Jun. 8th, 2004 01:54 pmRosemary bread and extremely sharp cheddar makes a really marvelous grilled cheese sandwich. (Which reminds me, I have to get my hands on a cooler sometime in the next month or so if I'm going to buy cheese at Trader Joe's when I get there for my birthday trip. Apparently I'm also being taken to see Troy sometime that weekend.)
I pulled all the blank paper out of my notebooks. There was so much of it left that I'll be shocked if I have to buy notebook paper again before I graduate. GIve me a binder and some file pockets and I'll be all set. Computer classes don't take up a whole lot of paper, and translation classes don't take up as much as you'd think unless I'm doing sight translation to be handed in. Then I write on every other line so I have space to make corrections in the drafts, and so that the prof has space to write comments.
Ever since skreeky mentioned Club 977, and I realized that having a cable modem means I can actually listen to streaming radio, I've been listening to it fairly regularly. Cultural late bloomer that I am, I discovered 80s music sometime in the 90s. I am now discovering that there's more 80s music than the stuff that gets overplayed on the radio. (Well, duh, of course there is.)
I really wish Kent had plastic recycling. It grates on me to have to put milk jugs and soda bottles and yogurt containers in the regular trash. I reuse the yogurt containers, at least. Come to think of it, I wonder if Ohio has plastic recycling anywhere, since it has no refund on soda receptacles. (I used to know people who saved their soda cans and drove to Michigan when they had enough of them, since Michigan has a 10-cent refund.) The only plastic recycling I've seen is the grocery-bag-recycling in the grocery store (which I keep forgetting about until I'm on the way out of the store with yet more bags I don't want to keep around).
I keep debating making key lime pie, and not doing it because it's more fun to bake things when there are people other than me around to eat them.

I wish you were closer to Oberlin, because I am visiting my folks this weekend.
Did I mention they're professors there?
