Htet-Htet (my asian neighbor) still doesn't have a working oven. So, today I was sitting on my sofa about 11:30 (again). Watching cartoons (again). Knock, knock.
There she is, chesscake-to-be in hand. This time she's making a lunch for some of her new classmates in HCI. (Anyone else thinking they shoulda gone to grad school?) I was invited again, and met her classmates. Cool people, I think. If I ever manage to work my way into a conversation, I'll let you know for sure.
So now I'm thinking: In the last eight days she's visited twice, and I've gotten a home-cooked dessert twice. I wonder if I could bribe the maintenance guy to just not fix the oven...
Of course, with the way this landlord's turning out to be, I may not even have to bribe the guy.
