Lots of Chocolate Cake

I finally got around to uploading newer pictures. Look to the right and scroll down :D

When I came to the lab this morning, Vicky told me that it was Thomas' birthday yesterday. I don't know him that well, so not getting him a card was fine.
Vicky and her friend got him a present and a chocolate cake. Thomas himself also brought in leftover birthday cake - more chocolate!
The cakes were both really good, but the frosting was a little sweet.

I also got some work done today. I needed to organize my scripts a little bit (otherwise I get confused about what each of them does, in what order I called them, etc).

I also got a password today, for my University of Auckland username. It only took me how long... about four weeks? Bureaucracies work slowly...

On my way home, I found a cute little Japanese supermarket. It was immaculately clean and there was no single item labeled in English - man, was I lost! I picked up some random candy, just for fun, and some Daifuku (you can't go wrong there... most of the time!).
The candy turned out to be a rip-off! There was a little plush animal in the carton, and two hard candies... sad.
I also stopped by the regular supermarket, and picked up some smoked salmon! I thought I should treat myself to some good fish :)

smoked salmon? delish delish!

ich hatte heute abend sticky rice, brokkoli mit soyasauce, und pork roast. Und obwohl ich keinen Pork roast mag, war er dann doch sehr leckerr.
