nothin’ says lovin’ like watching “the bloodmobile” on your new flat panel tv in your new swanky apartment that you get to share with your new fiancee.

my. new. apartment. is. so. cool.

that’s all.

i think annie’s going stir-crazy. i came home early from my omm exam yesterday to find her bouncing off the walls and in desperate need of a walk. so… we went shopping. she bought towels, and although i promised myself i wouldn’t buy anything for my new apartment until after i moved in, i picked up magnetic rabbit-esque salt and pepper grinders (on sale!) and a new bodum teapot (i heart cost plus!).

i’m moving in 7 days! as soon as i’m settled, i’m planning on making a nice pot of tea… and something with salt and pepper. and wine. and maybe some waffles (heart shaped). it’s going to be a strange meal.

right now, i feel ill. a couple more hours of class, and then i’m off to study for my 2 exams on monday/boards. bring on the tea!

annie’s here. we grabbed food and smoothies down in claremont, and then more food from trader joes.

foooooooooood.

time to study.

i’m on vacaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation! the barrage of exams has passed, and i’m sitting on my futon, brain numb, not doing my laundry. i might just have to postpone it until tomorrow. i’m just that lazy.

instead, i’ve been fussing with the blog again. bye bye leaves, hel-lo circles. the cartoon is from a notebook that annie gave me as a happy friday gift. preeeeeeeeeety. we’ll see how long this design stays up before i get the urge to change it again.

and… my fish had babies! there are four new guppie babies hanging out in my tree-plant thing. coooooo. and my mollies are looking fatter– mebbe they’ll pop soon, too.

so first i saw 3, then 5, now i count 7… 23… now 26 and counting. every time i go back i find more. i’m flabbergasted. i didn’t even know that fish could hold that many in her belly. she wasn’t THAT fat. wowowowow.

i was watching my tank today and noticed an orange baby fish. my first thought was, dude. my fish turned orange. uhm, no. then i saw two more. MY FISH HAD BABIES! good things happen when you buy big fat momma fish. i can’t wait to see what they grow up to look like. one has a big black stripe on its tail. very cool.

- sub-par gelato from MELT.
- new shoes [b-day gift from the mom] from BORN.
- albacore salad and studying at toro.
- mint lotion from origins.
- study study study.

i came home to my still depressed fishy– and decided to take him back to the pet store. i dropped him off and picked up a pretty yellow swordtail, a big momma red platy, and two algae eaters. my tank is happier now. i think the dopamine-deprived fishy was bringing the whole apartment down.

afterwards… i washed my grapes and baked some orange cranberry bread and tried valiantly to go to bed before 11. i don’t know when i passed out, but it was painful. so now i’m awake and puffy eyed and ready for…. school. bleh.
