(no subject)
Things are very strange in my life right now. After I got home I sorted clothes in preparation for laundry but I really didn't feel like doing laundry so we're putting it off until at least tomorrow if not the weekend. I had some shrimp thawed for dinner and was planning to make a Thai curry with it but couldn't find my sauce so I made a teriyaki stir-fry instead. We tried out the new steamer for the rice and while it has three pans, the rice bowl is much smaller and you can only make a cup of rice at a time (I usually make two cups worth). I'm going to see if the rice bowl from the old steamer fits in it and try that out to see if I can make two cups worth next time I use it.
Anyway, we spent the evening clearing off stuff from the DVR. Lots of fun shows from Adult Swim and this week's episode of "Masters of Horror". This weekend we taped a couple of shows off of their anime-heavy Saturday night lineup (The Big O & Gigantor). We taped "The Big O" just because of the name and it was really very interesting. It was the first episode in the story arc so we may end up following it. We only taped "Gigantor" because it dealt with the South Pole and figured it'd have penguins. It did but it was so horribly bad a cheesy I was very glad we watched it (especially the movements that are made with the joystick to get the robot to work).
Last night we were supposed to have a bunch of snow but it never happened at all. Luckily we didn't get rain instead (we're really sick of rain) although there's a bunch of it coming up soon. Of course, beldar woke up this morning with his sinuses bothering him (the cpap didn't help much on that count). He's not going to admit he's sick but he is. Myself, I'm feeling run-down and a bit queasy. However, this week is the National Council meeting here at work so unless I'm dying, I have to be here.
I had a weird dream last night that I was at GenCon or a similar convention and was with beldar & someone else (I'm not sure who). Anyway, for some reason we went to check out the zoo in the town we were in. It was a really spiffy zoo and we were really excited about seeing it but when we were starting out, we all got separated and I couldn't find anyone. Therefore, I had to go through the place alone (which I don't mind but sharing the experience is half the fun). Of course it also meant I had to run through the invertibrate section in order to avoid any possible arachnid encounters. I remember when I finally took the time to check the map, it turned out I was going in the opposite direction of what we had planned so I was pretty certain I wouldn't run into the others until our paths somehow crossed. I also remember that about 1/4 of the total area was devoted to dancing. It looked like a huge building on the map but was actually an open air area so I cut across it in order to get to the next section which was where the penguins were. I woke up before getting there but still, had a very interesting time. I remember taking a picture of tourists underneath a coat rack which had a sign on the top that read "Chainsaw cake" (this was near the beginning of the dream and what helped get us all seperated).
Anyway, now I'm draggy and groggy and want to go back to bed for a few hours (it doesn't help that I'm freezing at my desk and cold air makes me sleepy). Oh well, that's it for now. I'll post more later if possible.
TTFN!
