holytoastrIf I don't get out of the apartment at least once a day, I get stir crazy. So yesterday evening ben took me to the book store to kill the crazy. I bought Ouran High School Host Club #13. I was pleased with myself because I had a 30% off coupon and a $10 gift card.
We also bought some bubble tea. Then went to the food store to buy thanksgiving goodies. Of course, we forgot or couldn't find half the things we wanted....
How can a food store not sell butcher's twine? I am going to make these stuffed turkey roll things, which require twine to not unroll while cooking.
It sorta horrified me that you could buy an entire turkey for 99 cents. Even chicken was more expensive.
When I got home, I read my comic and made lots of ooohs and squees that ben did his best to completely ignore. And then it ended in a cliffhanger! RARRR!!!! Now I have to patiently wait for the next one... even though the next one has no publish date yet....
After that, I ate dinner (leftover chinese food), took a shower, and went to bed. I didn't sleep very well though. I woke up more tired than I felt going to bed. Plus it was cold and dark this morning. It's kinda amazing I got up at all.
While waiting for my bus this morning, I was reading the intro to vol 4 of Story of the Stone. There was a MASSIVE plot spoiler in the intro! They can't do that!!!!! It's tho sort of plot point that will change the direction of the entire story. And they just casually mention it in the intro? NOT. COOL.
Then a fat guy sat ON me on the bus and my anger was directed away from my book. Despite all my efforts, I could not make him explode with simply my mind. probably for the best. He was so huge that he would have made a pretty awful mess.
Somehow I managed to get to work and was greeted with some actual good news for once. A raise! Yay! Only about $1000 more, but it's better than nothing. (Considering I got $1000 sorta-raise earlier in the year too!) And I'm finally making more than I did when I left my old job. (Though, you could argue I have been making more than that for a long time because this job gives me many nice benefits.)
I should go somewhere or do something to celebrate. But I'm not sure what. It's too cold and miserable to go do anything fun.
