I've been doing a lot of reading and movie watching this past week - which is odd because I've also been getting a lot of school work done. Maybe I am just super-productive this week...
Anyways, I have some news to break to everyone: the infamous 'bacon couches' are on craigslist and two people have already offered to buy them.
So there is a good chance that these beauties will be gone by the end of the week - and then we'll live for three weeks without couches before moving out (I didn't know they would go so fast!). One of our kitchen tables is already gone too, and I think I'm going to start packing things up this weekend (and maybe mailing winter clothes home until I have a stable job and apartment lined up).
On that note, I've been applying to jobs like crazy again - the food industry, basic chemical firms, and most recently vegan cosmetic manufacturers. I'll also be surfing the 'net for rent pricing and places to live later today, though I have a temporary arrangement for right after graduation.
Completely random comment - kinda feel like painting my nails since they are starting to get ridiculously long. Oh well.
Man, these bacon couches are the best. And no, I didn't advertise them as 'bacon couches' - though I really wanted to. FYI - the 'bacon couches' got their name when we bought them two years ago. I was living with a vegan, a vegetarian, and an omnivore - and I was pretty much vegan by this point in time (occasionally ate some seafood). When the two vegs and I were bringing the couches into the apartment, the omni commented that they looked like bacon - which is super-duper ironic because we who bought/chose the couches did not eat bacon. So then it became this running gag amongst our friends that the 'vegetarians don't eat meat- they sit on it'.
So many people have been on these couches - so many good memories. We'll all be sad to see them go - I know I will.
I did make the people who want to buy them promise to keep them together (like a family). I'm thinking about telling them the 'bacon story' - but only after they are paid for!
It's raining now, and I think I am gonna call Mom (yes, you) and see how she's doing.
Stay dry and warm!!
Just logged on. Sorry I missed your call; I was singing for a funeral this morning. Great couches. I'll talk to you this evening. Love always, Mom
