I've fallen into the Apartment Therapy blog and I can't get out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So...anyone else's evening involve setting a toaster oven on fire? Just me then?
(People, know how to use your fire extinguishers!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
CVS brand six-bladed razors. I do not know why, but I can tell you that after two years, these babies last for literally months at a time of thrice-weekly leg shaves. No joke.
Huh! I am obsessed with some Target brand ones, but Target is kind of a pain for me to get to. The three-blade CVS ones I bought recently were for shit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yikes, Jess!!!

I do love me some Apartment Therapy, Amy. (I'm still mad that Domino got cancelled.)
I did not set anything on fire tonight, Jessica, but I DID set my parents kitchen on fire three time between 12 and 17. Accidentally, I swear.

But now you get to go new toaster-oven shopping!
That sounded like more fun in my head.

In other product news, tonight I tried the Reed's Ginger "Brew," and not so much! Am I seriously going to have to buy the local one from the 7-11 for a proper Dark & Stormy at home??

Eek, Jess! Maybe don't burn your house down?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
So...anyone else's evening involve setting a toaster oven on fire? Just me then?
Not tonight.
I mean, it's happened before.
Clearly.
Fire extinguishers are good.
Everything okay, Jessica?

My apartment-mate did that . In 1995. Slacker! I've told that story here, maybe?
Anyway, typical college student found appliance, didn't work right: spring mechanism was broken. We all knew this, so we'd watch the toaster. One of my roommates was a notorious flake. Add to that I was working in a family owned bagel shop, and they'd always send me home with as many dayolds as I wanted, so we always had bagels.
Tanya put a sesame seed bagel in the toaster and apparently got distracted. I start hearing an alarming popping sound from my room and smell smoke as the smoke alarm begins to blare. Run to the kitchen and Tanya is standing in front of a flaming toaster. Popping sound was sesame seeds exploding. Tanya grabs the FLOUR to throw and I screech at her NO!!! and knock her into the wall as I rush to the counter. I yank the plug from the wall, shove open the kitchen window and by the cord, lob the flaming toaster out onto the walk. Right at class change time, freaking a bunch of students out.
We became known as the Flaming Toaster Bomb apartment.
