Is it really sad when your Christmas tree has been sitting out until yesterday?

There it was, sitting on our dining room table (it’s not a very big tree) being neglected for the past month or so (shows you how much we use our dining room table). Finally got around to noticing it again and deciding it was probably time to take the darned thing down and put it away for another year. Now we can use our table again! Like any other flat surface in my apartment though, it ends up being used as storage space.

Company is coming tomorrow. A friend of my wife has an interview for the MD/PhD program at MUSC on Friday. Must clean.

I don’t know why, but the phrase “Soylent Green” has been running through my head for the past few days. Just pops ito my head for no reason, crashes into my current train of thought, and disappears. Then I’m left wondering “What the hell was that?!”. It’s like a hit and run or something. So I decided to see what I could find about this word Soylent.

• It’s a movie. Don’t know anything about it other than it’s a sci-fi movie about an overcrowded earth where people eat something called Soylent in various colours. Apparently the shocker is what Soylent Green is made from.
• It’s also a drink, no doubt fashioned to resemble something consumed in the movie.
• Soylent Green at Urban Dictionary
• A vegan, health food oriented co-op in Chicago
• A parody song

Well, this is one of the more entertaining alerts I’ve seen 🙂

Had a very delightful birthday evening today.

Escaped from work early, did some much needed grocery shopping, and then headed out for a delicious dinner at Dragon Palace. If you like Chinese food, there are only two places to go in Charleston: Dragon Palace and Red Orchid. Mmmm, oh so good…

Then it was off to Best Buy for some indulgent spending :). Didn’t leave quite as happy as the guy carting home the 50″ Panasonic flat screen TV though. Maybe someday…
