there are a few new pictures here from the weekend. a few of us had dinner at benihana's and played board games afterwards on saturday. there are a fair amount of photos of sammy's new 'do - a perm. crazy. and the permed hair expanded during the evening.

i want to claw my eyes out. i wage my own private war on pollen.

i was at work today...and my friend elizabeth loves the indigo girls.

elizabeth: i think dr. lung likes the indigo girls because he smiles/laughs everytime i mention them.
me: elizabeth, trust me...he has no idea who the indigo girls are.
elizabeth: oh yea, he listens to slow jams...

and then we laughed.

and then i told her that we have a friend, who's last name is lam, so someone once called him slow jam lam. and then we laughed some more. hahaha. sorry dennis. haha.

wendy and i were talking about the nick and jessica variety show that was on abc last night. wendy and i agree that she's beautiful, except when she sings because she makes ugly faces. to quote wendy, "she makes me want to be blind." [when she sings] "you could park a freakin' car there." [as her mouth is so large.] i laughed...and laughed and laughed.

HE IS ALIVE. happy easter.

i got to visit joana and owen today! yay!

i'm at work and there are no patients today. i love it. that means we get to play whatever fun music we want all day long. so far we've gone lilith fair and heard the indigo girls [my coworker loves them...i mean loves them.] we had some 80s cover songs in raggae style courtesy of the 50 first dates soundtrack. a little cuban flavor with songs from dirty dancing: havana nights [don't laugh. it's fun music.] and now we're in our afternoon soul mood with joss stone, moving to a little norah jones later. we may have to go back to the cuban though. and i sort of want to hear some elton john since tuesday's american idol, for the most part, butchered the songs.

monday night was garrett's last night in seattle. to celebrate [not his departure, but his mini-break back home], we hosted a potluck and games night. there was a lot of food and whatever was left, we made the guys take home. then we played scene it! i didn't win again, but i did get to answer lots of questions. all that time reading celebrity/entertainment news - actually...i can't even call it news... - celebrity/entertainment gossip - is finally good for something! garrett's team won. the answer was frankenstein. it seemed fitting that he win. he was also the big winner of another game, poker. well, by big winner i mean he won like $9, maybe $10. the buy-in was $1. it was also the first time i'd played poker for real money. i know, $1 isn't exactly "real money." but to me it is, as i'm not a good gambler, and therefore not fond of losing money, especially when i know i could be using that money to buy something concrete. naturally, i was the first one out. but that's fine. i did get to say "all in." sadly, it was all of something like $10 in chips.


garrett and his winnings...

afterwards, kristie and i watched gigli. well, kristie actually watched it; i fell asleep halfway through. i need to watch the other half to determine if it really is as bad as people say.

earlier, siobhan, cora, and i went shopping around fremont and it was beautiful, weather-wise. the clothing and handbags at the stores were also beautiful, but i restrained myself from indulging. afterwards, i went to overlake to visit james, joana, and baby owen. at 6 lbs 1 oz and 18.5 inches tall, owen is one cute baby! he's got tons of hair and it feathers around his face and over his little elfy ears, with a little bit of sideburn too. so cute. pictures can be seen here.
