Waffles make things better.
I’m back to the apartment! By the grace of powers unseen, upstairs neighbors did not manage to burn down the building in our absence. There may be a nationwide Eggo waffle shortage, but fortunately, Mom was gracious enough to give … Continue reading

Halfway back to Flat-land.

Kim, better than vampires.
My running at home is not going so well. Yesterday, I got out four miles, but my knee started aching towards the end. Today, it still felt off, so I went on a long walk with Mom and the dog … Continue reading
Carry me back to old Virginia.
After two days of driving (We’re not hardcore drivers.), the boyfriend and I arrived safely in Richmond. I started kicking and screaming with excitement when we crossed the Virginia state line. Then I made the boyfriend pull over at a … Continue reading

A glimpse into the funny-looking past.
It is cold in the apartment. (In fact, I’m probably going to get a fatherly lecture over Thanksgiving break about the importance of insulating our basement.) Since I am cold from the moment I crawl out of bed, the idea … Continue reading

Oh hey, a strike is comin’!
First, Happy Veterans’ Day/Armistice day…or rather, thank you, Veterans! And in commercial holidays, it is also apparently National Pepero Day, in which people give each other thin cookie sticks. (The “11″ in the date looks like two thin sticks.) I … Continue reading
