Aliums!

Today while cooking, I broke the garlic press.

Mincing garlic is annoying.

Tomorrow, thank God, is Friday. I'm ready to sleep for twelve hours straight.

Still not dead

Hello, Blogland! I am, contrary to all other indications, not actually dead. I am, however, working full-time in San Francisco and also part-time at my internship ('Is that like time and a half?' I hear you ask - sadly, no, or at least the money isn't), and when I am not working I am doing all sorts of other important things like avoiding working on my thesis, cheering on Spain during the World Cup (joder, por fin España, ¡vamos! ¡Somos los campeones!!!!), witnessing crazy people do funny shit on Bart, eating a lot of fruit (why so many plums, tree, whyyyyy), stressing out about apartment-hunting in New York, watching the fifth season of The Wire, and being incredulous that it is, in fact, July. Ahh!

Today at work the thermostat was broken - or something - and was blasting cold air like none other right above my desk and the desk next to me. My neighbor and I spent the entire day wearing our jackets indoors. It was ridiculous.

Also today I have upped my credit limit to pay for stupidly expensive recording equipment that I will use once for my thesis and then hopefully re-sell to some sad Tisch student. I also dribbled tzatziki sauce all over my black jacket while eating a gyros for lunch. (Unrelateldy, my computer suggests I correct "tzatziki" to: ChatZilla, Kazantzakis, Tiertza, or TEirtza... and that last one is not a typo. Why does it know "ChatZilla" and not "tzatziki"? The other day I also had to teach it to spell "Obama" - that was a weird day.)

Thesis work is actually progressing. Marginally. I have made word lists and sentence tasks. Tonight I am purchasing ridiculous recorders and microphones, but it's okay, because my research grant is paying for it all! Great success.

And that is all.
