Went on an adventure today. The purpose of this adventure was a Costco trip so that I could get a new mini fridge to replace the kind of grody one that didn't fit much of anything in it and was unable to actually freeze anything that came with my place. I also got such exciting things as massive amounts of toilet paper, paper towels, q-tips, dental floss, AA batteries, organic extra-virgin olive oil, blackberries, raspberries, a blanket which actually fits on my bed, and cheap gas.
On the way back the friend who came with me (his purpose was to be big and strong, carry the old fridge down the stairs and the new one up. Which I would not have been able to do on my own. In return I used my Costco card on him so he could purchase large quantities of peroxide, rice, vinegar, and sharpies.) said "hey, I know where we are, would you like to continue following your phone's google maps directions, or let me tell you?" and I said "hey, why not, this is an adventure!" and let him lead me. After a number of what appeared to me seemingly random turns he said "umm, I believe that I am lost, would you like to look up directions home on your phone thingy?" So I pulled in to a gas station, told my phone to find our location and then find our way home from there. The Costco is 4 miles from my house. The gas station I had pulled in to was 12.3. I confirmed to him that we were in fact quite lost, and started following the directions home. Shortly after pulling out of the gas station, I came across this building that made getting lost oh so very worth it. We had to pull in and take pictures.
I just can't help imagining what kinds of clients they take on and what types of cases they might try.
Amazing.
I am so excited about my new mini fridge. The one that was in here when I moved in just wasn't cutting it. The "freezer" portion was completely frosted over, tiny, and couldn't actually freeze anything. The body of the fridge was only 2/3rds depth and it only had two shelves, the second of which was really unsturdy. Each of these shelves took up half of the height of the fridge portion, which was completely space inefficient. The door also only had two areas for storage, both of which were really shallow and only had pieces of flimsy plastic to hold in whatever you wanted to put in them, severely limiting your options. It was also really old, so I bet its energy usage was super high.
That creepy stain was there pre-me. I am convinced the previous tenant stored severed limbs in there.
Totally. Useless.
My new mini fridge is SUPER AWESOME.
It has a crisper drawer!
The entire fridge is full depth.
There are three movable interior plastic shelves AND the top of the crisper drawer, so really there are four shelves. The freezer space actually has a flap over it, and there is a little drawer underneath it that you can take out regularly to remove frost build up.
The entire door space is used for storage. There is a can dispenser and multiple different size condiment holders.
There's a wider, taller place at the bottom of the door that can fit two liter bottles!
It's stainless steel and oh so pretty!!
Tomorrow morning I'm getting up too early and going to some park to take pictures of the cute half Jewish Ukranian boy. He wants "a few really good pictures" of himself. He says he isn't satisfied with any of the 8 bajillion that he currently has. Apparently I am the only person out of everyone he knows that he trusts to actually take a good picture of him. So we are getting up early to take advantage of morning light and taking pictures. I'm taking a picnic and am going to make the best of it, pretending that part of him is using this as an excuse to spend time with me, and it isn't him just being clueless and self absorbed.
He's weird.
