It’s been drizzling since this afternoon, but we went ahead with our plans to bbq some steaks for dinner. We all went over to Aaron and Christopher’s apartment and used the grills there. They live in Lyman, which has a reputation of being the nicest of grad housing here. It was indeed nice, but also reminded me a lot of the apartments at Tech. Same style — long hallway with doors off either side, apartments with living room, bathroom, small kitchen, and two bedrooms. Same style furniture.
Dinner was great. I joined Aaron and Nick for a trip to the grocery store this afternoon around 2:00, we came back and made pasta and cut up vegetables and marinated the steaks. They were finally done around 7:00 and we ate and had Aaron’s peanut butter cheesecake for dessert. I got to meet Chihuahua the chinchilla, who is very cute and soft even if she was jumpy and scared. It was a fun time.
Now I’m home for the evening, and happy. Normally I’d be depressed to be sitting at home at 9:30 on a Saturday, but I had such a great day. So now I’m going to try to get a little homework done, and then get to bed at a reasonable hour because I’m still a tired girl. I may try to get up in time to go to church in the Memorial Church tomorrow. I’ve been wanting to go all quarter and haven’t yet. Perhaps tomorrow.

Ok, so I just watched Saturday Night Live, and you know, it’s not nearly as funny as it used to be. I haven’t watched in a long time, but tonight I caught the end of “Shakespeare in Love” on NBC and saw a promo that Gwyneth Paltrow would be hosting SNL, so I figured I’d watch since I like her and all. But it just wasn’t that funny. The majority of the sketches aren’t funny as much as they’re just plain crude. I don’t think I laughed but once or twice. Am I right, or am I just old? I think I’m right.
