Office warming
Thursday was the office warming party for (e:allenstreet). The food was done by Coco and it was amazing. I definitely ate way too much dessert.

Lab mice
Category: work
I had to go through the creepy tunnels of the cell and virus building at Roswell the other day. Complete with 50s style lab posters - I was surprised none mentioned duck and cover in case of a commie attack.

(E:Paul) had a 5th monitor that I got to steal while I was over there. It's an okay monitor in terms of quality, but it has a touch screen. I got it to work with Linux with by modifying xinput in Fedora with the xinput_calibrator - you have to set the input area to just include the touch screen and not both monitors.

I have not been in those tunnels But my mother was in Gates for a bit of time and the way we would get to her room the long empty halls felt like we where in a zombie or some kind of post apoc movie granted no pipes like that but still kinda creepy the same ....

Total Request Rave in Toronto
Category: dancing
Was awesome. I drove up to Toronto in the second fastest drive of my life. It was terrifying. But we made it just in time to get half of Keith, (e:terry)'s old high school pal's set.

The whole night was happy hardcore. We were completely sober but I had so much fun dancing with the people there and the music. (e:casey) said it's because Canadians are polite and awesome enough for that.

The next day (e:terry) wasn't feeling well, so we had breakfast in the gayborhood and went home. Still a very fun weekend.

Sameer's bachelor dinner
After the Farmer's market, (e:paul), (e:terry) and I went to Jessica and Sameer's engagement party at Merge. I have never been there but the food was some of the best I've ever had. Almost everything was vegetarian too.

Jessica's friends did a really nice job organizing and decorating for the dinner. Everyone got a fortune cookie and a packet of curry powder in a little decorated box.

I felt bad that we couldn't go to the rest of the party, but we had to race out after 9 to head up to Toronto. I hope they had a good time that night and an even better ceremony in Las Vegas.

Winter market
Category: food
(e:paul) and I made it to the farmer's market again - it's full of fall and winter foods still, and now forested in Christmas trees.

We got a type of apple I've never seen before - Jonagold.

On the way back we found someone that drives worse than either of us.
