Tofu & Starbucks

I got together with Long today for dinner afterwork.


He treated me out for Tofu and Starbuck's.


Yum, the food and fellowship was great!


We went to Becky's Starbuck's tonight too! She looks pretty good in her Starbuck's apron!

Thanks Long for treating me out for my bday!

TV rantings

"Grey's Anatomy" is getting another doc, this time a psychologist (they certainly need one with all those emotional / mental issues that everyone seems to be having). Also, another hook up between another intern and another attending, someone getting prego and somebodies getting hitched. Can't get enough "Grey's Anatomy" ? GA Season One is coming to Lifetime Network starting January 7th on 11pm / 10pm CST.
