I loooove sushi




THAT is awesome! I made some sushi last night while my roommate was away. I did one inside out roll with teriyaki salmon, strips of carrot, cucumber, and cream cheese...very yummy. I also did one regular roll that was the same as the inside out roll except I didn't put cucumber it it. I also had my first attempt at tempura carrots and onions. They turned out ok but the tempura tasted...interesting. I don't know if it's because it was premade stuff that came in a bag or if I used the wrong kind of oil and it wasn't hot enough. Who knows. They were pretty good too. Of course we had some miso soup and some cucumbers in lime juice with sesame seeds. NOM!

Sushi, amazingly, can easily be done with no money. My roommate and I bought a giant bag of rice, a big ole bag of imitation crab sticks (that are perfect size for rolls), we have salmon and telapia. All we need are some fresh veggies every now and then. I wonder how well a bag of frozen green beans would do. hmm. But we both love it. It doesn't take us long to make and we don't have to spend much money on it. (Until we run out of fish).

On a different note...my room is still a mess from moving but it's getting there. I can be done today. I fixed my closet yesterday so I could actually hang up clothes...imagine that.

You know what I absolutely love? *slightly...dripping sarcasm* Is roommate drama. I live with two other people. There's Laura who I lived with at the other apartment and then there's Jen....we'll leave her as just Jen. Now, I'm friends with both of them but they are not friends with each other. Each of them think the other is a bitch. Jen likes to have her way even if someone says no. For example, since Laura is sleeping out in the dining room, Jen asked her if she wanted curtains around for some privacy. She got a straight up 'no' for an answer. What did Jen do the other day? Put up the curtains anyway. Was Laura pissed? Absolutely. Laura also hid the curtain from Jen because even after Laura took it down and was pissed...Jen planned on putting it back up. WTF? Now...since Jen is not on the lease at this point...if things get messy then we could technically just tell her to pack up her stuff and go find another place to live. Will it turn to that? I don't know...stay tuned!

My dad's started calling me more to see how I'm doing. Weird. I am always the one to call my parents and see what's happening. While I lived in Spokane, I went three weeks to see if they would call. Nope. My dad's called me twice now all on his own. I actually need to call and talk with my mom because well....it's my mom. I dunno if I'll be going down to Tucson anytime soon. Depends on the financial situation.

I may sell my car because...it would save me around $500 a month. That's money that I could be using to pay off the debt. I could deal with the bus...I don't like it but I could do it. I'm going to see what other job I get before I do it so I know if I can go from one job to the other by bus or walk in a short amount of time. Then I could also have money to be able to go to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. I wish I could go sooner but that's just not something that can happen at this point.

But anyhow...I don't think there's much else. Back to the cleaning!
