divine angst

A: Very.

One year ago today, I married Mr. Angst. In celebration, we had a special meal, created by yours truly: wine and chili oil marinated salmon, egg noodles with a beurre blanc sauce, asparagus, and spinach salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

Then, we did the least (or close to least) practical thing two future graduate students should do: we went to Best Buy and bought an HDTV. OK, to be fair, we’ve been saving for this purchase and it was on sale (pre-Super Bowl and all) so it wasn’t too impractical. And it’s pretty damn exciting—we’re getting a new TV! It has to be delivered from another store so we can’t get it till we return from Chicago.

And after our buying spree, we came home and popped open the bottle of Veuve Cliquot that didn’t get consumed on New Year’s Eve, brought out the year-old top tier of our wedding cake (it’s been in the freezer for the past year, very traditional), and are now watching a taped rerun of the series premiere of NUM3ERS. (I think that’s the alpha-numeric combination they use.) It’s not as good as I hoped. Ah well.

By the way, my new boots are snug on my feet and I. Love. Them.
