Oy.. Research
Had another meeting with the research people today. Got my bone density and body fat tested, and met with a nutritionist-type person to discuss my eating habits over the past year.
Upon reflection, I am pretty disgusted. Apparently, I have the bones of an old woman, and am apparently a big fat, fatty - based on the body fat (although this makes me wonder about some of the people I see around me). Worrisome. On the bright side, at the pace I'm going, those numbers will be far more stomach-able (I think I made a new word. Woo!). And they serve as extra motivation to keep exercising.
As for the nutritionist-type-person. I did not like her. I felt she was rude, and the whole, looking at what I've eaten over the past year (10 months of dorm slop, thanks!) thing made me feel worse.
Checks
Hit up the bank again yesterday, as I said I would, to see what the hell happened to my checks. Turns out they were sent to the wrong zip code. I lived in 80310, and they were sent to 80010. Way to go! The bank comp'd my checks, and changed the address so they'd be all proper again. I shall be receiving them in 5-10 business days. Which means the checks I ordered will have only taken 5 months to reach me. Barring any more unforeseen difficulties.
Blazing Saddles
After the bank I hit up Target, and for the first couple minutes I couldn't remember why I had wanted to go. And then it hit me, and I rushed to the back of the store to look for the 30th Anniversary Edition of the Mel Brooks classic, Blazing Saddles. They've been remodeling, moving things around and the like. As a result, I've had a hard time finding things, and after a few minutes of befuddledness (another new word? Perhaps.) I looked for someone to help me. The woman I found actually perked up at my request, which I thought both odd and amusing. I think she's familiar with the movie, otherwise she'd been unsuccessful with helping previous customers. I lean toward the first conclusion.
Blazing Saddles in hand (or cart, as it were) I wandered the store for an addition twenty minutes. Picking up some Gatorade to replenish my inventory, as well as some White Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookies that caught my eye. I really need to stop buying cookies. Or ya know, eating them. Damn the phrase "On Sale!" (they weren't, but damn it anyway!) Back to the point. If you've not seen Blazing Saddles, I highly recommend it (hence it being in the "Favorite Movies" section of my profile.
The Stroganoff
Caught the bus back to my apartment, where Mari and I cooked the Stroganoff. The beef was bueno, the noodles were cooked to perfection (*flex*), and when we combined the two, along with the sauce, it was only okay. A bit of a let down. We'll play with the recipe a bit, and next time they'll be delicious. . . Hopefully.
