Lazy Sunday Afternoon

1) I've decided I like long hair, so therefore I will keep the length.
2) too much sleep can be dangerous. i can feel the lbs making me bigger.
3) can't wait to go to Boston next week. :)
4) work sucks the energy out of you.
5) i've been eyeing this kate spade bag on ebay. search kate spade maddie dot noel and you'll find it. it's been about a month or so and the price still hasn't gone down.
6) i'm getting a bit bored. but not really wanting to do anything except sleep, but I've slept too much.

functioning member of society

Hello from beyond the counter.

Buy Walgreens Brand so they can pay me more!

I finally get to do stuff that I didn't get to do as a clerk... like handle percocet, and amphetamines. Fun stuff.

I have new respect for pharmacists and technicians. Things are busier than they seem from beyond the counter. It's like a duck. You THINK it's just sitting in water, but it's paddling away so fervently that you'd think it's little legs can't possibly keep it afloat.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer gives an AMAZING treatment of Matthew 5-7 (Sermon on the Mount). Really, amazing. A new perspective on fixing my eyes on Jesus.

My commute is the reason why I came to San Francisco to live. I pass Golden Gate Park, UC Med Center, Haight Ashbury, Pacific Heights and the Presidio on my way to work. I see the Golden Gate bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, DeYoung and Downtown. I feel so lucky to live in the City.

Remember: BUY WALGREEN'S BRAND!

Cheesecake

As many know, i am VERY proud of my new york cheesecake. And I've been on a quest for the last two years to perfect that very cheesecake that I sought out to make (which turned out to be a failure) that first time. Those of you at 2520 College Ave. can attest to that. But alas, I think I may have found the crack-free perfection that I've been looking for.

Tips for cheesecake:
-you don't need to grind the graham cracker crust to a powder. The small chunks actually give the cheesecake texture.
-don't overbeat. This will introduce too much air into the cake and actually make it stiff. we don't want that, even though cakes are supposed to be airy.
-when baking, place a small bowl of water alongside it. This will prevent cracking, too.

People work in labs to find proteins, I'm working in a kitchen to find the perfect cheesecake.

Points of Future exploration:
Chocolate flavored graham cracker crust
fruit puree marbled cake
oreo cheesecake
chocolate mousse cheesecake
making glaze for the topping instead of fresh fruit (glaze with fresh fruit.. that sounds good, too)

Rosalyn is... SO SICK OF STUDYING

I'm excited about the summer.
Home, Boston, Work.

Not just regular ordinary work, REAL PHARMASYCIAN work. Fun stuff. I've decided to stay up here for the summer in case you didn't know already, but yup, I'll be working for Walgreens in the City. The cool thing is its only one busline away and so I'll have time in my morning and afternoon commute to read. (YAY!)

Here are some books that I want to read (finish) over the summer:
Cost of Discipleship
The Penelopiad - Margaret Atwood
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Four Loves - C.S. Lewis
Miracles - C.S. Lewis
Confessions - St. Augustine
The Great Divorce - C.S. Lewis

Not to mention at least one of Modern Library's Top 100 of the 20th Century.
