my roommate was still at home when i woke up at 10:00. while i was in the living room, i heard her stirring, using the bathroom then making some instant noodles for breakfast. i told her where i was going then left the house. temperature was at 40°F, just cold enough to warm up on the bike. i wore gloves and a fleece-lined hat underneath my helmet. i had some rice and oatmeal for lunch when i arrived.

didn't have much else to do today other than skyrim. everyone was doing there own thing: my mother was knitting, my sister was looking at dog photos, and i was gaming.

my sister wanted to make fried chicken for dinner after watching a few cooking shows on the subject. now i love fried chicken, but it's not the easiest thing to make, and can leave a house smelling of oil for weeks to come. knowing how my sister cooks and how she never cleans up after her house, both my mother and i vetoed her fried chicken choice. instead, we had pasta for dinner with a bowl of chili. i think the chili was supposed to go with a football game but everyone in my family miscalculated and thought the superbowl was this sunday.

the house was dark when i got back, other than the light in the bathroom. the door was closed so i thought she was inside, but after 20 minutes i knocked and realized there was nobody in there. she came home an hour later, her former student took her to chinatown and they had dinner at a seafood restaurant.
