I just had New York Strip steak, a baked potato with sour cream and roast asparagus.

I feel like a python who's just swallowed a pig. I need a warm rock to sleep on.

That all sounds fantastic.

My minion just had a friend from out of town show up here. I hope my boss doesn't give me shit about it, because if she does, it will be never-ending. At least we (minion and I) have done work today! Unlike, as far as I can tell, my boss!

I do, but only in my bedroom, and I only use it when I'm in bed. I am a cheap and/or hearty Yankee.

Me too!

The boyfriend is going to put one in his office too but I'm afraid he won't be able to run it AND his computer without tripping the breaker.

Someday we'll get the electric redone in this place. My new kitchen has as much electric running to it as the rest of the house combined.

I can't tell you how awesome 20amp circuits are. 2400 watts goes a long ways.

I would kill for that meal, tommy. Sounds delish.

I had a lot of trouble telling where one began and the other ended

That's what I'd read/heard quite exactly. Have you been following me around and whispering it to me?

Yes

It was delish. I'm lucky to have such a good place a block away from work....

Yes

I promise to start going more interesting places as soon as I get some money.

Timelies all!

Dinner will most likely be take-out Chinese. Which is perfectly fine by me.

ita, I just talked to my little sister, and even she said that the action was hard to follow and she couldn't tell which were the good guys and which were the bad guys when everything was blowing up. She wanted a TiVo to bloop-bloop past all the action near the end. But she said it was funny and generally liked it overall.

P-C, since I can't work out how anyone could have liked the first one, I guess you could like the second one just fine.

I had a panic. The Wimbledon coverage said that reporters had been asking Federer about MJ and Mandela. But it's okay. Mandela==still alive. Even Wimbledon coverage opened up with the news of MJ's death, which was a little much, and Serena apparently got more questions about him than about tennis, since they'd spent some time together.

And Andy Roddick had been complaining jovially that he gets more questions about Twitter than he does about tennis, but if he tweets about MJ's death, how will he not get more attention? Apparently his following goes up every time they show his feed on ESPN2--they refreshed the screen and showed an increase of 15 as they spoke yesterday.
