This is what my apartment looked liken when I moved in. Boxy. Very very boxy.<\/p>\n

Well, now I’m down to three boxes. Three boxes, people! The finish line approacheth! Soon I will have pictures of the niceness with the wall hangings and whatnot.<\/p>\n

I walk past a deli on my way to work that has a poster on the door. I noticed it the other day. Look.<\/p>\n

I realize that it’s supposed to be that the soup is so good, the design of angels on the bowl cannot resist and one of the angels is partaking via a straw. What I was convinced I saw the first six or so times I walked past it was that the angel was vomiting into the soup, and since the soup was made with angel vomit, it was heavenly, sort of. I’m not making this up. I swear that is what I thought. “Tomato Basil, now with transcendental emesis!” So not right.<\/p>\n

I see this every day on my way into my building. I’ll keep this short: I hate it. I hate it a LOT.<\/p>\n

See what I mean? Thankfully it’s Shark Week right now, so hopefully the sign will be replaced soon. Really soon. Like tomorrow, that would be nice.<\/p>\n

Addendum:<\/strong> July 30th – This morning they had replaced the Shark Week poster with a Mythbusters poster! Now, the Mythbusters poster has Jaime and Adam’s decapitated heads in jars like specimens, but it’s still a big improvement over Toothy McRedGums. I am happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
