So DS wanted to make potato salad. Eh, why not. He makes a damn good potato salad. Great, today's lunch menu is decided. Soon enough I see him in the kitchen doing something that looked... questionable. No, he wasn't doing lewd things to the potatoes or drizzling them with any sort of "special dressing", he was just pushing tons and tons of potato peels through the trash disposal. But really pushing them like an unwanted baby through a toilet. I found it weird that he decided to use that instead of the more accesible trash can just three fucking steps away from him, but hey, whathever. That's what garbage disposals are for, right Kevin Spacey?

You see, garbage disposals are designed to take a moderate amount of soft garbage and chop it up in chunks that are small enough to ...Keep reading.

OK, so even though we seem to have moved into apartment paradise, there comes a time when you get cabin fever and for fear of smacking the shit out of your significant other when he makes you jump out of your seat by screaming like a rape victim for the 17th time because he's playing Gears of War and a sniper just blew his fucking head off, you know that it's time to convince him to turn off the console, GTFO and have a breath of fresh air. Since we had no plans for Independence Day, we decided to test how long does it take to walk from our apartment complex to my grad school, which is only a couple of miles away. We had heard how you have to cross a busy road and walk through a few patches that still have no sidewalk in the sweltering heat, ...Keep reading.

Part 2 of our riveting Texas relocation pictorial! In case you missed the first, it's here. Last time, I ended it with an image of us finally stepping on Texan soil. Well, 3 hours later, we were finishing the lease paperwork on our apartment and walking into it the very same day we arrived in Plano. So here's what we saw once we got through the door: Oh wow it does look nice and spacious-- WHAT THE FUCK why does it have a carpet?! This is not gonna bode well for my allergies. Oh well, at least it looks clean... This is the entrance. You can see how strong the geekery is when the first thing we unpack is our laptop. Another view of ...Keep reading.

For those of you who are not privileged enough to be my Fakebook friends, here's a bunch of pictures DS and I have posted, taken throughout our epic quest to establish ourselves in the Holy Land known as Texas. I won't give you a long winded intro because people are fucking lazy and don't read anymore, so here's the pics and some descriptions:

The day of our departure was a rainy, sad, miserable piece of shit. Good thing the flights weren't delayed or canceled because that cloud was fucking with us the whole day. At this point I'm still not excited for some weird reason, since the fear of leaving something important behind kept my thoughts pretty busy.

We needed a way to be ...Keep reading.

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since we were stationed in a shitty cockroachy motel in Louisiana. Time has really flown since we arrived here. I have lost track of time so badly, I don't even know what day it is anymore. I had to put a gigantic widget with the full date in my computer. Having so much free time makes you lose touch with reality. Oh well, I'll enjoy the shit out of it while I have time. Soon enough waking up late will become a rare luxury. So, what has gone on since we arrived in this charming, relatively young city? Well... We started off on the wrong side of the law by "borrowing" internet. But only for a few days, don't judge! It took a week to get Internet service and then soon after we spent another week without it thanks to Time Warner's negligent ...Keep reading.
