Fun Stuff

I've got a new layout! (It's really an old layout with a new header and a couple of tweaks, but still.) The last one was very wintery, so I thought now that it's March I should move on, and since I'm into Chuck right now, why not make that the theme? Plus, it gave me something to do besides reading job postings.

Both of my roommates are gone for the week, one in California and one in London. I get the entire apartment to myself! I never have to watch The Real World or Millionaire Matchmaker or Real Housewives of Anywhere! How am I celebrating? Eating cereal for dinner, putting in a couple loads of laundry*, and watching North by Northwest. Yeah, I really know how to live on the wild side.

I'm invited to an Oscar party tomorrow. Not that I really care about the Oscars at all, but hanging out with some friends with food and drink is much more my speed than going out. So tomorrow I should actually leave my apartment (going next door to Giant, which I did today because I needed milk for my cereal—and ice cream—hardly counts).

It's almost my birthday. Woo! My mom is going to make cake, which is pretty much the most exciting thing about birthdays. What can I say, I like sweets! :D

*Special laundry sidenote: When I went down to the laundry room, none of the washers and dryers were in use, but there was a woman sitting in the little lunge area watching a Caps game. I wonder if she doesn't have a TV in her apartment or if she really just likes watching hockey in the laundry room.

I'm guessing the recession has hit your neighbor and she's watching tv in the laundry room because she cut out her cable. :)

Happy birthday soon! Yummo - cake!

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that option! That's probably it, though I kind of like the idea of having a quirky old lady who just likes hanging out in the laundry room.

Thanks!

Cereal for dinner? That sounds like something I would do!

Yes it does! I've been too lazy this week to plan meals and go on a proper shopping trip.

Well, my friends and I liked to play board games in our laundry room last semester, so I wouldn't blame your neighbor if she just liked hanging out there. :P

And yay freedom! Yay getting to watch what you want on TV!

People seriously watch The Millionaire Matchmaker? My faith in humanity just took another hit.

Happy early birthday!

That reminds me of the people in my old dorm who played cards in the elevator. (Until the RAs made a new rule prohibiting riding the elevator without a destination.)

One of my roommates loves The Millionaire Matchmaker, which sadly has led to me seeing some of it as well. There was a really low point during the week we were snowed in when I realized that not only had I already seen the exact episode she was watching, I had seen it already twice. Ugh.

Thanks!
