Work was inconsequential today. What I really want to discuss is family time. I came home around five and began prepping for family time dinner -- I made a lemon cake, caprese salad, and truffle butter pasta. Ritu came home around 6:30, and we waited for our friends to arrive; technically dinner was supposed to start at 8pm, but we watched "Bring It On" and eventually our friends arrived between 8:30 and 9:30pm.
Eventually we reached quorum -- me, Ritu, Adit, John, Jessica, Oniel, and Stephanie. We had a perfectly lovely family time, replete with talking, laughing, music (include "All the Way up to Heaven" twice), eating, and watching "research" videos of copulation on MRI. We ended it all with a candle ceremony for Ritu and Steph - the candle ceremony started when Claude left for the east coast, and Oniel requested it for Ritu Rani tonight. So, we all sat in a circle, lit our candles, then went around and said nice things about Ritu and Steph one by one before blowing our candles out. It was all v. ridiculous and lovely at the same time, and a perfect conclusion to family time. The east bay-ers all went back to the pit of despair that they live in, and Adit, Ritu, Steph and I went to a bar nearby, where we proceeded to make the tragic mistake of drinking more. Now we're all drunk, and I should really go to bed -- I intend to spend the entire weekend doing as little as possible, hopefully only opening my laptop to write blog entries. Goodnight!
