Oops

Yesterday I almost got us in trouble for the almost 2nd time for making a pizza in our room. TJ has this pizza Pizzazz thing that we just plugged in up here to cook a pizza a couple of days ago to avoid going down 3 floors just to do the same. The glitch with this laziness is the fact that our lease states that we are not allowed to cook anything in our room. So we're cooking this pizza in our room and the landlord comes in with his maintenance guy to fix the lightbulb in our closet. Fortunately for us, our landlord is about 120 years old and probably has never seen a Pizzazz before, so he didn't say a thing when he saw it. At least we think he saw it and didn't know. Yesterday, we had the a/c running, the fan, computer, tv, and light on, and then plugged in the Pizzazz. Insert blackout here. The entire 3rd floor went dark, the light switch for the staircase didn't even work. Oops... We quickly unplugged the culprit and hurried it downstairs, claiming we "got hungry and decided to cook a pizza while our power was out" to the landlord we ran into on the way down. He said in the entire time he's had people stay in the house, this has never ever happened. Oh great. We put on our innocent faces and gave him the "oh my, I have no idea how this happened" bit. Fortunately for us, it was pouring buckets outside and lightning like it was a Kiss concert outside, so we all figured it must've been a power surge from the lighting. He replaced the blown fuse with one twice as powerful and we learned our lesson for now...

Today TJ and I went downtown to look around at some places and potentially find me a job. We stopped by Restoration Hardware and I got myself an interview for next week (woo hoo!), and meandered around a bit. We found our way to the mall in the area which included such stores as Louis Vuitton, Coach, Armani, etc., as if we weren't feeling poor enough already. We made our way to a wedding dress store where I picked up another app, and decided to head home. We figured if we walked past Fenway to where the subway comes above ground, we could spare ourselves the $2.50 it would otherwise cost us for the return trip. Unfortunately for us, the Red Sox game was getting out at that very moment. We were doing pretty good, found our way to Comm Ave, and then the tsunami of people opened up. It was like being caught up in the opening scene of Fever Pitch, there were people everywhere in Sox gear. Eventually we swam through and made our way home, but we'll definitely check the ball game schedule next time we head near that neigborhood...
