Sushi, Phobias and New Friends

I didn't have any visitors last night. The word must have gotten around the mouse community about my room. If they come in here, they are going to die! LOL! Anyway, A1, A2 and I went out last night. For A1 and I this was our last opportunity to get out and have some fun before the hurricane passes through. It was nice and we had a good time. Now... nothing but the books for the next 13 days. (Sigh).

Back to last night... we went to Douzo near the Prudential Center for sushi. It was great. I had the Scallop Kiwi Roll, Philadelphia Roll and the fried tofu. YUM! I haven't had sushi since the last weekend in September. I really wanted sushi and am super satisfied at the moment at my success in obtaining some. This was the first time for A1. She said she liked it. A2 had been to the the restaurant before and said it was a good choice.
A2 was funny last night. Before we got to the restaurant, A2 lets us know that we couldn't use our chopsticks during dinner. HUH? A2 tried to explain that chopsticks made her skin crawl and made her nauseous. I thought well you don't use them and we'll be ok. No, seeing other people use them made her nauseous. It was wood in general! A2!!! We are going to a sushi restaurant; that's what people are going to be using. She asked if I wouldn't use mine. Part of me felt bad but I couldn't fulfill her request. I eat sushi with chopsticks and the people right next to her were doing the same. I did put the chopsticks down in my lap when I wasn't using them. She said just knowing they were there still bothered her. I tried... Oh well. I still love her.

We ended up meeting some pretty cool chicks, J and S, while we were out. J is a restaurant manager and S is a jewelry designer. After dinner we joined them for some drinks at a bar a few doors down. We plan to catch up with them again; really nice girls. S has a website of her jewelry up. If you wanna check it out, here it is. I can't yet get down with her prices but one day...
Ok... I'm out. I just finished washing clothes, updating you guys and now to the books. Have a great Saturday. Here's yo daily holiday ring-a-ling.

Dedication for the Mice to Come...

Courtesy of KD... Thanks girl!
Side note: A2 caught her a mouse this morning too. Landlady better be ready... there's a storm coming. AND... I had to end up disposing of the creature this morning. No one was around and I didn't want to leave it and come back to a yummy smell. I put my gloves on, closed me eyes, threw it in the trash and ran the bag downstairs. I can't believe this ish.

Mouse Funeral...

Caught it!!!! I just got me a mouse! Yuck and yay all at once! I repositioned one of the traps last night after seeing its little eyes looking up at me. A few minutes ago I was awakened by squirming and then click... yes, the mouse has moved on to mouse heaven or maybe he was a bad mouse and has gone somewhere else. Personally, I say it was bad because it has made my nights here HELL. Whatever the case may be... we are having a mouse funeral as soon as E's alarm clock goes off in 10 minutes. I'm not touching the mouse. Oh no... end of story!!!

Fifteen More Days... Still Counting

Life is still as it was yesterday. I spent most of the day studying Gastric Motility and Secretions for tomorrow's physiology quiz. This will be the last physio quiz for the semester. I will let out a little cry of relief after tomorrow's torture. Hold on...
I had to take a minor break to escort Zipper (the cat) back to his abode. I can't take all that yelping and pawing at my door. Zipper is the second visitor I have had tonight. I saw the damn mouse again. Oh did I mention that I saw a mouse a few days before I went home for break? I almost passed out. Please tell me how my room is now lined with traps and the mouse still managed to get within 2 ft. of me. I am going to lose my mind up here in Boston. E closed the first hole the RODENT came out of... today I noticed he has a new spot. He or she is coming in through the radiator hole. I hope he/she/it burns up. ARG!!! How many months left????
Back to my original thought... physio quiz. Am I ready? Who knows? Physio has not been my friend this semester. I have studied my ass off and still not made a grade I wanna live with. Still pushing though... it's got to get better. I hope.
Ok... Christmas cheer. Later!!

Uneventful...

My life has been pretty uneventful since my return to Boston... at least it seems that way. That's why my posts have been so short. I've got nothing to talk about. I could discuss DNA replication from Biochemistry and gastric motility and secretion from Physiology, but why bore you. Other than those two subjects (at the moment) there is nothing else going on. I thought about talking about the holiday but details are fuzzy in retrospect. I'll try to post more often during the next break. Ok... well I wrote something. Here's your daily holiday jam.

Oh... random fact found on the Internet. Alabama was the first state in the United States to declare Christmas a legal holiday in 1836. Seventy-one years later, all states had declared Christmas a legal holiday. What state was the last one to jump on board? It was Oklahoma in 1907. I wonder what took them so long?!?!

Not As Productive As I Had Hoped

Today was supposed to be the day to catch up on a lot of stuff... it didn't happen. I will say that I got some work done, but it wasn't nearly as much as I intended. I will try again tomorrow... (sigh). I gotta get back into things on the SERIOUS tip tomorrow. More Christmas tunes for you...

Back At It... For Three Weeks

Hello folks... I'm back in Boston. I had a FANTASTIC holiday! I hope you all had the same. I can't even go into everything I did; I would end up writing a small novel. Short version... I caught up with all my folks in Atlanta and Georgetown County. I loved it. The break was exactly what I needed. So what now? I'm back and ready to hustle the next three weeks until the next break: Christmas. So here's a song... expect more for the holiday!
