Yesterday reminded me why I love college campuses during winter break.
I spent most of the day reading in The Cube. The Cube is a square-shaped reading area attached to the student union.
The Cube is at the mouth of the Washington Avenue bridge and wedged between Washington Avenue and an off ramp. Here’s an image from wikipedia:
This seems like a horrible spot for a glass reading area, but the view is amazing.
Downtown Minneapolis is visible, and cars whizzing by are not as distracting as I expected.
During the semester The Cube is as quiet as Circuit City on Black Friday…but yesterday it was just professors and international students. I loved it.
On the way home I stopped at the House of Ho, the overpriced neighborhood grocery store. There was a sale on frozen Pizzas.
I baked a pizza for the first time a few weeks ago. Let’s just say it involved some smoke and dodging Jamie’s glares. I decided to try again and…
Great success!
I’ll probably go back to The Cube today if I can peel myself away from this marathon of The First 48. I recognize most of the places in the Miami episodes. They occasionally have a body from the neighborhood…
It’s hard watching this show sometimes. Suspects keep telling the police, “I took part in the robbery but I didn’t shoot him!” not realizing that this is enough to get convicted.
I almost wanted to cheer when a suspect finally told the cops “screw you I want a lawyer!” But then I realized, wait, he’s probably guilty. Hm.
Anyhoot, one more episode (there’s a serial killer in this one!) and I’m cutting myself off.

and, with frozen pizza, it helps if you put cornstarch down on the baking sheet prior. no smoke and the crust doesn’t stick.
