Another great day

For the record:

I had another great day (although I woke up at 8.30, and yes, that given the circumstances is early for me) So what did I do?:

1. I attended a PhD thesis defense of a fellow student. Her thesis was so good. All the people of her committee made very good comments and actually she looked so confident when she was answering their questions. I just hope that when my turn comes (don't ask when, after all, officially I am starting my PhD program this Fall), it will be like that!. Congratulations Simone!!!
2. I had a haircut because it was just about time!
3. I attended a dry-run (at least the greatest part of it because of reason 2) of the people presenting at CLA. (I actually learned some things!!). So, for all of you people, as a Klingon to fellow Klingon warriors I bid qapla?.
4. Later on, I, Raph, Tobin, and Josh went to TH for some drinks and Crazy Eights. Émile and Gustavo had to leave so they couldn't join us. I had a lot of beer there (4 or 5 glasses) but I also had a lot of fun (as always).
5. At around 8.30 we all left TH; Josh and Tobin went home (??) and Raph proposed to go see Monster in law, a suggestion I gladly accepted. So we went to Paramount, bought our tickets in advance and since we had some time before the movie started, we went to Reubens for dinner.

The movie was definitelyy funny and at some points it was completely hilarious. Again a great appearancee from Jennifer Lopez (there is a reason I did not say performance; that was Jane Fonda.) However, I have to admit that the whole theme is not that uncommon for me because Greek mothers in law can be really much worse!! (They are improving though...)

Off the record:

My original plan was to do things 1-3 and then go to the gym.

Well, then Raph happened... I drunk a lot at TH (that was not actually Raph's fault, but he got me to TH anyway!) In fact, I was feeling a bit dizzy as we were walking down McTavish. Not only that, but later he proposed dinner. So, no gym, all these sandwiches I had at Simone's lunch reception after her defense, plus dinner, plus a soda at Paramount (I needed something to help me digest), well, you figure it out! But, this is off the record...

Yes, that was a good day....
