the hunt for a decent cake mix

Talking with Poonam last night, she said she was on her way to a party and was bringing cupcakes. Cupcakes! I hadn’t made cupcakes in years, and the thought of getting sprinkles and icing all over Jon’s clean, new kitchen was too irresistible to pass up. When searching through the grocery store [...]

fuzzy animal photos and a rant about Indian restaurants

My finals are tomorrow, and then this semester will be over! I’m going to take a visit home to my parents’ house soon and, boy, am I excited because they have had new ducklings and kittens born while I was away: Despite what it looks like, I don’t think my dad was poking the kittens [...]

quick lesson in love and groceries

Do not let your boyfriend convince you that he just loooooves eggnog and that three one-quart cartons of it in its various incarnations (e.g., Silk Nog, Custard Nog, and old-fashioned eggnog) is just barely enough; that yes, he’ll definitely drink all of it before its expiration date; that goodness! he’ll most likely drink it all [...]

Korean at 6 AM

What on earth am I doing awake? That’s what I get for going to bed around 11: wake up once to get a drink of water, and then I can’t get back to sleep. So I’m in the kitchen eating some leftover Korean and surfing the Internet. Classes are going well. [...]

Jon, foot, mouth

Jon and I were just making some espresso in the kitchen and talking about one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is excellent when you go at dinnertime, but when you come around lunch, they must have different cooks or something because their food isn’t nearly as good. It’s still tasty, but [...]

Mark’s beer face

I plan on writing later about how I’m becoming increasingly put off by how women are treated in Stranger in a Strange Land, but I don’t want to get into that now because I need to start on my algorithms homework soon. So, I’ll just share with you this photo I took on my [...]

finisher of summaries and snuggler of the sick

I’ve been pretty productive today, considering it’s a Saturday and I usually try to slack off on Saturdays. I have accomplished the following: Finished the final three paper summaries for my software engineering class, which is fortunate since they were due today; Wrote a good part of a new layout for this site (guess it doesn’t [...]

giving up on the day, possibly due to frozen milk

I probably ought to go to bed and as soon as I take a shower (which will happen promptly after I finish this post…), I will. I don’t know why I have such a time getting to bed, but I always seem to drag my feet about it. Tony commented once that he’s [...]

the unexpected biscuit surprise

Jon and I just came back from eating at Cracker Barrel. It’s not a restaurant where we eat often, but sometimes I get this irresistible urge to eat biscuits and gravy, and Cracker Barrel is the best place to quell that urge because 1) IHOP is meh and 2) Waffle House food looks and [...]

most accurate fortune ever

“You would do well in the field of computer technology” read a fortune I got today when I ate my leftover orange chicken for lunch. Matt @ work likened it to “You would do well as a marine biologist”; really, what prompted them to write this as a fortune? It’s now pinned to [...]
