While my computer is copying databases, I will share this story. Last night at like 1AM the police showed up at my house. They seemed realy manic but maybe it was because i was tired. I woke up because I heard people talking loud downstairs and it was them. Apparently, some dude, opened our front door, reached into a jacket in the vestibule and stole (e:matthew)'s id. The police thought the house was an abandoned house they said. I think it happend are around 6PM. Some dude asked me and my brother for $4 to get to Medina. I had $.27 cents for him. Then we went up the driveway to the car and by the time we got down the driveway he was gone. I thought it was weird, but I never thought he was in the house or I would have gone back in the door and smashed his face. He never actually got in the house part because he (e:terry) and (e:matthew) were home probably.

According to the police Mr. Avery Leeper drug addict stole the wallet and then got busted on narcotic charges with our credit cards. They told us to report to the property offices in the morning and they would have the stuff. When we went their their was no record of the case or of the property. The property office sent us to the station and they weren't too sure either at first. Then some nice police officer looked into it further and it turned out the detective forgot our stuff in his locker maybe but he won't be in till next sunday. Weird. The whole thing was so bizaree. Next time homeless looking dude asks for money near my house I am going to punch him.

I was saying to terry I have no idea what I would be like if he was in the house and so was I. I really think I would keep hurting repetitively in some severe way.

Okay so why are bugs and food a running theme in my journal this week. I guess food has always been the theme of my journal in some way, it is the energy that I use to make the site and other things happen - so I suppose that the food I eat is an appropriate topic. Usually, I like to eat really tastey things like scallops.

But for some reason this week, I have had this incredible craving for Top Ramen Oodles of Noodles, so the meal consisted of $10 worth of scallops and 15 cents worth of noodles. I swore to myself that i would never eat them again after college but somehow they were just calling to me in the store.



They are so cheap that it is really ridiculous that anyone is staving. I got a six pack for 90 cents and they taste quite yummy. It seems as though they have removed hydrogenated oil from the list of ingredients although I am not sure if their ingredients list is something that changes per package or not. It was hard ot get a clear picture with the steam.



Okay, so anyone who glamorizies the 80s has truly forgetton what the the 80s and early 90s were like. I was going through some stuff I found in the attic. Don't pretend they are freaks. A lot of you girls looked like that.



Sidenote - who forgets all the photos from their life when they move and hides a porn magazine with them. Double sidenote - very innapropriate - what woman enjoys eating some man's cum out of her vagina with a spoon and using a mirror to make sure she gets it all. I will spare you the pic.

Then I found this huge cricket in the basement, chipring away. I reminded me of my grandparents house over on Prospect. When I was a kid we would catch these black big crickets and keep them as pets. For some reason I never saw that kind in the suburbs.



I will leave you with a peaceful video of basra eating. I really need a better video camera on my phone. Come on 2010 - I cannot wait.

I would never hire a Harris Beach attorney again. They have barely kept in contact with me through the outrageously extended process and provide only the scantest details of what is going on. Here is the latest enchange with my attorney's office. I would say it is by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had with any company - even Sprint.

Well Paul, the seller's attorney or the church (not sure which one) has hired an attorney in South Caroline to prepare the petition for the Court's signature. As soon as this is signed, we can close.

Hey Jackie,
Why an out of state attorney. Should I worry about the deal going
through, or are they just really slow? I keep doing work on the house because winter is approaching and it has to be done, but I don't want them to just change their mind or something and screw me out of the house and all the fixing/upkeep I have done.

Is it appropriate for me to call his attorney directly to get more details? Paul

No Paul, his attorney cannot talk to you - it's unethical so please
don't put her in that position.

I just received an email from that attorney preparing the petition for the court and it is almost ready for presentation. By the looks of
things, it should be just a few short weeks. Hang in there Paul, we are a whole lot closer than we were before. The attorney that is handling this seems to be very much on top of things.

So I guess I should tell everyone about it. On september 30th at around 3PM is our official housewarming party. It starts early but then should go into the night.

Feel free to bring anyone you want. It's at 24 Linwood. I will probably post about it again, but I wanted to get it out there so that you can start planning for it. The only details I have are the most important ones. First the address and secondly that (e:hodown) and (e:twisted) will be present. It should be a magical evening.

I am almost sad to mix these three food related topics because they don't deserve to be int he same journal but I am too lazy to make three posts.

delicious sushi
Last night (e:theecarey), (e:terry) and I went to have sushi at the new sushi place on Elmwood across from spot. I feel bad that I don't know the name but the food was excellent, the price was delicious and the service was great. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a pic until after we ate most of the plate.





This is fucking delicious, I love fish eggs, now I have a favorite food after octopus and squid.


canning food
(e:terry) is doing a good job taking over for Nonna (e:matthew,384) when it comes to canning. He even canned some pears which look and smell so yummy. I wish we had collected more. Out of the about 2000 pears that grew in our backyard we ate or canned about 50 and the rest went bad. Next year we will plan better and do bushels of jams and cans.







And then the gross part, that is so fucking sick I will never eat that nasty couscous again

I decided to go through some food boxes after I found some bugs in some couscous. I thought it was a freak incident until I found that every package of couscous in my house had bugs and the worst part is three of the were sealed. The only flavor with no bugs was the garlic one. Aparently, coucous worms hate garlic. I seiroulsy will never eat it again. I can't imagine how many times I ate the nasty bugs. I decided to keep the one bag of so many bugs as a sort of ant farm on my mantel. It is completely sealed and yet is a thriving colony. All of the bxoes came from the coop, coincidence?

If you have your own boxes of couscous, check it out. I am so curios if this is an isolted incidence or not. I think that it is not as the bag was sealed.
