This is weird

· 🌡️ 24°F

For once I'm the one at home and Jason is the one out of town. I have a weekend by myself - I have no idea what I'm going to do! One of the things I took home with me sorta from California was a recipe from Trader Joe's for an easy pizza. Frozen naan bread (I hope I can get this at Super Bazaar or somewhere local), chevre and vegetable tapenade. This is the sort of thing even my brother can put together, but I want to test it out to see if it would be a good party item.

I also have been reading a book by a Briton named Simon Winchester - its called A Crack In The Edge Of The World. It is a historical account of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, told through the eyes of an author who is an Oxford-trained geologist. The man writes beautifully and it really is a gripping read, but right now I've been working through a section of the book that is more technical in nature and its been a bit of a lowlight. Still though, a friend recommended the book highly to me and for the most part I've enjoyed it. My progress has been slow - I always wait until too late at night before I decide to read.

Also my kitchen needs some TLC. @jason is a lazy bastard left me with the job of taking the bottles back all by myself when we agreed we'd do it together! Usually when it comes to cleaning, I prefer to just be by myself and crank it out - all I need is time, weed, music and the right supplies. I found an awesome cleaner that I want to recommend to you guys - its an Oxy product that is a little thicker that is meant for bathroom use. I haven't done an environmental impact study to determine the earth friendliness of the product - all I know is that its awesome. Still though do any of you have a suggestion for a product to use on a laminate countertop? We have a white counter and I have faint but still annoying wine stains, etc. that are driving me crazy.

    Is it the Oxy spray for the shower? If so I do know that it does work very good. It is pretty toxic though and isn't very good to be breathing in. I will say it again though that Method's Eucalyptus and Mint shower spray is amazing. It broke down deposits that the toxic cleaners wouldn't touch in my shower. Save the Oxy for very occasional use if you have mildew stains. As far as the wine stain...not quite sure. Have you used anything that contains bleach? I don't use bleach as much as I used to but rather as a last resort. Just dilute it with water and put it on the spot and see if that doesn't take care of it.

    Every time someone mentions Trader Joe's I cry a little.

    I miss them. They never return my calls.

    I'm gonna go with "toxic". Generic soft scrub is the shit!

    'all i need is time, weed, music and the right supplies.' i used to smoke and go on cleaning binges. Once i moved a couch into my roommates bedroom at 2 am while i was high and cleaning and it took three men to get it back out. you just get so focused on the mundane little tasks.. have fun!!!

    I almost bought that book last week! However, Paulo Coelho won in the battle of funds that day. Now I know my instincts were right about it, I'll check it out next visit.
