Dinner was awesome last night, and Adam and Rory really seemed to enjoy it. I would probably pass on the parsnips if I did it again, but all in all it was a very simple and tasty recipe.
I am listening to the first of my two new CDs, and so far, so good….
I got my first “Report Card”, which is Graham-Family-Speak for “Pay Check”. It is about what I expected to get for one check, maybe a wee bit lower. I may have to re-evaluate my withholding situation after I do some math.
It is too damn hot in the place, so I am bugging out in 15 minutes. Adam and Rory are coming over for dinner after work today. It is nice having furniture now; people can come over and have a place to sit. :)
There are many benefits from working across the street from Fenway Park, and one of them is having your office directly above the Best Sausage Company.
ICE CREAM MAN!
Going out for lunch with Chuck…
In case anyone wondered what the “Not sending the BMessage” problem I was having with my skinned button control… When I overrided BControl::AttachedToWindow() I forgot to invoke the original AttachedToWindow (which meant that the Target wasn’t being set as it is supposed to).
Since I never really mentioned what kept me busy yesterday, here goes nothing:
I took care of all the donation stuff, and headed to Fuddruckers for lunch with Chuck. Afterwards, I came back to the house to chill for awhile, and then went out to Café Soundz in Montclair to pick up some CDs. While I was there I picked up a new pair of boots and the latest Autechre EP (Peel Sessions 2). Bobby (who owns the shop) gave me a great deal on both the boots ($40) and the disc ($10).
James and I then went to the ultra-trendy Café Metro in Denville for dinner. Seems like a really nice place, and the Grilled Chicken with Peanut Sauce I had was really good. It is difficult to get a peanut sauce done right, it usually ends up too salty or too sweet, and they did a good job, so I might end up back there again.
We then came back to my house to watch my copy of Time Bandits on DVD and afterwards I went to bed.
Today I went to the mall with Chuck, had some Chicken Teriaki, and came back and chilled for awhile. Tonight will probably (hopefully?) be a quiet night for me.
Going to head down to Dover in a little while to drop off some old clothes and books at the Salvation Army. I would normally take my clothes to an Amvets bin, but I don’t believe you can donate books at the bins, so I am just taking it all down to Dover.
Chuck is going to tag along; he has some pants to get rid of as well. We will find something to eat while we are out, and I know it will be good, because I am not in Rochester anymore.
I feel better today than I have in a long, long while…. I am getting very relaxed, and I had a great night’s sleep. Last night I had some pizza from The Grotto, and this afternoon Chuck and I went down to Ledgewood and stopped by my favorite pizza shop here (Enzo’s). Now me and me pappy are going to feast on some sandwiches from Frank’s Pizza… :)
Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure just came on Encore, and Dad and I started to watch it, but we decided to throw in the DVD of it instead to enjoy the widescreen and the 5.1 audio…..
Yummy! I just had some hotdogs out of the microwave. I officially ran out of debit last night, but it isn’t that big of a deal, because I really need to start getting rid of some of the food lying around here anyway. :)
Time to resume calc in a few minutes… I haven’t packed my shit up at all…. Saturday after my final is probably going to be rather busy.
I got a great night’s sleep last night, for a change… I haven’t exactly gotten one of those in awhile, and it was very refreshing to not only be able to go to bed early-ish, but to also be able to sleep without interruption (for the most part) until I felt like getting up. I needed that… :)
There are lots of projects I want to work on for various reasons, but unfortunately this week is going to be mostly devoted to my Calculus exam on Thursday… On top of that, the asswipe will be giving us a quiz today! The thing that really, really, bothers me about this guy is this: He goes over a topic in class, and we have homework for that topic (he gave us all the homework for the quarter back in the beginning). The next time the class meets, he will go over any problems that students request from the homework, which is good. The bad thing is, however, that he also gives a quiz on the material the homework covered on the same day, so that if we did have trouble with the homework, we really don’t have a chance to go back and regroup… Grrr…
Anyway, I am gonna go grab some chow soon….
