A very simple dinner this evening, especially in light of our most recent meals (especially Saturday’s dinner). Since Wendy has rehearsal for THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Falcon Theater tonight, I stopped on the way home at a Chinese restaurant and got some steamed dumplings and fried rice and sat in front of the television and ate it.

Now, I don’t want you to think that I’m wasting the evening — far from it. I’m doing laundry, have already worked out today, and am working on three (count ’em three) small projects (doing bugsquarshing for a Linux-based backup tool, returning a bunch of long-overdue phone calls, and working on the website) this evening. So, it’s productivity in a quiet way, but when these items fall off my to-do list, it will feel very good.

Despite feeling like crap on toast the whole day, I made it out to King’s Mazda to get my oil changed after work. Once that was done (and my tires rotated and balanced, and my car’s oil filter changed — all the indicated work for a car at 15,000 miles), I stopped by IRON CHEF GRILL, an Asian restaurant, where I had dinner at the sushi bar.

I enjoyed a couple nigiri — fresh salmon and warm, toasty eel, along with soup, salad, and some Yaki Soba. I then came home and promptly fell asleep on the couch, where I stayed until Wendy got home from rehearsal.
