Total domestic goddess day...

Sun Feb 22 19:34:54 EST 2004
Total domestic goddess day... did a lot of cooking. Made that saag paneer with tofu, chicken biryani (Indian rice pilaf with whole eggs, yum!), pork and shrimp wontons, and vegetable soup. Maybe with all of that, I won't have to do any cooking for the rest of the week... sounds good to me. :) Also, put a batch of oatmeal muffins (with orange zest and walnuts) in the oven... it's a diabetic recipe... I hope it isn't gross. :p To add to the domestic goddessness, I did laundry, cleaned, vaccuumed. It was a very productive day.

Had another interview on Friday... they said they wanted me to come in for a second round. It's a company that is really close to my house--which is great. My officemate is also going there on Tuesday for an interview. So, both of us might jump ship... or, maybe I'll go work in Europe for a little bit. :)

Also on Friday, I installed the new NEC DVD+R/-R/RW that I got! Whee, worked well... except that I had the jumpers wrong the first time... so, my machine froze. I also vaccuumed the inside of our server... so it is all souped up and clean. :) I was mad that the drive didn't come with any cables or screws (that's what you get for buying it cheap), but thankfully, I had everything I needed. It is an 8x drive for both -r and +r... which is harder to find. I definitely wanted the 8x for -r, since dvd-r media is cheaper for some reason. And, of course, it is black, to match my bad-ass black server. It also burned a regular cd-r at 32x--impressive! At least, I was impressed. :p

Oh, some funny thing. I got a little post card from Sony-Ericsson, saying they were giving me a FREE phone upgrade, with no strings attached... but, the phone is not as nice as my current phone. And, I didn't ask for it... they say on the card that they are just going to send it to me. So, how is it an UPgrade if the phone is crappier than the one I have had for two years? :) Hehe. Well, maybe I can salvage parts of the phone or something. :) Anyone use AT&T and want a color sony-ericsson T226?
