So I went to the USC grad student Barbecue/orientation yesterday. Approaching the field I immediately noticed a line of students the length of two city blocks. Wow, was this the check in line? I started rifling through my back for the online confirmation later I’d been told I MUST BRING for admittance, along with a … Read more
I’m hanging out on the sofa at my tenant’s apartment waiting for the delivery guys to show up with a new dishwasher. The “window” is between 8am and 12 pm, so I’ve been here since 8:00, but don’t expect them until 11:58. This is the apartment we could be living in if we kicked our … Read more

(Update: This car has sold thanks!) Sigh…Just found out that our buyer doesn’t have the money…and we’re leaving tomorrow. Should we tow it to Cali?Give it to a friend to sell? Or will someone miraculously call us at 850/212-5224 and come look at it this Sunday evening? (Probably at the Film School, where Paul will … Read more

It’s just the table–no sewing machine included.I got a great deal on this when I first moved here and was very excited when I thought of all the sewing projects I was going to do. What I didn’t realize is that some sewing machines are made to go in sewing cabinets like this one…and some, … Read more
