this saturday carlos and i ran errands in what has been the worst weather of the year so far. whole foods, dominick's, home depot... it took about 4 hours to do everything even though they are all at the exact same intersection, you had to drive into each one's parking lot in the most retarded ways. i decided i would cook this morrocan chicken that my friend david always makes because i had been craving it. i invited julia and heath over and went to town. 3 hours later circa midnight i was rolling on the floor i was so drunk from wine and my hands smelled like curry and onions (part of which came from the chicken marinate and part of it came from the
yassa i had the night before which is basically onions, palm oil, and spices). i hadn't been happy, goofy wine drunk in so long it was nice. i passed out while watching something in my office in bed with julia and heath who allegedly left at 4am. caitlin came by as well... i made enough chicken for 10 and we seemed to total it quite well with just 5 people. (on a side note the attorneys here have a lunch every monday and today they have ben pao / chinese and it smells so good... i know where i am going today)
the rest of the weekend was thrifting, cleaning, and getting the apartment back in livable shape. i need to find a sofa sleeper so i can get rid of my extra bed in the office but still have a guest bedroom as it has been so heavily used (if you need a place to crash in chicago by all means check out chez trent!). and really, i have been watching movies in there and i might just get a huuuuuge monitor instead of a flat tv, it makes more sense. and a wii, and a volcano, and a... hooray for consumerism! seriously though, i need a wii and a volcano.
tonight is the heroes finale and i am so pumped. except i know the cliffhanger will be a joke. bastards!
now to find the perfect chinese lunch...
