pure awesome-ness

 No word on the job I applied to yet, but today was awesome because.....

...there is a certain Bulgarian grad student who used to be a chef.  For no reason whatsoever, he makes these delicious dishes and drops them off at the office from time to time. 

Today he brought some kind of eggplant parmesan and this giant loaf of cheesy garlic bread. 

When I was doing the 88 temple pilgrimage in Japan I usually stayed at the little family-run inns.  I was served eggplant so often that I grew to hate it and swore it off for at least a year.  When this guy makes it though, I cannot get enough.

my lunch

....and my friend hooked me up with some Usher & Akon tickets for April in Orlando! What! what!!!

  My goodness, I live a sweet-ass, pampered life.
