i'm never trying to cook anything again
hopefully the words "sorry about trying to kill you" while a roommate wanders into a kitchen full of DISGUSTING CLOUD-GRAY BURNING SMOG while i try desperately to remove all of the smoke from the kitchen while coughing every five seconds will never have to leave my mouth again.
also
vanity_no_fair introduced me to southern bbq today and it was pretty good. i really disliked bbq stuff in WI and was sure i would always hate it, but i like it here.
i'm also kind of anxious and updating uselessly since this time next week i'll be driving to WI. as much as i'm looking forward to the drive, i'm kind of dreading it and hoping my car holds together.
as a third also, i think it's cute that my dog is popular at one of the dog parks here. whenever a fight begins to brew, he rushes to it and barks in the faces of the other dogs until they break away from each other, staring at him with a "what the hell" kind of expression while they scamper away. afterwards, he goes to chase other dogs and repeats the process the second any of them begin to become too vicious with each other. there's a delicate line: he's ok when they play growl and leap at each other, but the second he senses something aggressive he's right there, barking at them.
the owners of those particular dogs have high praise and coo "he's like a mediator!"
i used to wonder if he was really that smart and if that really was his intention -- i used to worry that he just wanted to fight himself, but after seeing it happen so many times with him never snapping at another dog, i finally realised he actually is that intelligent and he doesn't like it when other dogs fight. i think it's cute;;;;
