A little light reading while waiting for my flight. This is such an awkward cover to be reading in public.
Also, note to self: banana & honey parfaits are messy. Oops.

Heh. Suprising, this is not targeted at who you might think this is targeted at.

As long as nothing goes awry, this is my new apartment. I freaking love it.
It’s on this nice, curvy little street that reminds everyone of San Fransisco. There are four houses identical to this one in architecture, but they’re each a different colour. I’m in this pink one, in a tiny tiny studio apartment, but hey - it’s a space of my own (no roommates) and it’s been recently remodeled. Plus, the kitchen is actually about half of the entire apartment, which I love, since I cook a lot. Most studio apartments just have a little 4’x4’ excuse for a kitchen, so I was pretty happy to see that this one has a full-sized one. It also has a bar, which is very space-saving since I’ll just push some bar-stools up against it rather than have a dining room table.
My apartment is in the basement, which means that the windows are eye-level, and I’m totally okay with that. It makes it easier to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The windows also have nice little ledges that I can put some plants on, and hopefully grow some herbs.
My favorite thing, though, is that it’s only $350/month ALL BILLS PAID. That means I don’t have to pay for gas, electric, trash, or water. All I have to pay for is internet. Mad props to my friend Al for showing me this little street in Wichita - it’s truly a hidden gem. Nice apartment, nice neighborhood, nice PRICE, and I’m cutting my driving distance to both of my jobs in HALF, as well as putting myself in walking distance of my favorite coffee shop/hangout and within biking distance of anything downtown. It’s perfect.
The only thing that I really don’t like about it is that it doesn’t have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal, which will take me a while to get used to, but I’ll live, especially since I’ll usually only be doing dishes for one person (muah).
More pics to come.

Conversation with a frat-guy who is considering purchasing my old furniture
- Frat guy: Here's the money.
- Me: Thank you kindly! Anything else?
- Frat guy: Yea - what happens if I spill beer on this stuff?
- Me: You just wipe it off with a damp rag.
- Frat guy: Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
I should sell large, heavy objects on Craig's List more often
Because I just watched two hot, sweaty, delicious frat-boys strain their muscles and carry away my old shit.
And they paid me.
You guys. Peter Rojas spoke to me tweeted at me.
I’ll be over here, drowning in geek euphoria.
From now on if anyone mentions Peter Rojas around me, you can bet on the fact that I’ll say something like “I talked to him once. He was sooooooo nice. Seriously.”

What a gorgeous cover. Damn you, Entertainment Weekly. I originally planned on only buying Time’s tribute issue.
