Yesterday was the big moving day and everything went as planned, even better than I had expected. The Uhaul was the right size this time. I love it when I reserve a little Uhaul far far in advance, and then when I go pick it up they are like “Here is a really big one, sorry!” I think that the Uhaul people think that it is fine if it is bigger than the one you reserved because that is like free space! Yeah, free space for all of my stuff to bounce around and break! I’m rambling. Anyways … so the Uhaul was 10-foot. We got it at 11:30. We moved. We un-moved it from the Uhaul. We had the Uhaul back by 1:45. Jaime, Jared, and my parents helped. Todd had church and planned on helping but by the time he would have made it there we would have been done, which we were. My brother wouldn’t get out of bed to come help … JERK.
Anyways, my new apartment is great besides a leak in the bathroom and the fact that my mail key does not seem to work in my mailbox. The leak is getting fixed though. I don’t know about the key thing. I tried to call the girl that had the apt. before but some dude answered her phone and was mean. Ok … so I guess I have to go bother the old italian people now. FUN! Oh yeah and my oven smells like burning animals when I turn the burners on. It’s electric and I think I just need to wipe the crusties out of the coils.
Ummm … oh yeah! I ate tofu yesterday for the first time! It is o-k I guess. Jaime, Jared, and I went to the Zenith House Sunday Brunch on the South Side which is like an all vegetarian buffet. I’m all about that because I like non-meaty things. But the entrees’ were all weird. Jaime got the coconut pancakes with pina-colada syrup or something. Jared got a black-bean burger. I got the BBQ Tofu sandwich. I couldn’t eat all of it because it was really big and … well it was kind of funky. I guess it just tasted like blubbery chicken or something. Weird stuff. The rest of the buffet was really good though. I ate the salad and the pasta salad. There were a lot of weird things on the buffet too, and I tried some stuff and didn’t really like any of it. There were grape leaves with rice inside (YUCK). They had brocolli and other nasty veggies (YUCK). Then there was a huge dessert tray with every single cake in the world. I was really really full from all that tofu though so I opted out on the dessert.
I have to go to the dollar-store now to buy a strainer since I think I left mine at my old apartment and it was nasty. I have stuff to make pasta salad and I want to eat some right now. Aghbafgha!!! I love cable. Ducktales just came on! I haven’t seen Ducktales since I was like 12! Launchpad … I heart you!!!
