And the day is mine!

I sucked another victim into the world of Harry Potter. Julie, my unsuspecting roommate, actually suggested to me that we watch it! Don't let her tell you anything otherwise. She even made us stop playing Rummikub so she could pay attention since she was "getting too into it." I know she'll watch the other 2 movies (3 if you include her at Goblet of Fire opening night) and perhaps I can even sucker her into reading the books--we all know those are better anyway. :)

Her two most memorable quotes:

1. Did they make black wizards back then?

2. Look at those mentors running through the forest! (I think she was talking about the centaurs, not a professional guru, but I'm not really sure. She's in graphics for a reason--I'm going to hear about it for that one.)

Ketchup and other matters

I feel as if I’m experienced enough to write a fairly decent book on roommate relations. I just might do it if my job keeps sucking so much. I will discuss other issues later, but I’d like to start with this: food, specificially condiments. My roommates and I are not, shall we say, culinary artistes in any way. We have lots of food, but most of it isn’t touched. I think we have about 10 canisters of Crystal Light and 3 boxes of Cheezits, but items for a meal? No way!

While cleaning out the fridge yesterday I realized that we had 2-3 of each condiment. I know this is probably because I’m a condiment snob, but it still seems a little excessive to me. I mean there are probably starving kids in Ethiopia that would love to have the Hunts ketchup that I stick my nose up at. I just think it’s amusing that there is nothing in my fridge except 6 bottles of BBQ, 2 ketchups, 4 tubs of butter and possibly a cheese or two.

I really need a hobby so I don’t ponder these things. I mean who spends all day Saturday cleaning their house and counting condiments? I guess I should be glad that it’s almost ski season!

Twisted and Snorman: The Soundtrack

Snorman and I have decided to put together an official soundtrack of cool Europe-themed songs in preparation of the big trip in 6 months. Now I just need to think of a clever name for this compilation. Any ideas?
