Time

Lovely weekend. On Friday, E and I went to J's place. It's right around the corner. So great, as we hardly know anyone our age East of Greenmount. (J is an old friend of E's, and I've known him as long as I've known E.) J's rents in an old house which his friends own and are rehabbing. It's really neat. They made a brick oven in the backyard. J made a vegan curry vegetable pie and baked it in the oven. Mmm, it was so delicious. J's girlfriend and housemates are all really sweet and interesting people. It's been a long, long time since I've hung out with people like them in Bmore. (I'm at the end of my rope with grad students who don't like me. Honestly, it's ruining my life.)

On Saturday night we ate at Iggy's (fresh Neapolitan pizza, spinach salad with pancetta) and then went to C's for the Carolina game. They won, but not as easily as one would've hoped.

On Sunday I attempted to do some projects, but things are still a bit messy since the move. I did succeed in dying a few things, which was fun. Dying makes such a dramatic change so quickly that I want to do more of it. I'm enjoying having a basement again.

Monday at the office sucked. I took a sick day yesterday and finished reading "Grey". (Not that great.) I fixed some of my Etsy pictures and made two kinds of cookies from "Paris Sweets". It became a beautiful day at 1 or so, and I opened all the windows. Then E came home and suggested we walk to Dizzy's for dinner- perfect! I had fish and chips. I am just starting to eat fish. I never liked it at all. I was fine, though the batter could not compare with the Argyle in my hometown.
