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)

my bass player and I were all, "Noooo Serenity opening night!"

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.

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

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.

From above: so, cassava = manioc = yucca?

And tapioca comes from it!

My favorite alteration of this adds a third line:

Dry hands on pants.

I'd forgotten about that one, but definitely of the funny. You see it a lot less often than the 12-year old themed scratch outs, though.

whoever thought tomato sauce should be sweet should be shot, though.

Yes. The cafeteria here at work makes sweet tomato sauce. I've taken to putting salt on any of their italian dishes to try to make up for it, and I normally never put salt on anything except for occaisional french fries (depends on if they need it or not.)

And also: Apple seeds are poisonous; they contain a cyanide compound. However, you'd have to eat apple seeds specifically in quantity to reach critical mass.

I know this due to a G.I. Joe episode where they're lured a giant amoeba creature that was eating everything into an apple orchard to kill it.

Also called "Papa John's".

Ugh. Also, in addition to the sweet sauce, their pizza also tastes peanut buttery to me. So not the flavor I'm looking for in my pizza.
