That's, I think "Chana Masala."

Ennyway, Chana Masala from Baluchi's has improved my mood considerably. If I had a picture of a happy goldfish, I'd put that up instead.

Still bored, though....

Today, I am annoyed. With the world.

I am going to try to get over it.

The crushing boredom of work is not helping, however.

Daffodils

On the bus today, I noticed that the daffodils are going full blast in Bryant Park. This makes me very happy.

I will have to visit them this weekend, now that I don't work across the street from there. I need to see some daffodils up close.

Spring is definitely in the air today, and it's good.

I got a letter from the teacher of my ladybug class (from Donors Choose). She's ordering the science equipment and looking forward to the arrival of their ladybugs later this Spring. I am really most looking forward to getting photos of the class learning while using the equipment from the proposal. That's going to be cool.

Game

Here are the rules:

1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences (#5,6,7) on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it. Just grab what is closest. No cheating.



Choose me a shawl, she said, for that would please Rose, who was bound to suffer so. "There," she said, stopping by the window on the landing, "there they are again." Joseph had settled on another tree-top.

So, I've challenged my parents to help me help out Donors Choose, which happens to have a proposal from their local elementary school! Small world.

Hopefully they'll forward my email to their little community bulletin board and this will be funded in no time. Feel free to give something yourself, you who are reading this, as well!

So, I just donated a bunch of ladybugs to some first graders in Texas.

Big Pharma, Take Me Away, Part II

Slight change of plan. It was a Sonata night.

And I actually feel ok today, probably largely because of the grande latte I'm sucking down.

And now that Big Pharma has taken me away, it's time for me to toil in the vineyards of Big Pharma all the day long.

It's like the Circle of Life, but somehow not.

Big Pharma, Take Me Away . . . .

Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve actually updated anything on here, so here goes.
Ironically, I’m updating my “Get More Sleep” goal over on 43 Things. At 1:10 in the morning.

I worked 13.5 hours today and just came home a little too wound up to sleep, so I’ve killed an hour or so on the internet. Now, I think it’s time for Lunesta and sleep. In that order….
I’m gonna be SUCH a zombie tomorrow….

Plus ça change . . .
