awesome things

• I made a really delicious stir-fry with carrots, onions, garlic, peppers, fake sausage and "General Tso" sauce from Trader Joe's. I didn't eat the whole thing in one sitting. I ate half of it in one sitting, then got hungry again, and now I'm eating the other half.
• Higher education! So many of my friends are doing PhD-ful things, it's beautiful. Fantastic PhD news this week from the lindseykuper and gtv42 camps. I brought up my doctoral aspirations with one of my team leads today -- he said he'd write me a recommendation, woo! Big computer science ahoy. We'll see if I can keep my foot in the door at the Goog with internships...
• On the googlefront: Picasa. Beautiful. Like iPhoto, but faster and slicker, and for Linux or Windows. It found all my old photos. Including:

Wow! I never knew that Alex but he seems like an awesome one.

Hahaha, Vintage Rudnick seems to be the flavor of the hour. Last night, Ross launched a surprise tickle attack, and as I was already at close range, I responded with a quick fist to the stomach, proclaiming "One-inch punch!" as I did so. And then we both paused. And then went, "Wasn't that Alex's superpower back in, oh, 2003? One-inch punches to break car axles, or moving in great circles, something like that?"

(Or do we have false, mixed-up memories?)

(All of this obviously calls for a Power Rangers icon.)

ohhhhh, PhD?
Fancy.

I don't know how you do it, it's about all I can do to finish the masters right now.
