Hey, I managed to update every weekday last week! Hurray for me.

Saturday was a quiet, lazy day, though “lazy” for me means that I completed ten tasks instead of twenty.

My primary goal this weekend is to catch up on Gundam Seed Destiny, so I watched a handful of episodes yesterday. I’m now up to episode 32 (out of 50, probably), so I ‘m now well into the main plot. The show is finally establishing some solid characterization for one of the main characters who, up to now, has mostly just been a jerk.

But I’m impressed with Destiny thus far. I think it’s one of the better Gundam shows, which says a lot. It helps that it’s a dark show, and Gundam is often best when it’s flat-out serious.

I also made some Beef with Broccoli, thanks to a recently-purchased 1960’s book on Chinese cuisine. I haven’t been able to screw up any of the dishes yet, and the Beef with Broccoli turned out well (but a bit too salty). All these dishes are tremendously easy to make, too; just slice up some meat, slice up some vegetables, toss ’em in an oiled pan for a few minutes at appropriate intervals, and you’re done.
