Weekend Nonsense

Things are going as well as they can be. There are still a few eggshell moments, but it's getting better. The point is we're going to be ok. ^_^

On Friday night Barry bought a new HDTV. I talked him down from the 37" he wanted to a 32", which is still bigger than what we had and it was about $200 cheaper. Man, those things are SO EASY to install. Shoot, I could move that thing on my own! Anyway, the tv reception blows but the 360 looks AWESOME. We were sitting there going through all of our favorite games to watch the opening scenes. Beautiful Katamari has become my crack again. We're thinking about getting DirectTV for several reasons. 1) It's HD. Boo yeah! 2) After looking at packages we'd be paying $8 more than what we are now for about 150% more channels. Seriously.

Now:
61 channels, no HD, $47 a month
Soon:
200+ channels, 15+ in HD, $54.97 with tax. However, this will go up $18 after a year. Still, I'd pay it. ^_^

Since we only have one HDTV I'm just going to get a regular box for the tv upstairs. We probably won't be replacing that for a loooong time since it's only about 2 years old. No point in spending $100 on a tv that can't even use all the features of the box. Although, it would be worth getting the DVR on it...Hmm...

Easter was nice, except for when I had to spend Sunday night cleaning out the fridge. Someone didn't put the lid on the black olives, so olive juice got everywhere when I accidentally knocked it. Turns out this was a good thing because I found a creamy white 'substance' coating the bottom of the fridge. I don't know what it was, nor do I want to know. At least it didn't smell. So I took care of the spills, and went through the door to get rid of all the condiments that have been sitting there forever. Wow, we have so much room in the fridge now! *rolls eyes* I felt so dirty afterward that I took a hot shower. Yuck.

We're starting to prep the apt for the influx of stuff from the storage unit. I put our dining room table up on craigslist. I'm only asking $20. Honestly if someone said 'Hey, I need a table' I'd give it to them for free if they could pick it up. I just want to gone since I have a much better one waiting in storage. I'd like to start bringing over boxes next weekend. Nothing major, just enough so that it doesn't feel like a massive chore when it comes time to totally empty it.

And finally, More kitty pics )

Blargh

Today is turning into teh suck. I didn't sleep well last night, I have a headache brewing that isn't responding to anything, and that stupid printer in the corner isn't printing for me. I can hear you printing for other people you piece of crap!! I'm the one who can replace you! FEAR ME!!

*sigh* I used to be able to make all the electronics in the office shake in fright when I'd pass by. Now they kind of giggle at me when I get mad. Where did the respect and horror go?

*double sigh* And why do people ask me questions, only to walk away rudely when I'm trying to answer them? Don't they realize that when they do that I'm going to hate them and not want to help them next time? Then they'll get mad at me, while I give them dirty looks and talk about tehm behind your back. See? No one wins. So just stop being an ass and keep your feet planted for the two seconds it will take me to do what YOU wanted me to?

I want chocolate and a new video game to play.
