after getting the week off to a rough start, this has been a good couple of days for lunch. I haven't had any non-curry lamb at the village before, and the stew is quite tasty.

listening to: the presets

park lunch! as such I was actually listening to crows and seagulls when I was eating, but now that I'm posting I'm listening to the presets. I hope that clears up the confusion you no doubt were experiencing. 'though a presets concert in the park would be pretty awesome, too.

lunch was almost free today because the shrubbery near webct was giving away 5 dollar bills. thanks shrubbery! I guess it would have been even more free if I'd just eaten the mushrooms for lunch, but then I likely wouldn't get any work done this afternoon.

hkcf is training a new wok handler who cooked my food too long. oh well, safety first I always say. but with tofu and vegetables, there isn't really much that can go wrong aside from soft veggies.

it's friday. lunch at the village. snacks from kam's bakery.

overheard on the bus earlier in the week: "oh em gee dot exclamation mark." I didn't know people said that sorta thing out loud.

latv has moved from blogger to blogger beta. I'm not sure how that's progress, but google knows best. check out those wicked labels I've added. as if it wasn't clear enough already. ok back to work.

more changes at the village! holy craps that place just doesn't quit with the innovations. there's a new girl working at curry point, and 1 meat 1 veg combos now cost $5.95 after tax. and there's a new joint opening! after two+ years sitting fallow, they've started work on whatever's replacing the varsity snack bar. click pic to see the goings ons behind the scenes. konichiwa bitches!

today is (effectively) the last day of webct! the last webct employee I know had his last latv today, and suprisingly it wasn't curry point. if you want his review, you can ask him when you see him in dc.

and in other webct news, click the thing to see what's become of gwilli's old desk. that place is a ghosttown. I think we should turn it into the new serf.

can someone tell me if 28 after was really recorded in 1978? the sounds themselves are timeless, but the production sounds too clean to me to be a long lost recording. regardless, it's an awesome sounding album and so damn catchy.

jon doesn't like the village basement, so I joined him at the new (to me, anyway) cafeteria in the blood sciences building. not bad, not good, but nice and close. I guess that's already an improvement on the village..

I forgot to take my camera, so instead of a picture of my lunch you get a picture of the new tim horton's in the fsc. 6 staff working there this morning, and I still had to wait for 10 minutes to get two donuts that were already made. methinks they need some training days.

MSFT!

listening to: the chatter of msr dorks

special friday lunch! gwilli always used to go somewhere different on fridays, so I thought I would do the same. this time I went to microsoft research in the heart of deepest darkest redmond for a fine cafeteria lunch. I got the stuffed pepper from the healthy food section, but healthy == bland at msft. I couldn't convince anyone that even though the juice was green, it still tasted like juice. and last on the ingredient list is nova scotia dulce. way to represent all the way over in the usa.

after lunch we took a shuttle car to the Company Store. jim had taken a shuttle bus before and found that they have candy on them, but kori shattered his illusions when she told him it was just for hallowe'en. on the way back, we got a bus with candy on it which made yesterday possibly the best day ever for jim.

oh yeah, and we saw some zunes. they didn't have any pink ones. they kinda suck.
