Soulful House sessions on BBC 1Xtra hosted by Aaron Ross is just simply ear-candy. I think it's definitely worth a listen whenever anyone has time to kill. http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/

Missed Friday's blog. But that's okay, I'll just post it now. Scored another free lunch at work today. BOOYA. But it was Mexican food, so nothing special. Mexican food here is more authentic (read: tastier) than most Mexican places I've been to in Toronto so ... It's all good.

Most of the co-ops went over to Natasha's for what was supposed to be a "sleep over party" after work. We all ended up going home though. It was fun nonetheless. BYOB parties are always da bomb, especially when I was able to find $1.99 Triple Sec and Peach Schnapps at the liquor store next to Safeway. For those in the know, it's next to the Safeway on Shoreline and Stierlin road. (94043 area of course ;))

The whole thing ended up to be a movie marathon. H. Chan brought his laptop with him and jacked it up to the TV. I was quite impressed because, to be honest, I've never seen someone hook up a computer to a TV before. Strange but true! We watched a few movies (these movies were in DivX format) that were on his machine, ALL IN ONE SITTING.

Today: what did I do today? Gee I don't remember exactly. I knew I did grocery shopping and went to the mall in Santa Clara because Chris had to pick up his girlfriend's bracelet at Tiffany's (!!!!!!!!!). Yes. Tiffany's. Anyways that wasn't the cool part. The cool part was that we all decided to have dinner together. Naturally, I cooked . Luckily, they didn't die from food poisoning. The menu: soup with fuzzy melon things and baby corn in a chick broth base. Spicy garlic eggplant (Yu Xian egg plant?), with sauce provided by none other than Lee Kum Kee baybee! Steamed oysters with black bean sauce and minced garlic. I think I over cooked it but it was still good! Chris made Japanese style chicken curry. That was real good. I'm gonna try that sometime. Last was just a veg stirfry with black bean sauce. Everyone liked that one. WE were all quite happy after the meal. Then off to the hot tub at Oakwood with the full-timers.

Life was good to me today. I hope it'll stay like that, atleast for the next year or two. Good company and good food is Heaven on Earth.
