Hi Scharr With a Vengeance!

I'm baaaack! Just for 24 hours. I'm here to see Stuart and Michelle, check up on dear old TA37, do some food shopping, water my plant, and go swingdancing tonight! Then I'll be back for real this Sunday to start the spring semester.

Only problem is, I left my keys at home. Dumb. Well Michelle and Pengpeng and I went food shopping and then Stuart let us in and we whipped up a FANTASTIC dinner:

TA37's New Year, Old Food Extravaganza

1) A salad comprised of bitter lettuce, roasted onions, celery, leftover popcorn shrimp and parmesan cheese, sprinkled with a dash of Mike's Hard Lemonade for zing. (Pro Tip: the specific vegetables you use don't matter; just use any vegetables in your fridge that don't look like they could kill a womp-womp).

2) Freezer-burned tater tots with sriracha sauce and ketchup borrowed from Michelle's house.

3) Swiss Mist hot chocolate to chase.


After dinner the discussion has been entirely about getting jobs. If this were a Japanese anime, the folks in Vassar's CDO would be sneezing up a storm right now. Just sayin'.

We've been discussing the number of jobs we've already gotten rejected from. Now I just overheard something about adding "21 years of breathing experience" on a resume. Things are looking bleak for us liberal arts majors.

P.S. the title of this blog post is a pun on "Die Hard with a Vengeance." Get it???
