Last Weekend Before Xmas

On Friday night, co-workers and I went to the Atlantic Chip Shop. Good stuff – I can’t believe how much fried food I could dare to eat! I somehow resisted the fried Twinkie.

I finished reading “The Rule of Four.” Check out the official website as well. Fascinating book, a DaVinci Code-meets-A-Separate Peace. The friendships of the characters, four seniors in their final semester at Princeton in 1999, grappled with their loosened-tightened bonds while one friend, Paul, is trying to finish his thesis on a mysterious Renaissance book – reminded me a lot of how the friendships in “A Separate Peace” were developed and torn apart and re-established and reflected. The mystery was very strange. I liked how the co-authors were themselves friends from college (one from Princeton, and the other from Harvard, who took on their dreams of being authors).

Christmas stuff in the works – shopping? Card-distributing? Um, yeah! I’m on it, really!

Transit Strike?

Well, a NYC tradition – awaiting the MTA vs. the Union thing. As of the hour that I’m writing this, negotiations continue. Hope continues, as 1010 WINS News reports.

I couldn’t avoid watching Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice,” could I? Well, I watched most of it. I posit that The Donald could have picked both people (they’re certainly quite fine, as compared to past two finalists, where one was overwhelmingly better than the other).

This week’s Dr House was cra-azy. House helps a Munchausen patient (the kind of patient who deliberately makes herself ill to get attention). Dr. Foreman has no clue that he’s just like House?! But, he’s younger, so he may still be able to avoid the mistakes (in life) House has made. Dr. Chase may be finally on the road of personal redemption? And, man, can Dr. Cameron turn her internal bitch on! We need more Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard is still quite a looker, even as he’s no longer in his first youth).

Let’s hope for a reasonable commute in the morning. Pretty please!
