bad free things and good free things

in the past two hours, i:

1) acquired a free, lovely old wooden dresser from a craig's list post, only to have my dear friend ben examine it closer and discover reminents of bedbugs. not wanting to take a chance on that shit in my new apartment, we had to leave it curb-side after adventuring in a giant blue truck and carrying it down a flight of stairs.

2) stopped off at the pile of garbage bags in front of my neighborhood bougie-food-mart, to open one and discover TONS of beautiful green beans! after reaping a large cardboard-box-full, i opened another bag to discover perfectly good looking strawberries (still in their driscoll's plastic cartons) and yet another to find that morning's fresh baguettes. i now have days and days worth of off-season produce and delicious bread to feast on!
