happy halloween!!

another lazy weekend.. no plans as such.. all plans have been kept for next week when vip rents a car for his driving test - shopping for the house, returning the empties, going to the mall and wal-mart, camping in letchworth park and wine-tasting in the finger lakes :-)) woke up in the morning on saturday to watch premier league soccer.. then promptly went back to bed.. went to aldi's for food shopping. our weekly food restocking jaunts are quite fun, especially when we go to aldi. we usually already know what we need, and aldi is the kind of place that doesn't give you too much selection.. so our trips are more like viking raids.. smash and grab, loot and pillage.. then we pay at the counter, and share the spoils of war.. then we carry our respective huge loads back home, thank god its only a 5-10 minute walk (depending on how much we're carrying, and how high we are!!)

saturday was a warm day, kinda cloudy, but nice and warm.. we dared to venture out again in tshirts to play cricket.. the backyard looked beautiful, with the leaves fallen everywhere.

we got high in the evening and creative too.. vip and arul made mashed potato cutlets (aloo tikki) which were awesome, with chana masala and bread. then, perfectly sated, we watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 which nats had brought. i must encourage you all to go the site.. it's an amazing interactive experience!

hung out on the front porch checking out everyone walking past in their halloween costumes and stuff.. main street was crowded like crazy.. and it was damn windy too. we wanted to go on a walking expedition in the middle of the night, but then the combination of us being extremely high and it being extremely windy didn't really appeal too much.. ;-)) had some more milkshakes at night with nats and sank, and then watched Blair Witch Project.. but dozed off not too long into it.

finally a sunday to be thankful for in buffalo.. and not because of the weather either. the Buffalo Bills won! they steamrolled the Arizona Cardinals 38-14, with some excellent plays.. terence mcgee returning a kick for 87 yards.. willis mcgahee rushing 100+ yards for two TDs.. brian moorman punting repeatedly into the 20 mph wind to get excellent field position.. all round defensive excellence.. all in all, an early Thanksiving gift to us long-suffering buffalonians!
