Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Dude, you don't get extra money just because you're depressed!

If we did, this past summer would have made me independently wealthy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I haven't had a treat today. Someone in my office should make a Buttercup Bake Shop run.

My office treat is that I avoided the SARS or whatever that's sent the rest of the production dept. home for at least one day so far this week. Being standoffish and ultra-fastidious about hand washing pays off!

OH! lisah! Am bummed out that you will be playing in the NYC simultaneous to me seeing Serentity.

darn. yeah. I understand. When we got the show my bass player and I were all, "Noooo Serenity opening night!" But the opportunity is working out so well in every other way that we couldn't really pass it up. We're going to have to wait until Saturday night to see the movie. (unless we get up there early enough and find a convenient enough theatre to see it in before we play)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, at least you have shared ground with your band.

Bon, I liked Prison Break. There was frowning and sweating and violence.

I had duck curry for lunch. It was spicy, basil-filled, and sweet in a good way.

From above: so, cassava = manioc = yucca?

Vegans, though, I have no idea what to cook them. I'd probably just hand them some lentils and the spice rack.

Heh. At least half of the dishes I make with any regularity are vegan by default--not intended as such, just lacking any non-vegan ingredients.

My treat today was a 10% net realized profit on a stock after 17 days. Not as good as last week's 20% net realized profit in 6 days, but a treat nonetheless.

Whoa. I just balanced my checkbook today, and... let's just say it was not such a treat.

Bass player is also my housemate so it works out well! She didn't see the Firefly in first run and so we watched the series (in order!) on dvd this spring and she got completely hooked. She really wants the band to cover the theme. (The other two aren't really into tv at all. But they're pretty agreeable and would probably take a stab at the theme if we really wanted to do it.)

I'm excited to hear the case against Bumble and bumble one of my classmates is doing.

What now?

We're having cake and ice cream this afternoon. C'moooon four o'clock.

My treat just became joining up with a big ol' group for the Serenity premiere Friday. There'll be dinner (and drinks) before hand and quite possibly more drinks after and, of course, the movie in the middle. It's been ages since I've been to a fannishly big movie with fellow fen.

My treat to myself is that I'm leaving work early.

To go to the dentist.
