last 4 weeks...sukiyaki...bad movies

I'm in the home stretch...4 weeks and I'm done. But what a hellish 4 weeks it's going to be.

I just bought an electric pan, and I'm dying to make some sukiyaki, but it's really no good making the dish for oneself. I need to have some time to go to the grocery, get the stuff, and invite people over. Also--need to start looking up some T'giving recipes on epicurious, if I'm actually going to invite people over for dinner that day. All this damn schoolwork is getting in the way of my gustatory self-indulgence. Sad.


In more practical matters--I believe my GAO interview went quite well. Don't want to jinx myself, but I think I should be getting a 2nd-round out of this. Also, there are some possibilities w/ the Fed; although I'm not entirely in, I have a contact there who is passing my resume around...finally some payback on this degree.

Most importantly, I just received in the mail the fruits of my Amazon shopping binge, which I probably shouldn't have done, but it made me feel good at the time, as burned out as I was. I now have 2 sweet classic 1970's kung-fu flicks - a collector's edition of "Master of the Flying Guillotine" and Jackie Chan's "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow". This should keep me in B-movie heaven for a while.
