Over the past two dinners I've updated my parents on the newer Fedoras, the existence of Chromium (speaking of which, does anyone else want to try out Flow before I wipe my USB stick?) and the general gadgetry as I know it. In turn my parents re-introduced me to playdoh (don't ask me why mom got me playdoh, I have no idea) (yes they try, they really do, but...). Mom's also swapped my mp3 player (the one with the glitchy earphone port) with an Onyx that...I think my dad got for her, actually, that neither of them really knows how to use. It's kind of like how I got Zen, and the Onyx, I've discovered, have twice the memory of my current mp3 player (4G as opposed to 2), and an fm radio, which I missed when I upgraded to my current one since the one I had from 2006 had a radio built in. Have tried out radio (quality a little iffy, but tolerable) and will try out the mp3 player part tomorrow. I kind of like how it looks. It's tiny, black, and cute (and of course very shiny) --i.e. the design is a bit like a very petite ipod.
Went to library today. Got three books. Finished reading one of them this afternoon and wow, I have missed reading fiction. There's something about having that book in your hand.... Am currently pondering whether or not to spend the entire day at the library tomorrow. There're some stuff to work on and the library, under normal circumstances, would be more ideal for my focus. However, it's the holidays and my experience today told me that the library is...rather noisier than usual. Okay, it makes me want to lock myself in the basement of our research building (where I'm pretty sure there is still wi-fi), so I'm still dithering. Maybe staying at home will work if I just drank enough tea?
Completely unrelated to this is the cookie that my mom brought home the other day from work (apparently the management was handing out cookies to everyone or something). I have never cared much about St. Valentines or thought what an ideal valentine should be like. Now I have decided: my ideal Valentine is someone who will bring me a long-stemmed cookie because, seriously, long-stemmed chocolate chip cookie. The only way it can be more awesome is if it photosynthesized, in which case I probably will not eat it, but keep it as a pet and name it Alice.
Over and out.

Playdoh is AWESOME. Well, the American stuff is kinda weird and smelly in an artificial way. The Russian version is awesome.
Did you mean to include a picture of the cookie? I am curious. Long-stemmed?!
