In fact, I don&#8217;t quite remember even having a weekend last week!  Unfortunately, it was to no avail as I generated no useful data =(  I did, however, get a chance to unwind a bit this weekend.  Yesterday night, some friends and I went out for a steaming bowl of Vietnamese Pho in Chinatown followed by desserts at the North End and a round of Mai Tai&#8217;s at a Jazz bar in Cambridge called <A HREF=\"http:\/\/boston.citysearch.com\/profile\/11497700\/\">The Good Life<\/A>.  This morning, I started off with a hearty Sunday brunch at Dunster House, with Chicken Cordon Bleu and my very favorite: fresh waffle with ice-cream and chocolate syrup (Yummy!).  Afterwards, a few of us decided to go play b-ball for a few hours, which was a really bad idea &#8217;cause I felt the waffle come back up a bit and it didn&#8217;t taste so good the second time around.  I also got to see the new movie <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.miramax.com\/chicago\/\">&#8220;Chicago&#8221;<\/A> this evening.  The film was pretty good, though as I expected, it felt more like watching an on-stage show than a movie.  The cinematography and dance numbers were pretty amazing though, and it certainly deserves its Oscar hype!  Right now, I just hope that I can drag my sore body into lab tomorrow&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My lab work&#8217;s been pretty busy for the past two weeks.
