close call, and dinner plans

Holy shit, I almost got hit by a bus today O_O;;; Two more inches and I wouldn't be typing here. I was crossing the street, just when the signal turned to the flashing hand, so I assumed I was still good to go. I guess the bus driver didn't see me when he was turning, 'cause when I looked left it was bearing down at me at full speed!! Luckily I didn't freeze and managed to crutch myself out of the way, but the tire and side of the bus were like two inches behind me. Talk about escaping by the skin on your teeth!

Well, in other news, I'm almost done finishing up that analysis of the code I'm working on, and we're going to try scanning phantoms (basically big plastic cylinders of water with tubes in them) and rocking them back and forth to simulate motion, throw that at the code and see how it does. We'll have to come up with some way of rocking it besides manually doing it (standing there for half an hour, that's fun fun fun).

Dinner plans are finalized, Sun Sept 26 at 6PM. Just inviting max of 3-4, so I don't have to cook that much. :P Theme will be Asian-style, so I'm making Yuuan Yaki (pan-glazed fish with citrus and soy), rice with a bonito-topping, and green tea ice cream. Jess is probably bringing gyoza, and B'dette (if she ever gets back to me) will probably make something Japanese-y. Invited Lushi too, will have to tell her where I live later (her e-mail isn't working). It should be fun, and we might go see Hero (or Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle :P) after. I'll save the Eton Mess for C&M Night.

I'm probably going out this weekend with the KF peeps, will be nice to see them again as I'm not currently going to KF until my leg heals up. I see the doctor tomorrow, so hopefully he'll give me good news. Good thing that bus didn't hit me, or I'd be laid up for a lot longer!

cheers, Ange the incredibly lucky
