While the onions cook

Posted on | October 24, 2007 | 1 Comment

• Still in the midst of deadline, this is a quick post while I cook.
• Our fireplace is toast. We can’t burn anything. The firebox itself is solid, but the chimney is falling apart. One strong wind, and we will lose bricks. That means I am very bitter.
• The heater died as well. After NW Natural Gas came out to look at the heater, we were forwarded to a contractor. The contractor told us it died because of a safety switch. Basically it committed suicide so we can be safe. The landlord is having it replaced on Friday. *grumble grumble*
• Finally, on the house front — the landlord came over today to negotiate with the heater contractor, and she let it slip that they never did an inspection on the house when she bought it. What does that mean? This place is a lemon. We ain’t sticking around.
• We picked up my Ratchet and Clank game. It makes me drool.
• I bought an egg timer so I can schedule things more efficiently. I know it’s silly, but when the bell rings, I have to switch up what I’m doing. It’s a good system for me.
• Academic reading is really fucking boring. For my undergrad, I skimmed a lot of books, but for this program, I had to read an entire book on the advent of the Book of the Month club and its effect on the publishing industry. Interesting, sorta. Most of it made my eyes bleed.
• It’s raining.
• I can’t wait for the weekend. It’s my first Halloween party in Portland
• The thanksgiving holiday is getting nutso. All my fam (Mom, sister and fam, brother), C&B plus Sarah and C’s brother, Amandapants….. it’s gonna be soooo much fucking fun!
• Leopard comes out on the 26th!! Wh00t!
• I really think this is cool.
• I started my other blog. It’s more stuffy, but have fun (it’s also still in the works. Got some kinks there)
• It’s time for dinner.
