Correlation?

I know three guys at school who either live in a condo their parents bought for them, or live rent free in their parent's basement suite in Point Grey (minutes from UBC, huge old houses). I don't particularly like any of them, and I think they are extremely annoying.

A new flavour of salad dressing

The other day I was in London Drugs and I found these packets of Indian spice mixes. A quick perusal of the back of the butter chicken spice suggested that it wouldn't be too hard to make my favorite take-out menu item at home. I was skeptical that it would be any good, but I decided to give it a try. $1.79 wasn't too much of a risk to take.

Tonight after a long day at the library and a solid workout at the gym, I decided to pick up some cheap chicken thighs and some yoghurt and make myself a delicious dinner. IT WAS TO DIE FOR. I almost licked the frying pan clean after. And I certainly licked the spatula.

Tomorrow I am going back to LD and buying at least a dozen more packets (they are 2 for $2.29). And then it is going to be a Butter-chicken-sauce-fest. There is a good chance I will be slathering it on my broccoli, trying it with chick-peas, and quite possibly toping my oatmeal with it in the morning.

Tang to the rescue, again

So, I am on my way shortly to an 80's party hosted by the Law Student's for Choice. The party is to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the very important (to women's rights) case of R. v. Morgentaler.
In the interest of being a poor student, I thought I would do a little pre-drinking before heading out. Sadly there is not a beer in the house. What I did have though, was some Absolut Vanilla. I'm not much for straight hard liquor, so I needed some mix, but I didn't have any pop or juice. But you know what I still have?? Two packets of Tang, previously mentioned in this post.
I should have a nice buzz on by the time I get to the party.

Note to self Re: wind warnings

If there is a wind warning for the Vancouver area, you probably don't want to go for a run. If you are stubborn about it, and decide to go anyway, you certainly do not want to run on the seawall. If you somehow find yourself on the seawall anyway, you absolutely do not want to be running west, INTO the wind.

My ears are sore.
