Divendres

I must say I am quite pleased with the success of our food blog, Les Gourmands du South End. In but a couple of weeks we have risen to the #11 position, and, after Adam and I both posted today, we will hopefully make the top 10. If anyone reading this blog hasn't checked it out already, there is a link to the right of this post.

Despite it being my day off I woke up at 8:30 and decided to start the morning. After breaking the fast and updating Les Gourmands, I decided to bike to Peet's to work on Fulbright stuff as well as a final Latin extra-credit assignment. I really enjoy how bright the Coolidge Corner Peet's is during the day, as well as the great people watching on Harvard Street. I finished the second draft of my Project Proposal, and made good progress on the Latin. I soon found myself having to urinate quite badly, and rather than leave my laptop, etc. unattended I thought it best to just head back home.

There was some unpleasantness as I attempted to take the elevator to my floor after locking my bike up in the basement. I was basically yelled at by some man on the elevator moving his shit - apparently it was my fault not having used my x-ray vision to see that although he was on the 5th floor in the elevator, he had not yet pressed the button. Therefore he had to go ALL THE WAY TO THE BASEMENT instead of to the main floor one above it. Fuck you. I'm sorry you have to work as a mover. I went around to the front and took the stairs.

the rest of my day involved being domestic - things like washing dishes, organizing/cleaning the refrigerator, running to CVS, swiffering the kichen. lauren is coming over for dinner tonight, so mel and i will be heading to trader joe's shortly to restock on some things. i'm thinking its going to be a lowkey evening since I dont' really have money to spend.

it's times like i wish i had a small mammal, namely a sugar glider or fennec fox. the next time I am settled somewhere, i.e. not having the possibility of spending a year abroad in the somewhat near future, i am getting one. look how fucking cute they are.
