alas poor ghostrider

oh man. yesterday christina made a tortilla de patatas for us for dinner, and it was the besttttttt. if you don't know what that is, here is the wiki ! but don't bother to go there because i'm going to tell you what it is ! it's like... sort of between an omelette and a quiche? it's a big egg thing with potatoes and onions in it.



i was super exhausted when i got home so i dozed off for awhile and woke up to a text saying my tortilla de patatas was ready, which clearly indicates that i have the best roommate. while we ate dinner we watched king of queens episodes that i DVR'd. i'm sure i've mentioned it, but i'm weirdly into "king of queens". i think kevin james is the cutest/nicest, and also i think the show is genuinely funny. i also like that the couple on the show is realistically working class? haha. like if they have to get a home repair done that costs $400 they freak out and have to borrow money or can't go to the dentist.



unfortunately though, for how much i love it, i'll never be able to keep up with the DVR because it's seriously on tv like 8 times a day? on two different channels ! i feel like i'm being crushed under the weight of my crappy tv interests now. maybe this weekend i'll make an effort to watch as many episodes as i can !

after dinner, i leveled my priest with paul for awhile. he signed on his paladin and carted me and his warrior around on his grand ice mammoth (which is a mount with 2 extra seats so you can bring friends along):


actually, i'm not sure if he has this one or the traveler's tundra mammoth

and we did ragefire chasm and wailing caverns and got from level 14 to level 23 in a couple of hours. jesus christ, wailing caverns takes forever ! i still had a good time, but i didn't get a raptor hatchling.


hee hee hee

i appreciate everyone's feedback yesterday about online classes. the overall impression that i'm getting is that they're easy but by no means super super easy, and that the people in the classes will be mature, but there will probably be some infuriating boneheads. that sounds reasonable ! the only thing i'm worried about now is like... how do i know what books to get? i haven't been in school in so long that i can't remember how to find this stuff out.



i'm only worried because i'm a little lazy and i might forget to check if i am not explicitly told where and when to look. actually, i just read what i wrote and it sounds like a baby going to college so i'm going to make an effort to like do the basic things i need to do to have a life and take care of myself.

oh ! oh ! hey ! remember how a few weeks ago, i was talking about the mcelrath salty dog chocolate bar? i got a bunch of them while i was in sacramento at the nugget market grocery store, and i can't find them anywhere in philly. anyway, i checked my mail yesterday and found this package from caroline:



i seriously burst into tears when i opened it because it was so thoughtful- i'd JUST been talking about this chocolate bar to someone else the night before, and to have two randomly appear in my mailbox was like... the best, sweetest thing ever. caroline is the best.

i guess i should get some work done now. busyyyy week, next week will be twice as busyyyyy, and then i have to work all weekend. this weekend, i plan to mostly chillax and hang out with mouse before he goes on tour. hayyyy.

p.s. i love the phillies
p.p.s. i had to go to the bathroom and i got two phonecalls in a row and now i don't have to go anymore and i am afraid i'm going to get blood poisoning.

hey dudes ! yesterday i walked home from work because it was nice out and came home and hid in my room ! i unraveled that stupid sock and started over, which was a total bummer, but it was basically going to be a baby sock if i didn't do it. i had chocolate cheerios for dinner:



i've been looking forward to trying these for awhile. i don't like cereal really, but i like cheerios and would like them more if they were sweeter. i LOVE cocoa puffs, but i find the shape to be detrimental to my mouth skin. i had cocoa puffs for the first time a year or two ago when i went to the weird cereal restaurant by my office (now out of business)



they seemed right up my alley, and i had to basically beg the people working there to not add anything to them (a small cereal came with THREE TOPPINGS and they wanted me to add like, chocolate chips or marshmallows to it ! i'm not CALIGULA !!!!), and then i ate them and like, cocoa puffs are like manna from heaven. i would be eating them right now if i had a wolverine mouth that healed itself immediately. oh, but yeah, chocolate cheerios- totally disappointing. they aren't sweet or chocolatey, but their brownish chocolate-like color shamed me out of adding sugar.

if there are any children reading this, i want to reiterate that when you are an adult you can eat sugary cereal for dinner, so don't commit suicide or anything.

mouse came over after that, and we forced christina to watch rocky, because she has lived in philadelphia for almost eight months without seeing it. by "forced", by the way, i mean we were like, "we should watch rocky" and she was like, "TOTALLY".



if you haven't seen it or haven't seen it recently, rocky is one of the best movies ever made. it's super hard to reconcile sylvester stallone now with the person who wrote 'rocky', but he added so many perfect touches to the character (not being able to break the guy's thumbs, locker combination in hat, the turtles, having a crush on a shy nerd from the pet store, etc.) and plays it with such sensitivity. also, seeing philadelphia in the 70s ! also, butkus !

also, sylvester stallone was super hot? christina and i have recently been trying to wrap our brains around our appreciation of hunks


jr rodgers, kirstie alley's personal trainer who we have a bone on for

like, her main celebrity crush is like... zach galifianakis. and i can't think of any of mine, but i'm just going to put it out there that i watch the king of queens every night, and it's not for leah remini (p.s. christina has a crush on patton oswalt, too !). and yet every time we see some shirtless hunk we're like, biting our fists. we are complicated women.

i'm gonna go do some work now and maybe eat a really unsatisfying lunch.

p.s. christina has also diagnosed me as gay for stacy london.



p.p.s. i had to look at zach galafianakas' wikipedia and copy and paste his name up there. and i just had to do it again to type that.
p.p.p.s. yes mouse, you're a hunk.
