There's a new Indian restaurant, Chapati, in Darkest Edina, within striking distance of work. I met caoilfhionn there for lunch. I am full. Their lunch buffet is a little on the pricey side for lunch, being $8.75, but is very good. Mmmmmm.

Mmmmmmmm.

Happiness is a working laptop. Its name is ChooChoo Bear. ;-)

And working Dragon. It's nifty. Although this is still being typed, on Mikey's laptop, because ChooChoo doesn't have a network connection yet, since Mikey, who knows the WEP key, is not here right now. So I'll bug him about it later.

Other than that--Wheeeeee!
