so i guess i have a lot of bad karma going around. my last place was also a doozie. shady people, misinformed decisions, lost. the Mansion, as it was called, was a terrific place. dark, hardwood floors, wall panels, and doors, a very roomy kitchen, great roommates….. well they WERE great roommates. little did i know that they were actually move out, most of them, as i was moving in. the house committee dissipated. my deposit was lost. on top of that, i lost my job. hehe pouring my soul for the world to see, stupidly. just another proof that the world is not fair, and one has to mold it into their own vision. or mold their vision to fit the world. whichever works. my vision desperately needs an editor.

so i watched a couple of german based/language movies recently, and i could catch a handful of phrases. it frustrates me, because i used to pick up languages so quickly. in high school, i could carry pretty smooth conversations with my great aunt who’s from Austria. plus, it’s another ego-boost to be able to watch an international flick without subtitles. maybe i need to brush up on my mandarin as well, as even these movies get my ears stumped.

so i’ve been subscribing to many blogs and 1 magazine (Vegetarian Times) and am just so darn excited to start trying out new recipes and new cultural cuisines. my only hesitation is actually buying the ingredients because of my financial state.
