Wal-Mart revelations
Feb. 6th, 2007 11:21 am:O They make clear duct tape now! It is both A) awesome, and B) what's holding my computer desk together. ^^U Also, the My Little Pony "Ponyville" sets? Fugliest things ever.
In bad news, they pushed back the release of The Cinematics' album to next month, but in good news, they switched the New Haven show to a Boston show! They added a Providence show too, but I can't go to that since it's on a weeknight. ;-; But the new schedule will make it a lot easier to go to the Montreal show, if I decide to do that. ^^
I got a free sofa yesterday, which is yay, but it will clash horribly with that beautiful butterfly cabinet I saw at Target the other day. (It looks like it came straight out of Loveless, and I want it~) Also, someone at work *may* be giving me a TV, but that's not for sure yet.
And I have a crapload of stuff to do before Friday, so I had better get going.

a bit of good news
Jan. 4th, 2007 02:23 pmI talked to the apartment manager today, and she said that lesboy is still required to pay February's rent, so that gives me a little bit more time to figure out what I'm going to do. Also, the jerkwads next door are supposedly definitely moving at the end of March. So I guess my first course will be to try and find a new roommate for this apartment. I'm scared of getting a roomie from hell (as much as I bitch about lesboy, things could be a lot worse), but the manager said I'd retain my tenant-at-will status, so if I do, I can just leave (which I may be doing in a few months anyway). I'll also look at some 1BRs at other places in town, but right now, I think the extra money is more important than the extra freedom. :x Not to mention it'd be a whole lot less work.
Thank you to everyone who sent their condolences about my grandmother. It was unexpected, but she was not suffering or in any pain, and I suppose that is the best we all can wish for. The funeral is next weekend in Dallas.
Lesboy's moving out at the end of the month. I don't know yet what I'm going to do. The cheapest/most convenient thing would be to get another roommate, but no one in their right mind would move in with the amount of noise coming from the people next door. I think there are some 1BRs available in the complex, but we're talking $200-300 extra a month. >< I could look for someplace cheaper, but I don't want to make a big move now when I may be moving again in a few months anyway. If I could just know NOW about Japan and school, it would be so much easier.
At any rate, even if I stay in this apartment, I'll be switching to the bigger bedroom, so I've got a whole freaking lot of packing and cleaning to do no matter what. I spent this morning stuffing my big suitcase full of clothes that I know I won't need for a while, and it's made no discernible difference in the amount of crap in my closet.
So, in short, I'm going to be around a lot less over the next month, and probably won't be checking up on ye olde friendes liste too often.
Also, insert me swearing up and down at having no more Supernatural to watch for over a week, especially after a cliffhanger like that.
