checked out the UPenn campus. Well technically I went to meet up with my sister-in-law and we hung out, got dinner and this morning, she left for her home and I came to mine. I'd wanted to grab Ethiopian food, mainly because where I live, we don't have that diverse of choices. I mean we do, considering it's a fairly small city. But Ethiopian? I think the big cities or university towns cater to those tastes. Unfortunately, the restaurant we'd planned on was too far away from the hotel and we didn't want to walk too far in the cold. I could've driven but driving in a new city, esp. one with one-ways and such, was ruled out. So we ate Thai food, which was OK. My personal favourite were the veg spring rolls, which were fantastic. FAN-TAS-TIC. They were dripping with oil but man, those were the best spring rolls I've ever had, not counting the ones we got at the Oodles restaurant at Busey back at uni. Haha.
-"Heroes"!!!! One more episode this season. On one hand, I'm happy because I don't know how much longer I could've taken such an aggravating questions-filled season. But on the other, I'm a bit sad because who knows what other revelations would've showed up? And I know loads of people are upset about the writers' strikes but seriously, leave them be. If you're a writer, you know that it doesn't pay that well unless you're freaking JK Rowling, and making 4 cents out of a $20 DVD is ridiculous.
Anyway. that's just going on to a whole new level, so we'll just leave that for now.
-I really miss the friends. I had such a fantastic time with them last week. And with the fam. I miss home. One more month till Xmas!
-Need to start with the Xmas (or "Holiday" , since I don't celebrate Xmas) cards buying and writing soon. I want to send them out in the next or so week.
-Davis Cup finals start day after tomorrow, USA vs. Russia. Honestly, whoever wins is OK. I love Russia but with all these ridiculous Davydenko Betfair allegations and the Russians poisoning Tommy Haas or whatever. Tennis was the non-drama sport. Why now? WHY?
-Need to start writing again, which I will do soon. I want to write a quick flash fiction type thing here one day, which I will do soon as well.
And that is it. I'm listening to Pink Floyd for the first time (at least more than one song). I like it so far. Hurrah!
A good one to all.
