I'm having a pita filled with hummus, taztziki, spring greens, cherry tomatoes and sliced chicken breast. TJs was a good idea. I also got thai noodles, a peanut satay sauce and stirfryable veggies. I also have (from an earlier trip to the grocery) stuff for pepper omelets, caesar salad...my stomach may manage not to die of boredom this week.

I also got more tealights, but that has nothing to do with my stomach.

The Ethiopian restaurant I go to does a wonderful lentil dish that is the tastiest thing ever -- and generally I don't like lentils and other beanlike things. Get the chicken in the red hot sauce and the lentils in the milder yellow sauce, and lots of t'eff bread... yum!

I spent the day in programming class, and actually got my final project actually kind of working -- manipulating a web service that will give you theatre and movie listings for a given zip code into a format that lets you look up showings by theatre, movie, or showtime. The instructor seems very happy with me. :-)

French women have sex 120 times per year.

Sh*t. I am way behind.

OK, I have the tofu marinating and the rice in the rice cooker. Another 40 minutes or so, and I will have dinner. And then I will do laundry, because I really need to do laundry and I keep putting it off.

Theo - that sounds like Doro Wat (chicken hot red sauce) and shiro (lentil yellow sauce). I can make the Doro Wat and mac will approve, but he is not a shiro fan (I am), so I have not tried making it at home yet. You may like Miser Wat which is the lentils in the hot red sauce as a good combo of the two. I have a new recipe for injera (the t'eff bread) that I plan to try out the next weekend I am not dead tired.

Oh my god. I'm weeping over the Derby. Poor Eight Belles, I can't believe.

White font for those not watching:

She came in second, but broke both front ankles. They euthanized her right there on the track. Poor girl.

Oh, jesus, brenda. I completely forgot it was on, and wow. I can't even imagine.

That's heavy, brenda.

These are some meeting doodles.

God, the courtyard is alive with the burbling of toddlers. I'm so fucking grinchy, but I hate the common spaces noise.

How odd. They seem to only make two designs of shirt. Is that an example of long tail? I do think it's kinda weird seeing kids in political clothing, but I'm willing to forgive a lot for a good joke. This? Not quite a joke, I guess.

That's awful, Brenda.

I went over to Oakland to have lunch with Sparky and her DH. It was fun, but they forced me to buy this clock

Then I got caught in a traffic jam because there was a bad accident on the other side of the freeway that people on my side had to gawk at, and now I am home. I should be cleaning, but I think it is naptime instead.
