relax

this is the first weekend in a while that involves little or no obligation. it's kind of nice. last night i got home from work around 730, watched satc and ate cheese and crackers, and did sudoku puzzles before falling asleep before 1am. all in all, a very restful and comfortable night (especially with my new bed accessories!).

today i'm meeting up with abhay for lunch in about an hour. later, i'll have dinner with eric and possibly see a movie. in between, i'd love to find the idiotarod, which is taking place in nyc this weekend. i've never seen the race, but finding it is complicated by the fact that they don't say where they're going! very frustrating. if i can find out the end point of the race, i'll con bay into coming with me to watch the finish. it should be ridiculous.

tomorrow night: chinese new year at cottage, hopefully minus the person next to me vomiting in their noodle bowl. maybe mikeliu and sarah will be there, and i can congratulate the happy couple, possibly by hitting them in the face with cream pies. seems appropriate.
