Desk

I have come to a realization: I am a person who needs a desk. I had a desk in my apartment up in Logan. I was always at my desk. My computer sat on it, I ate all my meals at it, and I used my chair to watch TV or play video games. And I really preferred it. I definitely like using a mouse more than the track pad on the laptop. That's the whole reason I purchased a wireless USB mouse in the first place. It's really hard to use a mouse on the couch. I also enjoy having drawers to keep folders and papers in and more importantly pens and pencils. The drawers is why using a table with my laptop just doesn't seem to cut it. It's not going to be much of a worry in a few weeks, but when I've finished college and am ready to find a place to live I will need to definitely need to have some sort of office with a desk that I can use. I won't be able to do much if I don't.

Lunchables

I bought a Lunchable for lunch today just for kicks and giggles. Good old pizza kind.... or so I thought. Turns out that sometime in the last few years when I stopped having these regularly they decided not to include the little plastic spreader for the sauce. Maybe it's just me, but it is a pain to try and make these little pizzas without a tool with which to spread the sauce. The best I could do was use the packet itself to spread what I had already squeezed onto the crust. This was crude work and it made the packet a mess so I had to be careful of where I put it down. It's disappointing because for me the spreader is essential. It was probably discontinued because of some "it's a waste of plastic. Let's look like we care about the environment!" angle that they decided to take. There are better ways to save resources than making the product just a little bit more frustrating.

In other news, those pizzas are still really good. That's very surprising considering how poor quality you would expect it to be. I vaguely remember still when they first made the pizza ones. When I was really young, we always had the cracker, meat, and cheese Lunchables. Then the pizza came and it was heavenly. Screw those stupid crackers, I can have 3 little pizzas! And I can eat them raw! Well, other than the crust at least. I always loved them and pretty much still do.
