It’s the start of a long weekend, so I left work a little early. One of the labs I need support from told me that I should expect help on Tuesday at the earliest, so I thought that was a sign that I should just go home at lunchtime. I had lunch with my mom at a Korean restaurant that’s in a gas station and that’s where I found out that you shouldn’t eat the spicy noodles using standard noodle-eating techniques. Eating noodles with chopsticks usually involves a lot of slurping and that means the pepper flakes go straight into your throat and immediately trigger a cough. My mom had the curry and didn’t have the same problems I did.

So, I decided to make good use of my time off and watch a lot of the TV shows I had missed this season. NCIS was fine, but watching too many episodes of CSI was kind of gloomy. Too many episodes of The Office is kind of sad. It’s a good thing I had Bones and Chuck on the list as well.

So there you go. I finally had some time to be a couch potato. It was nice.
