monkey nonsense

the summer’s over. man, that went by quickly! i haven’t posted much recently so i thought i’d post everything in one gimongous post!

i moved. again. this time to a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment right by tysons II. i live with ann, a chinese school friend i grew up with who lived with changer banger in texas while in grad school. she is quite weird. i am getting used to her weirdness. once i get home, i’ll post a picture of what she does in her free time at home… it’s rather cute.

it seems i run off my old roommates. since college, 75% of my former roommates have married/gotten engaged. 75% of them have moved to the NYC area. i ran off the last one a couple of weeks back. i’ve replaced her with a stuffed giraffe. at first, i wanted to name the giraffe tina to make fun of tina (the roommate) because the giraffe looks rather goofy and awkward… but then i thought it also looked rather masculine… which just seemed mean to call it tina. but ann has commented that she does look rather feminine (though goofy) so i guess tina can be an appropriate name for it. once i get home, i’ll post pictures of our tina replacement. really, there’s no difference.

we’re slowly setting up our apartment and hope to have a “housewarming” party to play games and hang out some time soon. in setting up the apartment, we’ve found a prominent place for the 9184918948149184791 pound roll of foil i bought in 2004 (see below picture for the purpose of its purchase). i hope to use it up. in previous apartments, it got stashed away in a high-up shelf where it got lost and never got used. this 9184918948149184791 pound roll has outlasted 4 roommates and numerous apartments.

i’ve eaten lots of crabs. yum. crabs.

i knocked off a few items on my 101 things to do. though i’m seriously thinking about extending how long i have to do it… i know i won’t be able to accomplish some of these tasks in time! seriously… Go to bed before midnight every day for a week? Check voicemail every day for a week? those are gonna take awhile to accomplish! things i have been able to knock off my list:

Go camping, campfire smores and all

Go fishing/crabbing

Light fireworks

finally… i BEAT julie at desktop tower defense!!!!! woo!!
