i've finished one whole chapter of my bank class, so i guess i'm done for today. spent a very relaxing weekend cooking and being domestic and setting my pasta pot aflame. but then matt burned all the hair of his right hand with the grill and the lighter fluid, so we're even.
sara and i were both considering calling out today, and we're lucky we didn't as mary is out due to her son's car accident. he's reportedly going to be fine. because i was all domestic we have brownies, so we're all set really. i was definitely channelling my mother this weekend with the cooking. although i never heard her say she set pots on fire BOILING WATER*. but whatever. i made her macaroni salad and i made her terriyaki kebabs, the brownies weren't strictly hers, but i cut up a whole water melon and forced matt to take it with his lunch and that is very like my mom. eat the watermelon! it's hot, you'll dehydrate, EAT IT!
i was debating the virtues of an airconditioner until the sea breeze picked up yesterday evening. virtue: it would be cooler non-virtue: having to move said air-conditioner, paying the electric bill, having to move the air conditioner. those are heavy muthas.
air conditioners are relativiely cheap, and probably i'd get enough relief from it to make it worthwile, but the dvd player is also broken. and that is an epic type tragedy. dude. i've blown air in it. i've blown air all of the the discs. and then i decided maybe it was too hot, so i turned one of my two fans to cool it down.** no dice. it was cheap, but i've only had it like a year or something. i'm heartbroken. no vicar of dibley, no muppets in new york, and now i'll never know how that morse mystery from netflix ended. ARGH!


*let alone more than once. jesus.
**such was my dedication to the cause.
