So, today was going to be my Get Down to Business and Work Day. I really need it. I got up a little before noon--last night was an amusing night but involved staying up until after three--and went to breakfast. While there, we decided to go to Trader Joe's to get some stuff to eat that isn't Commons food.

On our walk to Trader Joe's we saw this avocado-colored refrigerator/freezer out on someone's driveway at 36th and Steele with a sign on it saying "Free--works fine." We decided that we'd try to take it home with us if it were still there when we got back. At Trader Joe's we got lots and lots of yummy food and paid for it communally, so that was very good. Then Susie and I went and petted some dogs while Jay and Lizard went over to Limbo to get some other stuff. I encountered a golden retriever who growled and snapped at me. It was the first time a dog's ever done that to me, and I was surprised that a golden retriever would. His owner said he had an attitude, but that's still really weird.

Anyway, we started discussing the possibilities for this fridge, if it turned out to be there, and decided we should decorate it and use it as our communal fridge. We're college students, right? It seemed really essential and we hoped it would still be there. When we got back, the fridge was still there, but the man who had put it out said two guys had gone to get their jeep so that they could take it home.

Susie and I rushed back to Steele to find some sort of cart to bring back the fridge and to put our frozen goods from Trader Joe's away. I found someone who had a pretty flimsy dolley and took it back to the fridge. The guys hadn't come back yet with their jeep, but we agreed that the dolley wouldn't work. So the guy who owned the fridge offered to let us use his dolley, and then proceeded to bring it all the way back to Steele West for us, just because he thought he could handle the dolley better than we could. He was really great about it and helped us a lot. And we got the fridge to Lonelytown (Steele West), which is slightly less lonely for it.

We decorated the fridge amusingly, with lots of geeky Discordian-type comments and such. There's magnetic poetry thrown on there in a disorganized fashion. It looks fabulous. I am very proud of us.

Oh yeah, and I have a lot of work to do. Myeh.

Six days until Sparkle Christmas
