two by two

we've recently moved back into my apartment upon the fulfillment of two very important requirements:

• the fixing of my aircon and
• the beating of resistance in hard mode.

unfortunately, my apartment is out of gas (i buy it in cannisters b/c i'm retro like that), which means two things:

• no hot water and
• no, well, gas.

no hot water is not a big deal for two reasons:

• hk is so hot that cold water comes out lukewarm and
• we never shower anyways

but no gas means jon is rendered useless in his role as cook-y. luckily for us, i am (cue theme music) microwave chef extraordinaire! tada! dundundundundundun! (that was a fanfare in case you missed it) yesterday, i made pasta with marinara sauce AND broccoli casserole (a can of cream of asparagus soup dumped on a bunch of broccoli). it counts as cooking b/c i had to add my own spicy mustard. i'm very concerned about counting.
