The big swing dance event Josh and I have been advertising for is today (as it is technically 1:22 AM atm.) I'm a little worried about the carpools I've organized, or at least about the ones that involve my immediate friends, but hopefully my drivers will confirm plans with me tomorrow, so I can tell all their riders where to be and when ( Read more... )

Remember last summer, when my Livejournal was practically a food blog? Well, tonight I made myself a meal that included all of the food groups, and furthermore, was not all cooked in the same dish. This is... kind of unprecedented.

So busy! I went swimming at the St. John's College President's House dock last week, and Sunday I put on my bathing suit and went out on the sidewalk during a TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR and laughed a little on the inside at all the poor tourists who got caught in it. It wasn't all schadenfreude, though- I sheltered some people in our doorway (btw, our ( Read more... )

I concede the bathroom to you, enemy forces. Inch-long roaches, you can have the toilet bowl. You can have the sink- even that spot near the faucet you like so much. It doesn't much matter to me now. Besides, I stopped keeping my toothbrush in the bathroom a week ago, five days before this new onslaught ( Read more... )

So I squished a roach on the wall next to my bed tonight, as well as seeing one scurry under my bed. Then I walked into the kitchen at 11:30- which I had tidied up/wiped down the surfaces of JUST TODAY- to find a bug for (and on) every tile on the floor, and like 7 in the sink. The empty, scrubbed clean sink. It was a bit of an eldritch horror ( Read more... )

Drinking with my high school friends en masse was sort of weird. I didn't particularly feel the alcohol, and the group vibe wasn't that different since we're normally pretty silly and uninhibited around each other anyway. It was still weird, though ( Read more... )

...I'm so glad I'm leaving this apartment for a day/night to go to Michael's party. The kitchen sinks are still clogged even after I used half a bottle of Drano on each on Thursday (should I go out and buy another bottle? the pipes under the sink are leaking water, probably because the sinks are so full of the water I used to flush out the Drano) ( Read more... )

My a key is on the fritz so I'll be brief ( Read more... )

Ewww, it's really hot and humid outside, and therefore inside. I think if the landlord hadn't installed this window a/c unit in my room, I would have been a very unhappy camper this week (also: unable to sleep in my room ( Read more... )

Once again, I love the internet and leftovers. I had a ton of leftover cooked angelhair pasta from Esa cooking me dinner on Sunday (almost a whole box's worth) and I didn't want anything hot or complicated to eat tonight. So I googled "cold noodles" and found a recipe for cold sesame noodles! We happened to have all the oils and vinegars and ( Read more... )
