I have Toxic stuck in my head.
Jul. 18th, 2012 06:39 pmIt is problematic.
In other news, I'm trying hard to be better about cooking and menu planning and the like. This is made both easier and more difficult by our meat-CSA membership. On the one hand, I don't have to think about what meats to cook, because hey! We have 12 pounds in the freezer! On the other hand, I have to figure out how the hell to cook these cuts that I've never even thought about buying before. Lamb shanks? That's what I'm cooking tonight, and seriously, what the fuck are lamb shanks? Little lamb legs, obviously, but I had to figure out how they were supposed to be cooked and find an adequate recipe- fun, but also stressful.
Work is work. Summer means that we alternate between dead and slammed, which is super fun. I had hoped to have a job in my field by now (or at least one lined up), but that is obviously not the case. Since it appears that I will be staying here for the foreseeable future (fucking economy) I need to seriously press the issue of a raise. At any other coffee shop, I'd already have the title of Assistant Manager, and I would damn sure be making more than I am now. And honestly, if they want me to stay, I need a living wage.
Unfuck Your Habitat continues to be a revelation, and our apartment continues to be abnormally clean for two slobby people such as ourselves. I'm not saying its immaculate- the "dining room" table is currently covered in various and sundry homeless items, but the sink is empty of dishes, the carpet has been vacuumed, I just did laundry... hooray cleanliness!
This heat wave can go fuck itself. Heat index of 118, are you fucking kidding me? Pretty sure we broke records today in DC, and it was not fun. The wicked thunderstorm seems to have cooled things off a bit, thank god. I can deal with mid-90s, no problem. I did grow up in DC, I'm used to heat and humidity. But over 100 for several days in a row? Like I said- the heat wave can go fuck itself.
That's it- attempting once again to update on a somewhat regular basis. We'll see how it works!
