my life in non-sequiturs
My mom gave me 30 eggs. I should have known that I cannot ask for anything without getting way too much of it. :P Anyway, I am down to 25 eggs, and may make quiches or deviled eggs or something with the rest.
My iPod is not dead. Apparently it was "extremely out of battery", which is why it wasn't charging, and I needed to do a "system restore" on it. I know nothing about hardware or software, but if it's extremely out of battery, why the hell can't I just charge it with the battery charger? Isn't that an indication of poor hardware design?
I finally finished the Umberto Eco book. It is the most boring thriller I have ever read in my life, and I thought the ending was so stupid I almost threw the book but I was on a crowded train. Really, what the hell?
I have started reading Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine, and it was a relief. It's about two Native American families in North Dakota and is told in a series of vignettes from different perspectives. It hooked me from the first sentence and I am reading it slowly to savor it.
I finally got mark to go to the Arabic market next to us. Some of his relatives used to own it, but they sold it - looks like to other Arabs. It's really a small deli/grocery store filled with goods you can't get elsewhere. We picked up a bunch of olives, some Arabic flatbread, and some pickled stuff. Next time we go back we might pick up some Arabic coffee (which, even though I'm not a huge coffee drinker, I've had before - it tastes to me, like really, really dark tea) and some Turkish delight.
We are not having good luck with our apartment hunt right now. We are being very picky, I know, but I don't want to settle for anything, and neither of us wants to move more than two miles from where we live. Oh well.
