hey, Baby Pink! Howza?

Yeah, y'all'll be seeing me around more. I got the DSL but regretfully declined on the cable, so I have no TV (how am I going to get ALIAS? Fuck if I know.)

It's my last semester of school! I student teach this semester (I start next week) and I grad in May with my 2nd MA. Go, team me. And I've lost 20 pound since this summer and did 12 loads of laundry in the last 4 days.

And I've started a new novel. And I got the new Writer's MArket for Xmas.

I'm all agog over myself.

ita, I've thought about a French press; they're different for tea and coffee, right?

And I have at-home DSL

Yay! More Erin for us! We want more Erin!

See, that makes me happy.

they're different for tea and coffee, right?

I have been known to use mine for tea, on the odd occasion. But I'm philistinical.

And dude -- TWELVE LOADS OF LAUNDRY??? You're a star.

(I tease because I am taken aback by the other less mortal accomplishments)

(woeful) I have about 5 more loads. My rattty tee shirts apparently breed like rats when left in the romantic confines of my closet.

David! Yes, I have no TV, so I will be torturing y'all with my trials, tribualtions and tertiary accomplishments.

Congrats, Erin! The 12 loads of laundry clearly surpass your other achievements.

(Not really, but I'm jealous. I've been avoiding the washer and dryer for a week and a half now.)

That laundry has been around, some of it, for about a year. It was starting to look like a creature from the Cthlulu universe.

It hissed when I poked it with a stick. So I stuck it in some hot water with detergent and this old grimoire I found at the Salvation Army store.

It doesn't hiss anymore, but some of the pants developed a mysterious third leg..

Geez, I think all my and my BF's clothes, plus the sheets and towels wouldn't add up to 10 loads. (I know we do 5 loads of wash a week in a regular washer).

am pretty well. shouldn't complain. 12 loads is amazing. I shoudl really do laundry this week. hmm. maybe tomorrow.

ok my copies are made for the meeting. we are scheduled to start in 10 minutes, yet no one is here.

My take on the French press is that you have to have a Disposall in your sink -- to eat up the grinds.

Well, my old roommate dumps her grounds down the un-disposall-ed sink drain every day, and it hasn't hurt the sink, as far as I could tell while living there. She may have dumped the initial mass out in the garbage, but she rinsed out in the sink, no problem.

I don't find the French press to be much work at all, once you get the hang of how many scoops to put in there.

Hm. I was interdicted by vast parental authority never to let coffee grinds go down a sink drain. Under the same powerful injuction as Never Wear A Black Bra Under A White T-Shirt, except for some actual reason besides aesthetics.

Hi, Erin! It has been many a moon. I do less than 1 load per week of laundry, on account of I own hundreds and hundreds of pairs of underwear. Laundromats are not my friends.
