Home Improvement:

Went out and splurged on a watercooler for the apartment. It's very extra, and we're still not sure how to go about getting the 5 gallon jugs, but I'm unreasonably excited about it.

Also got my first artwork, meaning now I have to figure out how to frame things. And figure out where to put it. And figure out how to hang it without violating the lease. Which is worth it, because I get happy just looking at that picture for some reason.

We use a kegerator with 2 5gal kegs of carbonated water on tap... Talk about signs of getting old

Hardcore! Where do you even get kegs of seltzer?

A kegerator setup has a CO2 canister, so a flat liquid is put in, all the hoses are set up, pressure is added, and as it sits the CO2 dissolves in the liquid, carbonating it.

Yeah its super easy I buy the 5lb Co2 canisters from the home brew store add normal tap water to the kegs and put it under 30 PSI for about 5-7 days. The CO2 dissolves in and I get carbonated water. I keep 2 hooked up so I can rotate them when I blow one and thats usually enough time to carbonate the next. The setup is a bit pricey I think it probably cost about $400 to get going and I was originally using it for homebrew but as Ive gotten older I cant really drink without messing up my sleep so ive switched over to just carbonated water.
