Wow. Am I ever lame and non-updatey.
Last mention: lots of amazing fresh food. This has since all been turned into things like seared tuna steak with a soy-ginger-cilantro-cream sauce, mashed purple potatoes, hamburgers, corn on the cob, steamed artichokes, sandwiches, guacamole, green and white asparagus with melted butter and coarse kosher salt, pasta with ground beef and tomatoes, and lots of nibbles of cheese and pickles and crackers and jam.
I got a bonus at work. It was my very first bonus ever! I really enjoy getting bonuses. A lot. Also, the bonus has already been spent. I bought a Christmas vacation to San Diego with it.
Thanksgiving is less than one month away. I have yet to schedule my oven timing. I need to get on that. It is going to be fabulous and amazing, and there will be much Buffy.
I have a DVR now. Digital Video Recorder. I can record any show I want. And watch it any time I want. And pause live TV. Technology is amazing and wonderful.
I also have Mac OS X 10.3, or "Panther." I stood in line for two hours to get inside the store last Friday. When the Wang and I got in (at near the head of the line, mind you), the entire staff was applauding our entrance. That was stellar. Technology is amazing. And wonderful.
I saw Urinetown last night. The musical. The show was fantastically good, and the villain was played by Maxwell Sheffield, the dad on The Nanny. Or Shane from Days Of Our Lives, if you like. And then I met the stage manager and got to go backstage and then got to stand ON stage. The stage manager told me to sing something. At first I demurred, but at her urging, I belted out a quick "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and then ran off stage, having successfully completed my Broadway theatre debut.
