My roommate has brought us a cat. I'd always believed that cats were generally quiet pets, but this one seems to be determined to defy convention. At least most of our furniture is in such shape that a few cat scratches won't show up very much ( Read more... )

Hmm... So much commotion. How distressing. I suppose death must come even here.

Nevertheless, I have no intention of barricading myself in my room. And Siegfried seems to be of the opinion that I should get out and socialize more often, which is probably so. Would anyone care to be my escort? I assure you I am charming company.

[This entry is private.]He's gone. I came home from work, and all of his things were gone, and so was he. Back to Germany, I suppose, just like he said he would. I'll probably never see him again ( Read more... )

On the other hand, Siegfried has declared a moratorium on dining out until the cost of the desk has been made up, and that is somewhat less enjoyable. I know more about camping in the jungles of South America than I do about cooking in a

Well, that was an entertaining little day out.

Not only did I get some advertising done, but I made forty-five soels! ^_^

It is good to have my room painted at last. The flowers liven things up nicely. Red jasmine is for foolishness, but it is the kind of folly that brings joy instead of sorrow ( Read more... )

Today has been productive. I think I may have found a job of sorts. A little place that makes and sells small home furnishings has offered to let me display my work in their store in exchange for a small share in the profits, and they'll put me to work decorating odds and ends. They did say I might have to do a few other odd jobs when that kind of ( Read more... )
