Short weeks, they can be good and they can be bad. Yah more time off, oh shit I have to fit 5 days into 4 days bad. But has been a full on week and I got lots done. I am pleased they have put Paris back in jail. You do the crime - you do the time.
Work
I got a lot of little things out of the way and gave a report on some of my findings, and finished off the week with doing plasmid preps. I could have done more work and I blame the girls for distracting me, but I did let them. Still who can say no to perfume sales. I need to clean my desk.
Social
Well has been a full on week. So last Sunday we had our Sleep over and shopping. We hit DressSmart for the afternoon, and was nicely timed so the mall closed before we could spend to much money. For there we went to the supermarket and brought a whole pile of nibbles and headed back to my place. Where we drank large amounts of wine and talked a lot. Watched movies and ate ice cream. So much talking, was really good though. Finally went to bed at 3am. Next day more talking and waffles for breakfast. Then I grabbed Briar's car and went and picked up our new washing machine. Thursday we went to the perfume clearance sale and after walking around a warehouse of perfume, my nose gave up and went on holiday. Good thing I knew what I liked and got that. Who knew Paris Hilton had so many different ones, I liked Just Me. So I too can smell like skanky white woman. CKone smells good no matter who you are and I got this one. 
The laugh of the sale was Brittney Spears has one called In Control. We thought they should rename it to Out of Control or Pregnant Teenager. When we got back to work we all sprayed Ed with our various purchases. I wonder what his girlfriend said? That night I went to the mall and got my old National Bank cards chopped up and looked at handbags. I found one I really like but got the No from Nick. Bah humbug. My theory was if i don't spend any money on drinking, lunches and that kind of stuff then I should be allowed handbags. After all the handbag I wanted was less than what he spends a week on lunches. Oh well. It was nice a nice handbag. That night I was up till 12.30 baking a cake for Jude. I hope it tasted as good as it looked. I blew most of my Friday calories the next day after I had iced it there was some icing left over and I had a spoon or two. I didn't even get the cake, so not only did not get my cake, or get to eat it too; you aren't even allowed to lick the left overs.
That night was Anne's 20 years of service to government science. So free drinks and nibbles, I did well and kept to the fruit and water. From there I got picked up by Nick and his work group and we headed down to the airport to the 24 hr Driving Range and hit 100 balls. 
Well I found out that my club preference hasn't changed and I still do a mean drive with a sand wedge. Then it was off to the Cock n Bull for a few beers. After that I went home - sober due to just having water. And Nick stumbled in at 4am toasted. Saturday I mowed the lawns and went to a play, but more about that latter.

I am still playing WoW and have given up the gold hunt, mainly because I gave away all the gold I had last night. Instead I am working on my PvP and making my arena skills better. Need a couple of items, but working on that. If somewhat slowly. Other than WoW I haven't been playing much else. Some TD. I really like this map called Stacker's.
Being a better person
This is going well. I have become a calorie counting freak all because of Spark. My fitness is up and I have started doing yoga again. After this I was thinking of going for a 20min run. Just to warm up for the day. Still it is only 2 weeks down and really the first two weeks are easy, keeping at it for longer is the hard part. I should go and donate some blood and work on being a good person in other ways.
Books and stuff
Well I have seen a few movies; finished Boy and now reading Going Solo.
For the sleep over we watched Pyar ke Side Effects, 
which was hilarious and I fully endorse this one. If you haven't seen a bollywood. Start with this one. I saw The Prestige 
and that was good, but they shouldn't have explained how the trick was done. Would have made the movie a bigger hit. How was he doing it, but I guess Americans have no imagination and there for have to be told.

WOW I loved this movie and would suggest you should see it. It is so sad and.... Just watch it. Will definitely be adding this one to our DVD collection

It was really good. So if supporting local talent is your thing - go see it..

Not much has changed on this front
Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shores... burning with the fires of passion.
