It's official, after the typical navigating of the bizarre that happens every time I try to talk with my landlord-dude, I'm all set to stay in the Aquarium another year. And all my worrying was pointless (like it usually is); instead of a big rent increase, he looked at me blankly and asked what my rent was now. And I, being the compulsively honest person I am, told him. I sometimes think I should get better at lying and then I remember that lying is boring and takes up too much energy.
I'm here another year, with my Bollywood-loving neighbor on one side (he's playing the music now!) and my creepy wants-to-give-me-a-microwave-and-thank-me-for-finding-his-keys-when-I-didn't neighbor on the other, and the gentle newsletter reminders that residents are responsible for any puke their guests leave behind, what's not to love?
To celebrate my new lease, I stuck a warm beer in the freezer while I cooked dinner. This story has the predictable Erin ending in that I only just now remembered my beer, four hours later. Sigh. No matter how many times I scold myself about things like this, I still think they are a good idea at the time. Beer slushy is too cold and gives me a brain freeze. Boo.
Anyway, today's story has few adventures. I think it's to make up for my big adventure yesterday seeing Itzhak Perlman play. It was fantastic, in case I haven't already said that about 38 times already. However, I have a jam-packed weekend ahead and I'm surrounded by people all the time. Since people are silly and weird, it's only a matter of time before something exciting happens. Until then, I've got my beer slushy. Sigh.
Moral of today's story: bad ideas come in pairs. I just had a sudden thought that my laptop is warm and would melt my beer slushy quickly. Luckily my rational thought process pointed out that condensation and laptops have a long-standing disagreement and that my idea was a terrible one. Logic rocks!
An Erinku (in patience while my beer thaws):
empty taquito box
in recycling bin
the sadness!
I'll grocery shop tomorrow
