this weekend, i took a look at refrigerators in sears while i was at the mall. i've never had to deal with buying a fridge before, and since i might have to get one (i wish these darn people would just decide already if they're taking their fridge when they move), i figured i should know what the deal is.

first of all, WHOA, fridges are expensive, and huge! the sales woman in sears was really helpful, pointing out all the highlights of each one we looked at. it's amazing the technology that now goes into a big box that keeps your food cold, especially in the $2000 ones -- some had drawers that tilt out for easier access to your food... others had a "cold zone" for your milk and stuff to stay 10 degrees colder than the rest of the fridge... automatic ice and water... a giant wide drawer to hold party trays and pizza boxes... a sensor that knew when you were putting hot food in, and lowered the interior temprature so that your other food didn't spoil quicker.

i walked with the saleswoman, looking at all of these giant contraptions full of wacky features, and finally stopped in my tracks... i leveled with her: *doing a mental inventory* "look... right now in my apartment refrigerator, i have 4 lean cuisines, a dozen eggs, some leftover chicken, a stick of butter and 6 bottles of champagne." it was pretty embarrassing to admit that i practically only needed a dorm fridge to fit my stuff. but she got the message, and brought me over to the simpler ones under $1000. much more my speed. :)

today's quite an interesting day... the woman i've been filling in for over the last 7 months is finally back today, and tonight i get to see dick dale with
