saturday is here

grr.. had to wake up early in the morning to be at the conference by 8.. tucked into a nice well-rounded continental breakfast there.. then slept heartily through the morning presentations.. got up for mine - passed off peacefully, scared the bio people away with the fluid mechanics displays in mine!! - then went for lunch to Ulrich's Tavern.. i would encourage everyone to follow the link and read the history of the place.. had awesome bratwurst and sauerkraut, honey mustard buffalo wings and more salad.. and downed two pints of buffalo's own Flying Bison Red Ale.. good stuff.. no chance i was going back to the conference after that, so i came home to 55 and crashed.

chilled out in the evening; had nice looong chats with my cousin ambika(she's seeing this italian guy, and moved outta home finally), shruti(from kgp, telling me about the joys, trials, and tribulations of married life), loretta(smi's room mate - her laptop decided to give up the ghost.. poor girl!! smi has moved to st. louis and bought a ford focus hatchback for 5k!! WOW!!) and ranj(will be flying into buffalo on thursday afternoon), then went over to 55; sank and vip had cooked rajmaha chawal. malvika had coloured her hair blonde, and was showing off the new look - very nice, very nice indeed. julia roberts eat your heart out! azmi and jason were also there, so we had a couple of drinks, and played 'Taboo'

after everyone left, kavin came over, and we sampled some more of the pleasures of Ms. Mary-Jane ;-)).. were good and buzzed by 4 in the morning.. crashed then to ths sounds of winamp's "ambient chillout sleep sleep sleep" - this station can really weird you out at times, but otherwise its amazing.
