use real butter

Days when I can devote all of my time to working on the Big Diss (BD) are stressful, but manageable. Days when I go to work in Boulder AND try to work on the BD are surreal. I can do both, but somewhere in the middle my brain hits potholes. Like calling people by the wrong name. I did that a lot today. Or forgetting what I was doing two seconds ago. I did a lot of that too.

Today was also gluttony day because I went out to lunch with work folks (to Laudisio – so good!) and then there was that fancy reception at 4, and then we went to dinner with our neighbors at the Sundance Cafe. I tried to keep it under control because of the heartburn issue, but had to get one of these at dinner:

american bacon, kell – it’s the best damn stuff evar…

Man, was that good or what… Then I worked some more on my thesis tonight. I am at the stage where I want to work on my thesis – not because I like it, but because I believe I can write it up.

Pet peeve for today: Talking with people who make absolutely no sense even though they are speaking the same language.

On our way to dinner, I came upon a giant cow. It was the Chick-Fil-A cow in front of the St. Julien Hotel! There were a lot of cops and official-looking people. It was some promotional thing for NASCAR. NASCAR in Boulder… *shudder*

i love that cow

Tonight, we reviewed The Med, which is a very popular establishment among the young and lively population of Boulder. The Med has a reputation for terrific tapas, a hoppin’ happy hour, and good food. I’ve dined here before and enjoyed my lunches and happy hours thoroughly.
