is it just me?

you could eat off of it. or maybe not. there is a student lounge in my building which is nice because it has a microwave and a coke machine. the microwave is pretty gross, but at least your food doesn't have to touch that other cooked on stuff. there is a refrigerator but it is pretty much a toxic waste dump and I do not store food there. and then there is the sink. you know, kitchen sinks are gross. we clean them at home with a good amount of regularity, so we forget how nasty they are. but the one here does not get cleaned. it is equipped with a prehistoric sponge that must be so contaminated with germs that it might actually kill you if you sniffed it. there is also some dishwashing liquid, but people just keep filling the thing with water since it ran out in 2004 and no one has bothered to buy more, so now the water is basically just water with maybe 2 suds in it. today I was debating whether my spoon actually got dirtier just by being held under the running water (no sponge or dish liquid) in the vicinity of this travesty of a washing place. I decided that maybe I should just throw it away.

today I am going to see my in-laws for Thanksgiving. I will promise you that no fewer than 4 out of 6 dishes will have dog hair in them. yum. it will be interesting to see how the human swiffer does in such an environment.

happy thanksgiving.
