I expected it to rain yesterday except it never did and now we're in the 70s. It does not feel like February.
Tried several new things this weekend as well: liked dolma (courtesy of Lucy), liked the lemon-ginger infusion thing from Tazo (tasted like the herbal tea thing they have of the same name), didn't like the TeaZazz thing (it's supposed to be carbonated mint green-tea, yet somehow the mixture of my favorite things was ...rather terrible, really, given that I had to dilute it with juice to drink it). The peanut butter with celery combination, at the suggestion of the girl from the grocery store, was interesting. If I took it with enough peanut butter it's not bad, but it does defeat the purpose of eating celery as a healthy snack. I think I still prefer it cooked.
I went to the Getty Villa with Lucy & her family (well, minus her dad) this weekend! The gardens are pretty neat and I kept getting distracted by the carvings on the ceiling and tile-work on the floor etc, while most people are photographing the statues. Annie, you would've really loved the place. In their signet ring collection there're stuff with the profiles of people you know, such as Octavian. (Yes I typed "people you know" on purpose.) We also finished watching Merlin, which was very shiny (or as Lucy said, "lighting-y"). There's no redeeming value, but it was entertaining. I like it.
Lucy's grandpa is vaguely intimidating. Due to a mistake in communication Lucy was dragged out of bed at a quarter to nine on a Sunday. I felt bad, except for the part where I mostly didn't because it meant we could go wandering around outside.
Coraline is creepy. I think I find cutesy things creepier than blood and gore, actually, though this may be a beneficial side-effect of physio (or just, you know, the fact that I have to read so many biomed papers with cadaveric animal parts). The 3D was much better than I expected. I miss having cats.
Will start transfection in lab this week. Hopefully. Currently still have no spot to stay in lab, but at least I will have cell lines?

Glad you enjoyed the dolma and the villa :)
Grandpa is just overly helpful. Grandma's worse, actually, but she's much more of an introvert. And no need to feel bad (not that you were, anyway ;P), I was going to get up in a few minutes anyway. I had woken up a few times already, but I'd gone back to sleep.
