Vina's baaaack. She went up to San Francisco for 2 weeks. And she came back with a bag of Ghiradelli chocolates. We are so dead. The snacker is back. Plus my mom is staying with us and she cooks us breakfast lunch and dinner. Which is GREAT but not good for us. She was good the first couple of days... I asked her to stick to fish and veggies. But slowly she started slipping in some white rice with the brown rice in the cooker... and sautee-ing instead of steaming... and tonight she totally broke our agreement and made a pork dish. BAD!
Anyhow, along with chocolates Vina also brought this home:
It's a quaint little Japanese (or Chinese, since she bought it in Chinatown?) village-type model home with running water on the well. As the water runs the well moves up and down and makes a "tap, tap" sound. It was pleasant at first, kind of therapeutic. It actually serves as a great metronome for our nightly set of crunches and sit-ups.
But right now I'm in my room trying to watch the first part of the 4-hour Season Premiere of 24 and I have to replay each scene because I can't hear over the stupid "tap, tap"... someone shoot me! Auuuggghhh!
This is the first time I'm going to be watching 24 on TV. I watched all the other seasons either on DVD or iPod (hooked up to the TV of course, can't wait for TV!) and I was dreading the day I caught up to the current season and I'd be forced to watch it one episode per week. I was going to avoid it altogether and buy the season on iTunes halfway through the season so I could watch it on my own time but how can you resist a 4-hour premiere? :)
Okay, back to 24~
P.S. Saw a 24-hr Fitness commercial with a clever tagline just now... "No one ever says 'I wish I hadn't gone to the gym today.'"
