i love the smell of burnt popcorn in the evening...
yeah, damon apparently miscalculated on the time to keep the popcorn in the microwave...we were sitting there watching a particularly humorous (and pre-recorded because of double D's bday/ice cream party) episode of The Family Guy when damon yelled expletive deleted and i looked up to see a wall of smoke wafting towards me coming from the kitchen. yeah, it was a nice flashback to undergrad in the dorms when it seemed like every other night of freshman year someone managed to burn their popcorn...and we were in the honors dorm.
anyway, we had to open all the windows and doors and bring our apartment temperature down to just above freezing (the fishes would have suffered) as well as turn on fans, light candles, and douse the apartment with special febreeze made for deodorizing air. it was a blast, and there's nothing like standing there in the living room and being able to see your breath in front of you. the incident happened an hour or so ago and the apartment still has that wonderful smell. hopefully it further dissipates by morning. oh yeah, i killed damon shortly after i realized the lingering smell drives me insane...so i'll be needing a new roommate for next semester, let me know if you are interested...we have four bathrooms, a lot of space, and a lot of fish.
it's getting late so i'll have to (once again) put off further comments until tomorrow, except for the following statements made in bullet format:
-see Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. sure it's rated PG and based on a children's book, but if you have ANY imagination at all you should at enjoy it to some extent. it was particularly entertaining to me because of all the 'creatures'. very well done, and yes, it was soundtrack-worthy (now an accessory ranking to the stars out of 5 system) *****
-i ate red snapper for the first time saturday...check another species (family Lutjanidae) off the list. the restaurant "Pelago's" also gets high marks.
-at double D's (our other friend damon d., we call him double D to avoid confusion with the other human of the same name that is our roommate) birthday/ice cream party tonight (which was exquisitely prepared/arranged by his g/f gwen) i met an indian girl named jen, this was fascinating to me and would be kind of like if you met a white person named gandhi. also noted is that they at one point had the discovery channel on and a fish show came on...at which point me, damon, ron, and double D turned into complete fish-nerds and were allowed to do the audio commentary ourselves.
-erin and janine's party was a great (and crazy) time as was expected. we were also introduced to what is probably one of the most fascination inventions of our time...invisible kool-aid. i almost didn't believe it when i saw it (or when it was supposedly in my glass) but this stuff is great. we are definitely going to be integrating it into the next Party at the Tank (IV), which will be coming up next semester <:><
that's all for now, i'll leave you with a few of the (hundreds of) shots erin took at her place/rick's on thursday:
party starts at the attic (aka the residence of erin & the 86'ers). damon, laura (86.2), and i enjoy an invisible kook-aid beverage.
several people (such as julia) enjoyed messing up my hair over the course of the evening...too bad that with the way it is now, one really can't mess it up. AJ and hal also debated on which way looks better, which was humorous.
damon, me, and janine at Rick's
me & erin at rick's...as one can imagine a stop at Panchero's was definitely in order later that night.
