it's been a long time...
well, not really... only about a week. but still.
internet/cable got hooked up this morning... im quite pleased... i've got more channels than i know what to do with for a while (movie channels!) and no more trucking to the school just to use the net... the Sasktel guy who set it up also managed to fix my TV (which has been blurry forever... or at least since 1999) by simply fiddling with some switch on the back that i'd never seen before and isn't in the manual... apparently very few TVs have them, but this "focus knob" now allows me to watch TV/play games with good resolution, as opposed to the blurtastic stuff i'm used to.
anyways... on to other matters
all moved in to my new pad, have been since last tuesday when clay helped me move everything... the big stuff was a pain in the ass... next time im just selling my bed/cpu desk/couch. still need someone to swing by and help my put the door back on properly... tis not a one person job. The place is nice... much nicer than I thought when I first saw it mid-may. Good amounts of fresh air and at least some level of natural light... lots of space for just me... nice big backyard i can use whenever i want... im digging it... still trying to figure out where to put everything... i need to get a couple of nice long aux cables, so i can keep my stereo where i want it and still have it hooked up to my CPU and TV...
RIP my Panasonic Shockwave Discman :( After 4 years of loyal service it was knocked out of commission (possibly for good) at Superstore on Sunday. I went to move something of mine so another customer could grab an item totally unaware that my headphones cord was tangled in said bag... discman flew across Superstore lobby... i'm pretty sure the majority of it is okay, but the spring-loaded mechanism in the middle that holds the cd in place is broken.. so i'll have to see what that'll cost to fix... may end up getting a new discman (mp3 style) instead, depending on the cost...
have to take my Visa application back to my bank tomorrow... been needing a new CC since i let my Royal Bank Visa expire... thank goodness for Student Visas....
gonna need it since i forgot to buy one of my textbooks for this coming term...
washing dishes by hand is time consuming... i forgot how long it takes... of course, i'm also switching between doing dishes and writing this...
Trying to help Clay a bit with ideas for Steph's birthday (tomorrow).. he has stuff planned but only if the weather holds, and this being saskatchewan, that's unlikely... so we're trying to find some non-outdoor stuff.
Also... I ten pin bowled for the first time ever on the weekend... what can I saw, I grew up in a five pin town. It was cool even though me, chris and scottie lost to girls :o (hey, there was 4 of them)
chris even gave me an excuse to clean all the cards out of my wallet by hurling it at scottie, thus scattering them to the four winds...
off to go help Clay shop for a b-day gift for aformentioned young lady...
