Hello!

I really haven't kept up with writing like i wanted to. Ah, well, such is the life of a 1L. I've been busting my bottom working and prepping for class, so can you really blame me for not wanting to sit in front of my computer more than is necessary?

I went food shopping in the rain yesterday and carried waaaay too many groceries back alone, HOWEVER! My kitchen is busting at the seams with edible goodies, so I shouldn't have to buy food at school for a fair few weeks, thus ultimately saving myself some precious buckarinos. I made some pork and sweet potato stew yesterday and so i have lunch/dinner for a few days. Its actually quite scrumptious. I dont think i added enough pork though, they didnt have the exact kind of meat i needed (1 lb of boneless shoulder) and so i had to get the next best thing (3.5 lb of boned shoulder) and carve off what i approximated to be 1 lb. The next thing i need for my kitchen, aside from plates, is a nice knife set. If i had the money, I'd just buy a set off of eric, but those damned cut-co knives are very expensive, so i'll have to make a kmart trip and hope to not spend more than $30 on a decent set of knives. A "carving" knife, does not carve raw meat and a paring knife does not work well to cut yams. neither do steak knives. despite the horrific lack of equipment and the fact that i neglected to pick up dried apples for the recipe, the stew was just what i needed after a rainy Friday that was kinda boring. I didnt go anywhere and sat around my apartment drinking alone (which is sort of becoming the new thing to do), playing guitar hero, and watching arrested development.

i basically have no roommate anymore, since she has been spending all of her time at the library/at will's apartment. this has its ups and downs. i like that i can keep the apartment relatively clean, do whatever i want, keep my own hours, and enjoy my solitude that i need relatively often. but it does get lonely when there is no one to talk to and i can't exactly spend all my time in brooklyn - i haven't actually spent any time there for a week or so now... this week has been sort of socially isolating. except for when i went to dave and busters with mel and raff... but that was on tuesday...

ive become hopelessly addicted to guitar hero. i can almost always finish a medium song with 5 stars now... its almost boring now... i just have to work harder at being good at the hard level because its way more challenging and interesting.

i woke up at like 1130 today. i havent done anything except sit on my floor and dick around on the internet. i have to finish reading civil procedure and start studying for my torts midterm. i also need to eat and i want to work on the webcomic that has recently fallen by the way side since ive had too much other shit to take care of.

i am also either covered in mosquito bites OR having another outbreak of hives. i hope its mosquito bites. i think its mosquito bites, hives usually itch and burn, then go away. these have been here for a few days and dont hurt.

god im hungry. is it too early to get drunk?
