Once again I have too much to do at work, so luckily I have very little to tell you about yesterday or last night. Whew! I had way too much for way too many days directly prior to that. And, I've felt like I barely had my head above water at work the last two days, but a lot of that is some kind of bad habits about staying on top of email, and I spent some time on something yesterday that, in retrospect, really could have waited.
Oh well. At least now the couple hundred emails I came back to on Monday are now down to a lean 17. I can see them all at once in my inbox, which I love.

As for last night, I rode my bike home from work, and Shobhit was all set to fry up the samosas that I asked him to make from the leftover dough and potato filling he had for what he made for dinner at Alexia's last Sunday—and which I have now brought to work for the "Farewell 3131 Potluck" at work, our final office social at the current office. How we'll do these things at the much smaller space in the new office remains to be seen. We can worry about that later, I guess.
I asked him to make about 20; he made, I think, 28? They were smaller than ones he made in the past, and he worried that not enough people will eat them, which is insane because Shobhit's samosas are wildly popular. I'll be shocked if the 20 I did bring have any left over in the end. We ate the other eight of them as part of our dinner last night, which probably should have sufficed on its own for me but Shobhit also fried up puris with the rest of the dough, to have with the potato "vegetable" as he likes to call all his Indian dishes (this was originally made for the potato filling for samosas).

We ate while watching this week's episode of
Alien: Earth, which was definitely a mixed bag, but I'm locked in anyway.
And I only learned yesterday that Terence Stamp
died this week—at the age of 87!—so I went looking for any movies of his that are available streaming. The selection was limited, but, even though it was a pretty small part, I went for the 1987 film
Wall Street, which I didn't even know he was in, and am not even sure I ever watched all the way through.
Being about finance, I knew Shobhit would lock in. I thought it was fine. It gave us something to do for the last two hours of the evening before I went to bed.
