rice cooker woes, the pains of fandom, and upending my whole life plan (ONE OF THESE IS DIFFERENT)

Nov 29, 2010 22:09

So, while I've got a solid two-three months to think about it first, I am at this point about 90% positive that, when the time comes for me to buy a house next spring, I'll be buying a place in New Orleans rather than Chicago. ( explanation for them as are interested )

moving, fringe, cooking, ugly betty

i was watching csi miami today and they were questioning the guy-who-got-murdered's pool boy... named Peter Bishop! :)

Peter is welcome to be my pool boy any old time.

I, too, try to shut it off right away, but the bottom coating seems okay. I'm going to start trying larger amounts of rice and see if I can't get another few months of use out of it.

i think it might be busted. (the rice cooker.) i had a beautiful little one from target that i used ALL THE TIME and that is pretty much what happened. luckily i was moving so it didn't bother me too much (it was red!) and then my mother finally told me the secret to cooking rice over a stove (a careful ratio of 2 to 1), so i am doing okay. though i still want my red cooker back. as soon as i move, i'm pretty sure i will be picking up a new one.

and - fetid swamp! this is such a fortuitous moment. i am actually possibly thinking of . . . southern alabama for two years. TWO YEARS in mobile, alabama. i do not know how smart this is, but the fact that you are considering roughly the same kind of type area . . . any thoughts on how a yankee like me could survive in mobile? is it the worst idea ever?

I MISS YOU.

(wherever i go, it seems, i will have to buy a car also. it's terrible.)

I am unfamiliar with Mobile itself, but most of the coast has at least a little funkiness to it. I mean, the good funk. The bad funk too, possibly. You'll be in school, which will make the elusive social network far easier to come by.

I read the sentence three times, imagining wild and wonderful things, before I figured out that Eric Mabius was a young soulful woodworker, not a young soulful woodpecker. Ohhhhhh.

Communications most definitely scrambled. I haven't yet had the caffeine that would allow me to come up with a dirty "Woody" pun here.

Yay, for New Orleans! I remember the heat and humidity that turned my 'do into a "don't," but I also remember all the food I ate. I've only been once, but I get the feeling. I used to look at the real estate listings and dream about buying a house there.

I'll be excited to hear about your new place when the time comes!

I did start researching real estate; the amount of house I'd be able to buy in NO vs. Chicago is, on average, about 800 more square feet. (And I am only counting places in areas I'd actually want to be.)
