Tonight's dinner: A cinnamon granola bar, two teaspoons of peanut butter, and a bottle of Smirnoff. Just when I think I've hit a new mealtime low, suddenly drilling equipment appears. Not that it's that bad, really, but times like this make me feel like one of those women in the Lean Cuisine commercials. At least, I think it's Lean Cuisine. "Today, I had a handful of Skittles, three corn chips, and a half a can of Chicken and Stars snorted throught my nose with a straw."

Also, it's entirely possible my parents may have found a two-bedroom apartment in my hometown for $400 a month. *crosses fingers, hopes it's not horrible*

Two bedrooms for $400/month?! Duuuude, I wanna live in your hometown... Banff prices run about $1000/month for a *small one bedroom...

That was my reaction when my mom told me. And it's only two blocks from a grocery store, three from my bank, two from a mini-mart, and a block and a half away from the beer distributor. :)

Niiiice. I'm thinking of moving out of Banff and to Calgary, at least there's more stores and everything's a little cheaper. Businesses in tourist towns don't really cater to the locals' needs...

...the last time I paid $400 for rent was in 1991 and that was a crappy studio with a broken shower door and rather minimal kitchenage.

Holy cow.

Honestly. I can remember back before I moved to Virginia when I saw $400 to rent an apartment and thought, "OMG, it's so much!" And now I'm like, "$400?! Daaaaaaaamn. MINEMINEMINE."

That's one hell of a meal! I had portabella mushrooms with onion/scallion/quinoa stuffing and mashed potatoes. (sorry, I can't help but share when I have good food.)

Hello! Normally I hate it when people do this (by this: I mean, derail the comments from an unrelated livejournal entry to ask random fic questions), but I have to ask you a favor.

I help moderate the vmfanficutopia community, and we have a new challenge up - the assignment is to write about how characters first met. I wondered if you would consider posting "Making Friends", the one where Logan and Duncan meet in kindergarten over there. It's one of my all-time favorite fics, and it just fits the guidelines so well.

I'll give a shiny nickel. And a pony.

Okay, sure. :)

I've been meaning to join, too, but I keep forgetting because of real life. *toddles off to sign up and post*

Sweet!
