The Grrface

Now that we’ve secured a new place, I’m getting a little crazy about buying stuff for the apartment. I stopped by a sidewalk sale on my lunch and bought six or seven pictures for about $20. The colorful one is one I’ve had my eye on forever, but never bought because it cost, like, $50. I snagged it for $10, and it was by far the most expensive one of the bunch. The rest were $1-$3.

I also got some towels, some bathroom stuff like towels and a toothbrush holer, and a polka-dot oven heat pad. Gabe isn’t thrilled about it, but hey, a few less things we have to buy later.

It’s subtle, but it’s there.

It’s purple. Luci colored the sides of his hair purple with a sharpie today. I have the most awesome job and awesome coworkers on the face of the planet.

We paid our deposit on the new apartment today, and I finally got to look inside. It doesn’t have a back door like the one across the courtyard that our friends live in, but it does have a much better layout like a smaller living room in exchange for room to put in a kitchen table.. And the bigger bedroom has TWO CLOSETS. Two! After sharing a closet that is only four square feet for the past year and a half, it seems a little indulgent.

What do you think is going on here? Did one of the three little piggies buy a new plot of land? Is somebody learning how to start a fire?

Just…what?

This dog is retarded. He ate part of a purple gel pen, somehow managed to get the ink everywhere. The walls. The couch. Even all over his face.

That look in his eyes is fear. I took this picture in the bathroom, and I had to hold his head steady just so the picture wouldn’t be so blurry because he was shaking so bad. I would have felt bad for the little guy except that, you know, I just spent half an hour cleaning purple ink off of everything, and then I had to give him a bath. He’s bites people when he’s afraid, and he’s scared to death of water. Freaking dog.

As I had today off, I predictably spent most of it studying. Instead of taking a picture of the stupid books that I have 11 days to finish studying, I went through my SD card, the same one I’ve been using since 2007, and decided to post this old picture of my brother.

This is Brian. He’s one of my very best friends despite the fact that we have little in common other than DNA. I think if we had any more siblings, we wouldn’t be as close, but I’m happy to just have the one brother. Less sibling rivalry that way, you know? That and he’s awesome I guess. Just kidding, he’s a very good listener, a good father of his one biological daughter and his three semi-stepchildren (and also his biological daughter’s two half-sisters), and has a heart of gold even though he looks pretty intimidating (this picture aside). The guy spent six months working in the south after Hurricane Katrina, he spent a few years working weekends as a volunteer firefighter, and one time, he actually saved my life. We still have petty arguments sometimes, but as far as older brothers go, he’s about as awesome as I could get.

I really miss my family today.
