I'm a graduate student living in Chicago. Sometimes I take on overly ambitious projects and don't finish in a timely manner. Let's hope my thesis isn't such a project.
AUGH! NO, NO! THIS IS GIN! I SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM TO FILL THE RESERVOIRS WITH VODKA! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL, IT SMELLS LIKE A PINE FOREST!
EVERYONE STAY BACK UNTIL WE CAN GET SOME TONIC WATER TO ONE OF THE SPRINKLERS!
All this did was make me wonder if sprinklers spew out alcohol at ridiculously rich/ stupid parties. Because that sounds a-maz-ing.
Did I mention I just finished my last class of grad school?

Yes! Closet off master bedroom, sliding doors like in smaller bedroom. There’s also a linen closet off that nook-hall between the big bedroom and the bathroom.
The entire apartment is painted in Dover White which is nasty renter’s cream. If I summon the energy all the walls will be repainted in a much crisper white (a la Anna of Door Sixteen), and I might paint both bedrooms a slightly warm and very light gray.

There’s a closet in the back bedroom and a closet off the nook between the back bedroom and bathroom. The blank area below the kitchen is the back deck. I also failed to mark the front door. The small bedroom doesn’t actually have a bed but it does have an air mattress! Come visit?

New apartment! I didn’t photograph the foyer because I’m not very smart.

I have 41 pairs of shoes. Boyfriend has 7, 2 of which he never wears.
I got rid of at least ten pairs of shoes while re-organizing yesterday and today. I ordered a new pair of boots with the Nordstrom gift card/ Christmas bonus from the family I nanny for. If I hold onto the give-away bag until those boots come, I will have a pair of shoes for every week of the year. Boyfriend has a pair of shoes for each day of the week.
Help me.

“As atheists, I think none of us can find solace in the cliches or numbness in the delusion of an afterlife. Instead, embrace the fierce strong emotions of anger and sorrow, feel the pain, rage against the darkness, fight back against our mortal enemy Death, and live exuberantly while we can. Confront mortality clear-eyed and pugnacious, uncompromising and aggressive.”

I was just persuaded that what I actually want for Christmas is a Roomba. I really dislike vacuuming.
In related news, I traded Seth laundry, Christmas shopping for both families, and bathroom cleaning for him doing all of the dishes, everyday. Things that happen once a week and once a year that I already do for something that I hate doing and that has to be done each day? I win. I need a job before I can decide that $300 in exchange for floor cleaning is me getting the better deal.

I was watching Malcolm in the Middle and realized the Dorothy Zbornak and Severus Snape look a great deal alike.
