quite possibly the worst pasta ever

so apparently, being in oxford doesn't make you smarter just from, you know, being here.

so tonight i decided to be domestic and make my dinner (as in something besides a sammich or cereal).  i tried it the other night, and it was really bland and gross, so my friend who knows how to cook offered to help.  so she sat in the kitchen and monitored my every move.  alas, it just wasn't meant to be.

i had pasta, and in it, i added 3 different kinds of spices, some peppered olive oil, and, when that still wasn't anything good, some cheese.  and STILL, it was pretty much the most bland thing i've ever tasted.  i tried to add more spices, but julia said just adding more and more spices won't help.  (i still managed to sneak some in.)  anyway, yeah, it really wasn't good, and now i feel a little sick to my stomach.  it really was quite awful.

so now i'm going to try to do some reading, but there's a decent chance i won't get very far, because my stomach is really trying to convince me that throwing up sounds much more enjoyable than reading.  i'm SO over not having a personal chef.
