Back to work today

Yesterday was a really good day. We went to the Lighthouse for brunch and got to spend time with Jan, Dakota and Brandon, our nice neighbors. We also wandered around Big Lots for a while, they have so much interesting stuff. For dinner, we made pasta and we rented The Usual Suspects, which was very good.

Jeff and I also looked at an apartment and got to talk to our landlord. Apparently the neanderthal and his girlfriend next door have been behind on the rent, so Todd (that's our landlord) had been thinking about booting them anyway. If that happens we may just move upstairs to the 2 bedroom there. But the one we looked at next to Tasta Pizza was nice too. It had a big living room and dining room, a nice looking little kitchen, two bedrooms and a laundry room. It's $500 per month including all utilties.

Also, although I know Paul doesn't want to start reading Another web comic, I really think he will appreciate yesterday's PvP, as it mentions his lord and master, Joss Whedon. In fact also anyone who appreciates Star Wars humor should check out this particular strip.

Anyway, I think that's all for now. I still need to shower, go pick up my paycheck, deposit it, and return The Usual Suspects.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Looking at Apartments

Today Jeff and I have an appointment to look at an apartment on E Main St. We may have a second appointment to see one on Osborne Place, which is sort of near campus. I also took the Neon in to be inspected.

I don't really have anything interesting to report.

Later...

Rip Van Winkle

Today I start my regular shift at Injun Enterprises, 12:30 to 9 PM. So I slept til 9 today after going to bed at 11. I feel like I've been asleep forever. I had very strange dreams about watching Hagrid fly on a giant broom through a forest towards Hogwarts. So I guess I shouldn't have been too suprised to the the link the the Goblet of Fire teaser trailer on Paul's Blog when I got on the computer this morning.

Yesterday was a really nice day. I went to West Hickory and spent the day with my Mom. She cooked a big dinner for us and for my grandparents and my great-aunt. I helped dust and ran to the store to get different odds and ends for the meal. (applesauce, milk, chicken gravy, etc) And my reward is a nice stuffed chicken breast and broccoli and cauliflower casserole to take as my lunch to work today.

Saturday I went to Bradford's Stinkfest with Jeff's parents. For the non-Bradfordians, Stinkfest is a festival all about a certain local food, the Leek. Leeks are like onions - but not really like ogres. (sorry, also listened to my Shrek 2 soundtrack a lot this weekend) I had pizza with leeks, leek dip, and stuffed mushroom, with leeks. While eating too many leeks can upset your digestion, they are interesting. There was also a good live Country band at the Stinkfest. I enjoyed spending time with Jeff's parents.

Well, I think that's all for now. I'm going to take a bath and read some more of Mirror, Mirror, the Gregory Maguire novel I got last week.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!
