the degus are gone
14/10/2004 // 10:17 pm
when i got home from the lab mike's shoes were gone. the door was unlocked. the tv was on. his computer was on. he wasn't here. the degus had escaped. or so i thought.
apparently, in a fit of rage, he took them into the backyard and sent them on their way. then he went out 4 times to try to find them because he'd realized what he'd done.
- an example of why i fear his anger. he gets completely illogical
- an example of why this "man" cannot ever have children
but all the other girls were doing it

i finally went to ikea to get kitchen shelves. the kegs are now gone. thank god.
got home and went to the new co-op for some groceries with kim and dan. that place is so nice and big. it reminds me of grocery stores at home with bistros and sushi counters and full-out bakeries. man, i HATE safeway. the best part is that they have price comparisons with the safeway in my hood and yeah.. co-op. i wish it would have landed on top of my neighborhood store, and not taken 3 years for them to build in such a dumb place.
when i got home from the shopping adventures, i put my shelves together *happy* and mike was out doing laundry. then he came back with a canister of blood orange tea leaves for me, and some more painting supplies for his big idea. he reported the location of a desk for free behind the art supply store. we went to get it. carried only the top back. man, it was heavy.
the living room is all rearranged now, for the better. no more sharing my desk. he was super sulky about having wasted his entire day on not studying and complaining about not having any legs for the table top and how i tore the living room apart in my excitement. i gave up 4 of my milk crates for the legs, and went out and stole two bakery legs. it's a pretty rockin' desk set up now. and so much bigger than mine. i have a big clunking monitor on a little desk and he has his laptop and loads of space against the front wall. bastardo!
the degus escaped saturday, yesterday, and then today. i hate them so much. when i took my computer apart i discovered they've nearly chewed through ALL of my computer cables and wires and had actually completely chewed through my router power cord, i just hadn't noticed yet.
i think they need to be released for the winter.. the devonian gardens are awaiting their arrival. i'm still soooo pissed off about this chewing thing.

i've been out of bed and trying to be productive for about two hours now. ugh. saturdays.
i got in a little after one last night. kim, dan, and not my mike (and me!) went to a dive bar in an otherwise trendy area to go see one of our friend's bands play. it was disappointing. but they did have it together, i guess. i thought that since troy is deep and soulful and never opens his mouth unless to say something astounding it might be reflected in his music. not so. nickleback and creed covers. it's not his fault. he's just trying to make a buck and playing those songs is the only way to get his ever so recent graduating class (so many kids) to come out.
tonight is greek night... i've gotta get my toga on. i'm excited to make baklava and such with kim today. we're going to finish up the duct tape bag i've been working on for her.
on that scene, a guy who owns a store that sells overpriced goods to people naive enough to pay for them wants me to make bags and such goodies en masse. for real. legit and all. i'm so wanting to. my current style is somewhat sketchy on the copywrite front, but i've been getting better.
also, one of the degus escaped right as i was getting up, and it's seriously ruining my day. who wants a fucking rat running loose around their house? seeing a rat run by your feet out of the corner of your eye is seriously disturbing. they're actually making me physically ill. i need to get the hell out of here.
