I associate April with about three things: exam madness, personal neglect, and cleaning rampages. Because my landlady rules with an iron fist, I have to clean the house from top to bottom at the end of every school year for her inspection.

The best things in life are free.
Seriously.
After only very idle searches, in the past two weeks I’ve acquired two amazing things from various garbages in the city:

Oh, I thought the internet ate this, but apparently it came back:
(1) One of my favourite blogs (not that I have many) is otherjoseph, which is written by a photography student in the Philippines. He has this way of making everything look spectacular and fresh and joyful and amazing and adjective adjective adjective. [...]

Aside from papers, class, and food, life has been woefully uninteresting lately. And so, I present you with the vegetarian chili recipe I used yesterday for tomorrow’s Philosophy and Feminism potluck. I had some for lunch today and can vouch empirically for its overall goodness.
