Early Birding

I met up with JY, ET and AR and had an early dinner at Mission Chinese Food NYC.  That's right Kids, the restaurant of my San Francisco dreams has opened a branch in the city where I live.  We ordered: Smashed Cucumbers in Garlic Sauce, Red Braised Pig Tails, Fresh Tofu Poached in Soy Milk, Salt Cod Fried Rice (of Course), Thrice Cooked Bacon, Mapo Tofu, and Sizzling Cumin Lamb Breast.

It was a mighty fine meal, after which I headed home and passed out at 8pm.  I cannot marshal together the words to describe my levels of food happy after this meal so I will not even try.

I woke again at 3am and have not been able to go back to sleep.  It was a solid 7 hours of sleep.  Yesterday MG told me that she had been up since 3am and unable to get back to sleep.  So she started working and had been very productive.  Perhaps a seed was planted at that point.

I am not sure that my time has been all that productive so far.  In this time, I have watched a couple of episodes of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

I had a cup of apple sauce.

I looked up how to guides on repairing the grout in your tile and how to seal the wall joints around the tub.  It looks pretty straightforward except for the part where you have to let it cure for 2 days and cannot use the shower.

I got a voucher to take a speed reading class and found a piece of online speed reading software, called spreeder.

I tried to read about Big Data, because LinkedIn told me to.

I pondered subscribing to Spotify.

I have played around with Mozilla Thimble.

I am starting to feel a little bit sleepy again, I blame the big data.
