Personification Life OOC IX [CLOSED]

[Swith Witherward]

Tilt, is there any other ideas you want to toss out before I am judged for approval?

No, that was my major lightbulb. I'm just waiting for feedback. Our power couple has been busy.

Don't look at me. The only power I have is the power to make him fix coffee in the morning, and that's only because the coffee is out of reach.

And the cereal. And the drinking glasses. And a host of other stuff. Except rice and dog kibble. That's in canisters in a lower cupboard.

I used to buy blocks of Parmesan and Romano cheeses. I don't do that whole Kraft fake grains in a green canister thing. So, when I first moved it, he gave me hell over the cheese. "Who eats that much?", basically. When it comes to rice, I'd always bought the Minute stuff, in what I thought was a large box. 14oz was a lot of rice for me!

And then he comes home from shopping and he's lugging this massive pseudo-woven bag. The thing was huge! 20 fucking pounds!

That doesn't last the whole month. It used to take me 2 months to use up my paltry 14oz "fake rice".

I'll add to that my misconception of meals. Hey, Asian guy likes to cook. Awesome! I'm going to be eating all the noms found in an Asian restaurant. Heaven!

Psh, hell no.

Breakfast: rice ball, one scrambled egg, dash of soy sauce. Sometimes there's broth.
Lunch: rice ball, small portion of leftovers from the night before.
Dinner: rice ball, something simple in the wok, or baked fish. Sometimes Miso soup.

And here he thought he'd be eating all the noms found in an Italian restaurant. Boy, what on earth possessed you to think I'd spend an hour or more making you lasagna?! That shit's expensive and time consuming!

Breakfast: an egg, toast (pre non-gluten days).
Lunch: tuna salad, or green salad.
Dinner: boiled or baked chicken, a veg, potatoes... or baked fish, or crock pot stew or chicken garden salad.

East vs West Food Expectations Level: Disappoint!

Apparently spring or egg rolls take just as much prep time as lasagna. There's even national borders we're not allowed to cross. He's not allowed to touch my stoneware baking dishes... made in Italy, not meant for cooking on top of the damn stove like a stew pot. I'm not allowed to touch his wok... made in Japan, I burned stuff in it, and then I scrubbed it with steel wool to clean the char out and removed all the 'seasoning'.

Who do I owe posts to?

Sigh all the talk bout food and I'm hungry now

You two sound like Shakespearean comedy.

My life is but a calm one.

But I will say this. Since my mom left around Thursday to go out of town, my dad and I have been the only ones at home. And pretty much every night, I find less and less food to cook. I've had Mac and Cheese twice now. There's no ham for a sandwich (looks like I'm making grilled cheese tonight), we're running out of eggs, and I haven't had a full three meals a day (only two). I guess my dad and I are just hard-pressed to go grocery shopping. I hate it. I hate it almost as much as I hate making the lists. Nevermind the fact that I'd have to take someone else's car there (mine's really low on gas) and I'd probably have to go by myself to pick up things for a family of four, myself included. Not to mention I'd need money too since I'm flat broke, and mom usually has all the money.

So we wait until today when she comes home and we get to go pick up more stuff. At least the house won't be a mess when she comes back.

AAAND I'm back, in more ways than one. That is, I spent the past 20 min or so refounding alts.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Soon shall be my official re-return. Need electrons and data transmission.

[Swith Witherward]

GT, I'm going to reply IC tomorrow afternoon.

It's been one of those crazy days where you actually have to turn the music down because you can't read the drive-through menu otherwise.

Tag post for this alt. How goes it, everyone?

Oh you know, trying to keep the world spinning on its axis.

Impressive. I had no idea that you were strong enough to do that.

Oh, pssha, its a minor effort after you take into account the gravitational stresses. And my laziness.

Mostly my laziness

[Swith Witherward]

Ah, lazy days!

No seriously, it's hilarious.

Meh, start it now, post tomorrow.

Incredibly accurate. The only things missing were noises from somebody chewing food or breathing into the receiver.

You can thank (company redacted)'s training department. We all thought it was a riot.

I thank them indeed! It would make a good training aid here at the slave pits of doom.

[The BranRiech]

The fuck even happened to me?

I must have been running on fumes, because I was perfectly awake one second, and then I wake up about 20 minutes later having fallen asleep on my bed, jaw pressed into an awkward position on the mattress, and feeling as tired as a trainwreck. My jaw still hurts a bit, but I'm not tired anymore.

Careful, there might be a tiger in your bathroom.

*says nothing about the CHCl₃*

[The BranRiech]

Even worse, a Tiger with Chloroform. I dunno', I don't think so. It's probably the minimal amount of sleep I've been getting, the past hour has felt like 4 hours really.

[Swith Witherward]

Ten problems only short girls understand.

On the other hand, I think I'm caught up with IC?

[The Carlisle]

So I'll be home from vacation tomorrow night. That means I'll have my good old internet back! I'll be able to post without losing everything because the flukey internet connections give out.
