Work was a bit rough today. NMR wasn't working too well, was feeling particularly stressed about the poster presentation...
Tried to give blood. They told me I didn't weigh enough. What else is new? Going to see if I can try some other blood donation centers with slightly more lax requirements...
Had an amazing barbeque with Will, Dmitriy, Blane, Andrew, and Lucy. Pineapple, onions, bell peppers, corn, tofu, sausage, steak... Grilled peaches are absolutely delicious. I manned the veggie grill and Dmitriy did the meat grill haha. Food was *so* good. Will spent like $300 at Costco and refused to let us pay him back, insisting that most of it was for him. Super sweet. Had a lot of fail moments while grilling - definitely cut my thumb a bit chopping onions. I felt like I did but couldn't find the cut at the time, but I can see it now. It's barely there though.
Had Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars for dessert! Dropped half of mine on the ground when I was gesturing to make a point about something or the other... It was a pretty hilarious moment.
Played pool on a very obviously slanted table. All of the balls just wouldn't stop rolling until they hit the left bumper. Made for a very interesting game. Played with Andrew against Dmitriy and Sid. In the game of Archstone San Bruno v. Archstone SSF, the table wins. (But for the record, San Bruno won. *Super* close game though!)
Went to watch Wolverine with Daniel, his brother Sam and friend Frank. Pretty good movie - mindless entertainment really. More violent, or at least graphically so, than the previous X-Men movies, at least from what I recall. It was a lot of fun though; I'm really thankful that Daniel invited me. =]
Off to try paddleboarding in Half Moon Bay tomorrow! We'll see how that goes haha...
