better luck tomorrow

well, it seems that better luck tomorrow is loosely based on a true story…..although justin lin says differently. (see the 03/20/03 entry)

  • i broke the stove

    well, i broke the stove.

    seriously, it was a freak accident. i was cooking a pork chop in a 1/2 inch TFal frying pan, on medium high heat, on an electric stove. the meat was cooking nicely, so i turned around when all of a sudden i heard a piercing BRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE sound. the cat jumped 3 feet in the air and shot out of the kitchen. i turned back around, and there was an extremely bright, white light coming from the middle of the frying pan. and i mean bright. it lit the entire kitchen like a 500watt halogen bulb. it was surreal. then, a tiny, neon white flame shot up from the frying pan, then died. when my brain finally started working again, i turned off the stove, and grabbed the frying pan to discover that it had a HUGE gaping hole in the middle. and i mean huge. i can stick my finger through it. i have no idea why or how this happened. i just know that this shit only happens to me.

    anyways, the stove doesn’t work anymore.
