Parents are leaving for vacation in Mexico so I will be staying at their apartment with dog: someone has to walk and feed him.  Monday is a holiday, but that dog has a weird tendency to wake everyone up close to 6am, so doubtfully I will get any decent night sleep for the next week.  Replayed most of Plants vs Zombies between playing Castle Empire.  Decided to purchase Bulletproof and Rage since they were on sale for less than 30 dollars together with shipping charges.  What I am looking for is a better sale for Dead Island: reviews make me want to save more money to have less disappointment.  I have to wake up early tomorrow to drive parents to airport.  I have so much crap on backseat that I may need to let them drive and squeeze somewhere behind.  My car is not a family-size car and it shows.

Dental Again

Just came back from the dentist.  The job was done great, but looking at the bill of how much the rest of work would cost me makes me realize that I am not taking both vacations this year.  Next dental appointment is on March 7. Stuck on adventure in Castle Empire.  Saw Plants vs. Zombies on 2bucks sale and purchased it even though I have it on CD.  Played that most of yesterday's evening and most likely I will play it this evening as well.  Bought three lottery tickets (usually, just one): maybe subconsciously I am hoping to save on dental bills.  Hardly doubt it...and that makes me even sadder.

PRIMORDIAL ROOTS meal

After ordering from Ju Feng (bean curd vegetable soup, bean curd with broccoli, ice tea) for lunch, I got a brand new dish for dinner: minced 5 large tofu cubes (Sunrise brand) fried on two kinds of oil with cubed, thinly sliced sweet pickles, chick peas out of a can, cilantro base, thinly sliced garlic clove, pesto sauce, soba soup base (30-35ml)  for 10 minutes on each side *without salt, topped with Parmesano-Mozarella-Romano flavored soy cheese flakes that melted all over it in a very short time.  Something in this mix made crust of tofu slices taste like egg whites, for some reason.  Overall, the dish tastes really good.  Very big on protein for a vegan.  I came up with a great idea: build a cafe in a shape of a closet, with floors like shelves: "as I was coming out of a closet" could finally disassociate itself from the skeletons theme = idea for someone with money.

Dental

Had some small fillings done tonight, just came back.  At work ate just couscous and split pea soup with breadsticks.  Now I have to wait two hours before eating anything. Drank two Liquid Ice at work: the ordered box is disappearing pretty fast.  Good dentist: no pain, excellent results.  Insurance will cover one more session, then I'll have to spend my possible vacation money to fix the rest of mouth.  Too bad I can't afford titanium implants...maybe in next life, if I'll somehow get born here again.  But, most likely, if that happens, I won't be able to afford them in next one as well:)  It was not as cold as I expected, but it started snowing by 3-4 pm and it just now slowly warms into steady drizzle.

Today was an interesting day: seemingly plain and not so busy, yet there was some major bridging done.  After work I prepared a full saucepan of Ronzoni large shell pasta and ate it with soy cheese flakes and pesto sauce.  It was very tasty.  It was quite hot outside, with strong sunshine, yet the weather stations predict tomorrow will be a cold day.

will tomorrow be kind?

I purchased Duke Nukem Forever for 5 bucks on Steam (midweek madness sale)...and the game was worth it.  I like the multiplayer option, interesting idea to set up your own apartment as you progress in the multiplayer.  The game, overall, was rather good for a first-person shooter.  Progressed to level 38, I think, in Castle Empire.  Decided to improve economy of place before starting any new adventures.  Eating soy tofu pups on blueberry bagels, drinking cherry juice.  Жизнь удалась...
