taam china on fridays 365.35



3 egg drop soups with wontons.

JG 1 sweet & sour chicken with fried rice
AB 1 chicken with cashews & fried rice (though he does waffle on the rice)
VC it varies with white rice

an era is coming to a close. lunches at taam china with friends who lived in the same 2 mile radius and had similar work (or lack of work) schedules.
it was nice always knowing that they would be ordering the same thing (and that i would order it for them), funny also that i am the random one.

fall? 365.31


today after class i wandered over to the main campus, (to further aid in the procrastination but also to go to the amazing library to get work done) the only evidence that it is in fact fall was this tree.

does this bother anyone else?

dear al gore,
global warming is out of control. its late october and i am wearing a t-shirt and walking around outside in the 80 degree weather. please use your nobel peace prize to to fix this.

love,
veronique

this is what they call procrastination 365.30



today i have to write a midterm, posting to my blog is just one of many ways to avoid doing so

things of note: at least there are bits done on the computer screen, the best cookies on the planet in the background (candy cane Joe-Joe's) open books and binders a clear indication of work getting done.

born at the right time 365.27



there are times in my life when i feel i would've fit in more in a different era, for instance, the era of andy warhol.

ghetto 365.24



pros
- our gas bill will (hopefully) be lowered because we have a controlled thermostat

cons
- the old thermostat was round (which you can clearly see) we don't have the paint color to touch up this travesty
- the wall appears to be only made of paint since anything you screw in just goes all the way (and not in the good way) this includes mollies. haven't tried a butterfly yet i am pretty sure that the only thing was holding up the old thermostat was the paint.
- we had to use duct tape to hold it up until we come up with a better solution, which still won't solve the rectangular box in a round hole problem.
- the duct tape isn't really strong enough to hold it up so its slowly falling off, which means that every time one of us walks by we push it back up.

To Do 365.10



i went to class today, used the printers at school and then read and read and read, yet somehow the amount of things crossed off the list doesn't seem so satisfying. on the plus side by posting I get to cross something off the personal list.
