NEWS!

new things in my life:

1. new adventures in the kitchen

this is a meal i made a few days ago. quite good, but as you can see below, one really is the loneliest number when you are cooking.


2. new weather

that's right, my room is hot. this will be quickly fixed when i start leaving it every day during the hottest bit. problem solved! onward and upward!

3. new tv antenna

you heard me, the antenna is here and it is finally hooked up. that means that i get this wonderful pbs in almost hd clarity! i can also now almost see nbc if i squint just the right way, and abc is the same as before. whatev, woman cannot live on television alone!

4. new hair

the change is dramatic, i know. i was actually hoping to get a gradation of red through the bangage, but i think it just turned out reddish on the blonde and brownish on the red? i have no idea, but it will work for now.

5. new experience with the soda machine
so, the other day i tried the wine we bought when i first moved in. we bought it for the label, "our daily red," and the label is undoubtedly the best part of the wine. blekh. when i passed the soda machine today, johanna sprung into my mind reminding me of the pleasures of wine and coke! dollars in hand, i eagerly approached the machine. one dollar in. nothing. i figured, bottles are usually more than a dollar. i shoved another dollar in. vending! success, i thought to myself! but no, down came a can. one can of soda. i pushed and pushed the coin return to no avail. so...later tonight i look forward to a lovely glass of wine and coke and i won't even feel bad this time b/c the coke costed almost as much as the wine! (sorry, there is no picture for this one b/c i refuse to even spend energy on that stupid can!)
