I’ve been bringing an apple to school every day this year as part of my lunch. I’m feeling good about eating some kind of plant material. I’m sure it’s good for me. About a month ago, I said that after slicing and coring an apple with one of those handy-dandy all-in-one slicer thingies, I would wrap it in Press’n Seal. Using Press’n Seal daily seemed extravagant though, so I looked for something else.
And I found it! It’s a carryout soup container. It’s exactly the right size for a sliced apple. You’re welcome, environment. You’re welcome, Lauren.
Now if I can just decide on a washing schedule for the container… it’s getting kind of sticky.
My school’s spring musical is happening this weekend. It’s “Fiddler on the Roof”. I went last night. I loved it! I wasn’t sleepy at all, even though it was WAY past my bedtime.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen “Fiddler on the Roof” before. I didn’t remember the story at all. But I did know the songs. All of them. Why is that? I remember singing “Sunrise, Sunset” for voice lessons in college, but why would I know the others? I knew them almost well enough to sing along. Is it from childhood? …Or did I once participate in a showing of this musical and now I’ve forgotten it? I’m completely puzzled.
I’ve had a plastic shower curtain liner for a while now. Over time it has become stained with water and with that pink stuff that seems to grow around my drains. I tried washing it in the washing machine, but it tore. While I was at the store, I decided to go for a fabric liner. Since my bathtub has two exposed sides, I’ve used a fabric liner on the end for years. It also gets stained, but it is easy to wash. Fabric won’t tear in the washing machine, so it will last longer than the plastic liner. But it costs five times as much. Will it last five times as long as the plastic liner? That remains to be seen…
The DVR (digital video recorder) on my cable box isn’t working. That means I can’t record shows. That means I have to watch them in realtime. It is an impossible task, because some of the shows I watch are on at the same time. And it’s really interesting to see how much I care about TV shows. Not as much as I thought. I saw that a couple of my shows are on Hulu, so I can watch them there. The others don’t appear to be available in complete episode form, so I had to watch them last night or not at all. When 9:00pm hit, suddenly TV wasn’t as important as sleep. Sorry, 9pm shows, I won’t be watching you anymore. (Until I get a new cable box) (which will be after today sometime) (if I remember to call the cable place)
I needed a battery, but was too lazy to go very far for it, so I just went across the street to the gas station. I was in luck! They had it. But something was really strange about the packaging:
The casing of the battery looked like a Duracell, but the packaging looked generic. The date stamped on the bottom of the battery was weird too. It was May of 2010. And it didn’t look like the original bottom of the battery. It looked re-conditioned or something. I have a battery tester, so I checked to see if it had any power. It did.
I only needed it for a one-time use, so I threw it away after I was done. Who knows what would happen with such a frankenstein battery? And I think next time I need a battery, I’ll go a little farther and get it at the drug store.
