The devil is in the details

Grrrrrr

So on Thursday night, E. and I went to Harvard Square to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Brother Jimmy's, where they serve EXCELLENT southern food of all types (mmmmmm barbeque and hush puppies). When we got there, we were informed that the restaurant was closing as of Saturday (as in today! Oh no!) and that they were only serving a limited menu at that point (which included neither hush puppies or barbeque). When we talked to the very nice hostesses (who volunteered to turn around while we looked at the menu so that they weren't pressuring us to decide to stay) about why they were leaving, they said it was because the rent for that particular building was too high, and that they were looking in to moving close by. I find that explanation a little fishy in that January-March are their biggest months (due to basketball) so it is odd that they are having money issues now, but I also remember that this building was previously the Boston House of Blues (in fact, it is a house and was the original House of Blues in all the land) which closed for similar reasons. Either way, this totally sucks. If it opens back up, all Bostonians reading this will have to frequent the new location so that they can stay open.

As for what's up with me-I had a very busy day at the lab yesterday and I have to go in tomorrow afternoon/evening. Other than that, I'm back in lazy mode. So far today, I have downloaded from ITunes and updated by IPod. I'm considering going downtown for some primping (my hair is beyond bad shape at this point. It needs to be cut desperately) but I think I've ruled that out due to weather. The movies aren't out of the question, though. The only problem with those options, of course is that they involve a lot more effort than internet surfing/further blog posting. (Okay, maybe they don't involve more effort than blog posting, because further posts would be about the FDA and would require my doing some online research which would involve reading some things that look suspiciously like work-related items.) I need to stop with this weekend laziness, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. It would certainly be helpful if the weather would cooperate.
