salad days before the beef

We had a slow morning yesterday of coffee, biscuits and gravy, and eggs, and then spent most of the early afternoon sorting and unpacking. We got out of the house late in the day, and made a trip to Target and the grocery store for a few items.

It's strange to be cooking for two again- I tend to snack through the day, so Saori was not quite filled up with my dinner of a bowl of rice and a handful of dry salad.

We ended up going over a friend's house for some appetizers, drinks, and games. Trivial Persuit was my (bad) suggestion and was quickly abandoned when more people arrived. Played a few rounds of Scattergories, but then we decided to head out before getting involved in a late game of Cranium.

Still pretty cold, and the snow is still on the ground, but at least it's sunny out. I've got a lunch meeting today with the head of the Young Architect's Forum and one of our professors about setting up a discussion of IDP (the Intern Development Program), the standardized system for recording hours of professional practice- a requirement for anyone who wants to become a registered architect. It's a small step towards fulfilling my role as the VP of professional in the GAC.
