this whole theme of "I don't know what to do with myself" is rapidly taking its toll.
therefore the revamping of the blog...by which i'm tickled pink and therefore plan to chill here more. :)

on the other hand, there's not something i can really choose to do right now.
i'm sure in a couple of days, i'm going to be recanting my statement in some psycho temp job in the city.

seriously, i went to interview with this company and they are something else. I guess i've been doing "touchy-feely" work for so long that I've forgotten how cutthroat some parts of business can by.

so i'm sitting w/ the rest of the crew in their 'work area' just gettin' a feel for the office...
and suddenly we're all quiet cuz the boss lady is reaming some poor fool out on the phone. "NO YOU CANNOT DO THAT. THAT'S ILLEGAL. YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING THE PRACTICE OF THE DOCTOR." and so on and so forth. dude. i ain't heard someone yell that much in public since ever, i think.
but they'll pay me, so i guess here i go...selling my soul so i can afford to go to a couple of baseball games without having to sit in the nosebleed seats.

until my fate settles upon me, i'm off to trader's joe w/ gifford. Let the bread rise.

night adventures...

my pie appears HUGE, but...

but when i cut it...

it turns out that i should've put more vents into the top crust

i forgot to take picture of the pie on the plate with vanilla bean ice cream. sorry.
i care, i do, i really do.

finally... the boys are regrouping after playing Oakland on Thursday. that was miserable. classic, in a sense, meebe, but miserable nonetheless. look at Johnny boy being almost clean shaven.

my first night back, i set the alarm for 7:30am

i wake and think...dude, it's usually foggy but this look a little too dark to be just overcast. and how come i didn't hear everyone else getting ready for work. wait a minute...

dang it, forgot to set my clock back three hours. there goes that expensive edumacation.

i need a secretary...obviously i'm too intelligent to handle everyday life.

congratulations to mary who graduated from Yale's Epidemiology and Public Health School.

YAY!

we're off to TORONTO!
wheee!

to watch the RED SOX play the Blue Jays!
in the SKY DOME!
and because of Canadian currency, we get cheaper tickets!
closer up!

i'm becoming SUCH a girl.

other girls celebrate by going to the spa, me and my gals are off to TORONTO! wheeee....
just for the game...

and then it's off to sunny California. here's hoping that it's not sweltering there like it is here.

killing time in the library before we go see a fine art's master thesis exhibition...with free food and wine, of course.

so i take an online quiz to find out which celebrity chef i am...

I'm The Naked Chef!
better than being Julia Childs, i suppose.
His cookbook is sorta fun, btw.

Yesterday was the last day of classes...
we celebrated the end w/

the season finale of Friends
tomato basil bruschetta
and some FINE cabarnet sauvignon...

i'm starting to see a need to invest in wine glasses. invariably, we end up drinking out of water glasses...doesn't quite give that wine room to really BE.

at any rate, there's almost nuthin' seriously nerdy left for me to do...

i'm already humming the theme song for the end...

"i just don't know what to do with myself..."

honestly, i think the way to my heart is through my stomach...
