a while back my friend H felt like "man food," so she had me over to a dinner of boiled potatoes and frozen beef nubs that cooked up in minutes to ground beef-- like in tacos. tonight i took the nubs one step further and added some old el paso taco seasoning that i actually found at the supermarket. et voila! a taco feast! without tortillas, lettuce, tomato, cheese or sauce! ha!
today was warm for the area-- probably in the low 40s-- and windy. so windy, in fact, that i could barely push one of the school's doors open against the wind after lunch.
i'm trying to think of ways to fill my days without spending money. internet is free at school, so i got that going for me. i'm well-stocked with books and magazines, so that's cool. but i know in a few days i'll be dying to see what's going on outside of my room, so i may go see a movie. "oceans 12" was playing, in english, but is now gone. too bad. it sounds like the perfect nothing movie to lighten my mood. i may cave in and see "alexander" even though i heard it sucks big time. colin farrell is overrated!!
i'm getting over my second cold in about 3 weeks and once that's over i'm determined to walk all around this city, down streets i haven't been down before, throughout my neighborhood, etc. i may even get the girls together for a true taco night-- this time with tortillas.
