Another Reason I Hate Football (And Public Drunkenness)

Tonight we went out to take my sister to the train station. I thought of staying home, but I felt like I needed a break since I had spent all day sitting on the couch. Mr. Fob was grateful that I came to help navigate around the yucky traffic, and I was glad I had not been home when we got back to our apartment and discovered this.

Stupid football. Stupid alcohol. Stupid college students. Stupid rivalry.

PS--We have double pane windows so there is no glass in our apartment and no cold air coming in. We talked to the university police and hopefully we'll get it fixed by housing on Monday. I'm also going to talk to the housing office about some sort of fence around our patio, because I'm tired of things getting stolen and people throwing trash on our porch.

That's really terrible. I hope they fix it right away. I also wonder if they're double paned windows because this has happened before. . .

Good heavens! That is what I call totally unacceptable. I hope the housing office fixes things up for you -- and quick, too.

Wow, what a pain. Drunken fans are an awful bunch of people - sober angry fans are bad enough! Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

That's horrible! Do things get stolen off your patio often? That's even more horrible! And while it's awful that it happened at all, I imagine it might have been rather frightening to have been in the apartment when it did, so perhaps it's better that you weren't. Maybe. At any rate, I hope things get fixed up soon.

How icky. We were just in student housing ourselves and the apartments just through the fence from us were much wasted on riotous living. And one of them had a gun that we would actually hear go off at random times. I think the apartments were actually owned by Desmama's dad.

I am so sorry about your ankle and the window. Did you at least get a new bike out of the ordeal?

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".
