In which all thought turn to food

Happy birthday dorrie6! I hope you have a wonderful day.

The week of the constant *thwack*, *thwack* of squash balls is almost over. I don't know whose idea it was to put a freaking SQUASH COURT in the middle of a place where people are actually working, but I'm guessing it was someone whose office doesn't front onto the atrium holding said squash court. Idiots.

I also don't know why anyone would want to watch people playing squash. Granted, I don't understand why people want to watch most sports, but squash seems particularly silly. It's like watching someone run on the treadmill - there's no strategy, just lots of power. Feel free to contradict me if you know better. :)

(Ha! We've decided that the next event in the atrium should be strip poker. Or possibly jello wrestling. Much more entertaining.)

Yesterday I discovered that what I thought was free extended cable was actually cable that I was paying for, even though I hadn't asked for it. Nice. And of course the reason it took me three months to figure this out is that at some point I stopped receiving bills, even though I hadn't asked for that either. Too bad they didn't decide to stop taking the money from my bank account, even though I didn't ask for that either.

I am impatiently waiting for blueberry season. Strawberries just don't cut it (I know, blasphemy), although I've been eating them anyway. Yesterday I found some not-ridiculously-expensive blackberries, which made me happy this morning, but they're still not blueberries.

Blueberries and ice cream -- the two best foods in the world.

Mmmm, now I want some ice cream.

If you're going to do that, why stop at half-measures? Take out the squash players and raquets, and put in kittens!

Can you tell it's Friday? I think I'll go home now... ah, the life of a grad student...
