second post; trashcan and cheque

Heres a couple interesting pictures from around my apartment:

1)

I didn't buy this trash can that currently lives in our bathroom. I don't know who did. What I do know is that I feel bad for it. While a normal trashcan just gets simple things like pizza boxes and oreo wrappers thrown into it, this one is way more of a gross zone; everything from dental floss to old toothbrushes goes here. Maybe even more horrid things. The reason that I highlight this piece is that there is an '@' pressed on the side of it for some reason. I like it. It kinda makes me feel that my bathroom trash recepticle has an email address... something like... 'bathroom.garbage@trash.com'

2)We got this in the mail, and originally I thought that we had done something wrong. To my surprise, our landlords owed us money. Even to this day, we are unsure why. There are so many layers of awesomeness involved with this.. It could be the fact that the cheque is for sixty cents.. which is roughly 20 cents more than the stamp that it took to send it to us.. but the best part is that, as the one who delivers the rent check, ive never had the oppertunity to have to distribute sixty cents between three people. The cheque will stay on the fridge - the story behind it is worth way more than the money that we will get cashing it in.

Ha! My sister used to have a checking account @ home, in IA. When she went to college, she tried to close it. But her balance was around $1.50, and the fee to close the acct. was at least double that. She's older than me. Her acct. may still be there!

my guess is it was for the interest earned on your original deposit? but.. yeah.. maybe not - that would really be a very small amount of interest.

also, i forgot you had this blog! you should blog more!
