Another yummy dinner last night. I love the Thai fried rice at a restaurant near Justin's apartment, but we don't go there too often for a variety of reasons. I wanted to try making it from scratch, so I looked for a couple of recipes online, and after getting a few ideas, just sort of winged it ( Read more... )

Yesterday, we did manage to go to the gym in the late morning, then went to the diner for brunch and came home. We had planned to go out in the evening for some shopping, but I lost my yen for that and we ended up staying ( Read more... )

My statistics professor tries hard and knows what he's talking about most of the time, but he gets tripped up on small details, makes a lot of mistakes that student sometimes have to correct him on, and has a tendency to make things more confusing when he tries to explain something for too long. I am getting most of what ( Read more... )
