| mona
today i went to coffee bean in sf. i ordered two drinks, gave my name as"darren" and patiently waited. about 3 minutes later, i hear the barista call "mona". of course i ignore it thinking it wasn't my order. she calls out "mona" again along with the drink order. recognizing the drink order, i went up to see if there had been a mix up with the names. there was no mistake. apparently my name is "mona". awesome.
what is the worst misinterpretation of your name at starbucks, coffee bean, pete's coffee, etc.

| big red button
so i finally have hot water in my apt. that was the last thing i needed to set up. the landlord had to come to light the pilot today after mo and i failed to do so on saturday night. i asked him to help because earlier in the day when i was going to do it myself, i noticed there was a big red button on the water heater. now when i think of a big red button, i think of a button that will set off a bomb, launch a missile, stop a nuclear meltdown, etc (maybe this has something to do with the fact that i have watched the kingdom twice in the past week). so the combination of a big red button and gas freaked me out a little bit, haha. anyways, when i asked mo to help me out, i said something like, "if worse comes to worse, we'll accidentally blow-up the apt BUT then we'll be able to worship God 24/7 in heaven so no worries, right?" "right," he says. so we attempted to light it, pushed the big red button a bunch of times, but alas, we couldnt light the pilot which equaled darren still had to take a shower at mo's place downstairs. but no longer will that be case because tonight, i will take a shower in my own apt.

| goodbye couch
after a month of living on mo's couch, i have to say goodbye. it was a good couch, not too soft but not too firm either. i finally moved the 50 ft across the courtyard and up the stairs to my place. i went shopping for apt stuff like a shower curtain, paper towels, pot holders, etc. as i was looking for bath mats for the bathroom, i noticed that places dont sell the accompanying mat for the toilet. i thought that was so weird. none at target, tj max, ross or marshall. what gives?!?! do ppl not like to have a mat around the toilet anymore? i'm still holding out hope that i will be able to find a place that sells both the bath mat and toilet mat (i gotta buy them at the same time to make sure the colors match, hah).
worst traffic moment: 1 hour and 50 minutes to go 20.5 miles. wonderful.

| monopoly
monopoly is my favorite board game. i remember playing it with my parents when i was in elementary school. i also played it a lot with chris and his little sister when we were in middle school. what a great game. it teaches a player how to invest your money (which properties to buy, when to build houses/hotels, etc.) and how to make a deal (when you need to trade properties/money to another player in order to get that last property you need to have a monopoly). over the weekend i wound up playing a lot of monopoly with my 6 and 8 year old 2nd cousins (i think that's what you call my cousin's kids). they definitely got into it and let me tell you it is not easy trying to make a deal with 6 and 8 year olds, haha. anyways, it was fun, brought back old memories, good family time. o yea, they beat me every time we played, greaaat.
