Oh where, oh where has my handle gone...

Shit. I accidentally broke the handle off of my teapot's lid. Almost worse than that, though, is that I can't find it (the handle). I eventually got up the courage to fish around in the food disposal (which was far less threatening than I thought it would be), but I'm 99% certain it's not in there. It didn't seem like it shattered, but I suppose that's possible. Anyways, I'm kind of worried that it's actually whole in the food disposal (yay, paranoia), and something will go horribly wrong when it's next turned on. Anyways, if I find it, I guess I'll try to find some food-safe super glue. Otherwise, the lid of the pot is useless, and I'll either have to buy a new pot or just go without the lid. I don't think I really need the lid, especially since I have the tea cozy, which would do a far better job of keeping in heat anyway.

• 23:28 Is it weird that I think I'm going to like a drama whose main premise seems to be "my family follows opposite gender roles"? #
• 23:39 Well, I'm only 14 minutes into the first episode, but it has those sort of realistic interactions, esp. within the family, that I love. #

• 01:06 I really need to make more of a practice of putting on concealer every time I go out. And not picking my skin in the first place. #
• 01:22 Daaaamn, Kobayashi Satomi's English pronunciation is EXCELLENT. Didn't sound native, but definitely fluent. Or she had a great coach. #
