mighty morphin power soup
hello there party animals.
i only have a couple of minutes, because i'm heading over to david's in a little bit... where there will be a lot of dramatic writers doing weird things. that's drama.
apparently i live across the street from the student center. and i guess that means that i will be hearing live concerts through my window until 2am on any given night. that's weird.
today randie and i went to white plains so that she could go to the UPS store to send away michael, her laptop. for some reason, the entire time we were walking there (which took a long time, because i parked ten years away from where we wanted to go) i was anticipating the ups people being upsettingly uncooperative and incapable of doing an efficient job. to my astonishing surprise, however, the UPS store in white plains is chock full with the friendliest most helpful men ever. i kind of wish that i had something to send so that i could go back. the ups store isn't really the kind of place that you could go unless you had a really good reason to be there. you can't just walk in and say you're "just looking" like you could at dunkin donuts. oh wait.
so about the dining hall. the food has been a bit... displeasing lately. every night i cross my fingers for something good, but i never seem to find it. so tonight i used what they had to get myself an old fashioned saftey meal: macaroni and cheese with a cutup hotdog. healthy? no. filling? yes. delicious? well, it got the job done.
i hope that i have time to mention this before i get going. today when randie and i arrived at the hub, everyone else was already sitting down. we said hello to them, and then proceeded to go inside the hub to pick out our lunches. being that breakfast hadn't been too long before, i opted for pea soup - as it is green, and also not-so-filling. i got the pea soup and put it in the cup, which i intended on carrying without a box... but then my thumb reminded me that it is still recovering from a pretty bad burn associated with a hair-straightening accident that occurred the other day. leaving my soup behind, i left to get my box and proceeded to put the soup in the box and go pay for it.
when i sat down at the table, i was very excited to open my cup of soup and reveal its pea-soup-pigmentation *hello, obvious*. but when i took the cover off, i saw yellow! a potato-leak-soup pigmentation had somehow replaced that of my pea soup!
it turns out that i had really just left my soup next to an identical looking cup of potato leak soup. and because my life is a sitcom, i had grabbed the wrong one.
but seriously, the world felt like a really weird, magical place for a little while there.
