i watched an episode of House (from season 5) during breakfast. interesting episode. house is using methadone and leaves him pain free but changes his decision making process.

breakfast

bagel w/ butter
coffee
iced tea

we got stuck behind a tourist on the way to the vre today. i think the guy drove at about 40 half way down vint hill. as a result we missed the train at broad run and had to go to catch the amtrak train at manassas.

i felt really sick on the way back. i stopped at arby's and got a cup of hot tea. i sat in the front of the restaurant with windows above and on two sides. watched the rain pouring down and drinking tea. really helped a lot. don't know if it was the rain or the tea that helped the most.

i kept thinking of the song, the fire by television. it contains a line that goes "storms all that summer we stayed locked away. out in some room in the wind." i kept feeling like i was out in some room in the rain.

felt a bit better by the time i got home.

lunch

turkey, ham, and swiss on a bagel
corn chips
cookies
iced tea

snack

reese's peanut butter egg
iced tea

i watched another episode of house while eating lunch. in this one house encounters a patient who has lost the ability to control what he says. whatever thoughts pop into his mind he simply says.

dinner

chicken and dumpling soup (campbells)
freshly made bread

bread was from whole foods. bread and soup is hard to beat especially on a rainy day.

we watched an episode of st:tng (sixth season) during dinner. riker has been kidnapped by some aliens and is being hypnotized to extract info. i remember two rather simliar episodes with picard and i believe there is another with a simliar plot about troi. not a bad episode but a little too self referential.
