dinero does not mean dinner. it means money, which you need in order to buy dinner.

so tonight I made stir fry with broccoli, yellow squash, tofu and polenta. kikkoman's stir fry sauce is the shit. it's not made of shit though, don't worry.

anywho, I decided to eat it on one of the plates the previous tenant left behind. they're japanese, octagonal, with pink flowers. there are bowls and teacups and saucers too. they're cute. they go nicely with chop sticks.

1) I love it when "Liv" calls him "Ell".
2) I want them to get together. Obviously there is a deep love and respect between them. I want it to blossom. Now. NOW.

Poor Tillbooskin!

So even though she looks and acts like she's feeling better, apparently Tillie's situation is still pretty serious. When they scoped her stomach and small intestine last week, they took biopsies of both. They believe that the irritation in her small intestine was caused by a bacterial infection but they don't know what kind. Apparently, the bacteria is extremely rare. So rare in fact that the pathology lab is sending what's left of the sample to Cornell University to see if they can figure it out. So, the vet has prescribed a heavy duty antibiotic that will hopefully kill the infection. The really sad news is that the vet told my mom that Tillie may not be ready to move up here with me for several months. Very upsetting. I was already disappointed that she wasn't with me for the last 8 weeks, and now to learn that it will probably be a long time before I get to have her back is really disheartening. I want her to get better, but I want her here.

I'm probably headed to Knoxville for a weekend (Mar 9-11) to see her and Seth's show and stuff.

If anyone has a spare $4k sitting around.....

I would love to have this.


The apartment is still in the middle of Cardboardbox City so pictures will have to wait until I get things better arranged. So far everything I've tried to do as far as setting anything up has been aggravating. Today the washer and dryer were delivered. And they won't fit in the closet designed for the washer and dryer. grrr. So not only am I going to have to switch brands, I'm gonna have to go up in price. Not amused. But, the directv was installed today, and appears to be working just fine.

In 30 minutes, I'll go watch Lingo, a new favorite show. I love this show, I can feel it bending and twisting my brain stems. unlike many of the shows I watch.

slop design

first, dear judge with the crazy, insane, ginormous hair: put down the crimping iron!

secondly, $500 at a garage sale is a pretty large budget in my opinion. but of course they were all whining.

and I really hope that when Felicia said "twenty-five is that ok?" for that crapass blanket, she meant cents not dollars. And her room was fugly.

I think Ryan is a turd and he should be eliminated. Michael has boyish color taste and it's whack. He needs to choose colors that don't look like dog vomit or grandma's house.

Loved Matt's room. Loved Carissa's room.

I like watching shows on the CW. I just do. I also adore the game Lingo on Game Show Network. I spend a good lot of time watching tv, which I suppose makes me braindead.

blank slate

So I've got a place in Forest now. 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 2 stories. The walls are white white white. Except for the bathrooms, which have icky brown wallpaper. At the moment, I've got brand new beige carpet in the upstairs and plain wood floors in the downstairs. So basically the place has no character. Just that overwhelming new paint/carpet smell that I can't seem to get out. It's too cold to open the windows and let it air out, but we're looking at some warmer weather later this week.

My dog has been very sick and in the hospital. She's getting better, but it will still be a while before my mom can bring her up here. I miss her a lot.
