a few disjointed thoughts
i finally unpacked most of my books. i say most because i still have half a dozen boxes of books i can't fit on the shelves of my bookcase. amy's bookcase is overflowing and hers is twice as big as mine! and we found another big box of her books she left with me, so now there are two bookcases that look like they're going to collapse under all the books. i should take pictures.
i still have to go through my boxes of cds. all 800 of them or so. i think it's time for a purge. especially now that i have r2-d2 pod (that's what i named my ipod [g]).
my monitor fell off my desk tonight. literally. it was rather loud...it made amy jump in the living room. i think i pulled on a cord when i was getting up which caused the monitor to crash. the base of the monitor has been cracked for some time now...i guess i should get around to replacing it. the monitor seems to be ok except for a scuff on the side and a little looseness to the outside panel which i snapped back in. nice mac, good mac. i keep thinking it's flickering from time to time, but i think it's because i'm paranoid.
the last couple of days i've encountered more than my fair share of strange customers at work. which normally happens during the full moon, but that was last week. three examples:
1) the middle age guy who's been in here several times this week. he likes to listen to the same listening stations and dance around and sing. he says hello to be now because i helped fix one of them the other day. he creeps me out, and that takes quite a bit these days.
2) the woman not much older than me that i ordered a book for last night. i was polite, and made the obligatory small talk while helping her. and i guess she decided i was her new best friend, because i found out way more about her personal life than i wanted. and then every time i passed by her she'd want to chat again. i wasn't really annoyed with her...felt a little sorry for her i guess.
3) there was an older lady i asked if she needed help this morning. she said she was "just looking." fine with me. but then every time i walked within ten feet of her she made a point of saying "just looking" again. jesus lady, this isn't the gap. if you don't want help, i'm going to leave you the fuck alone unless you're stealing or doing something obnoxious.
there were several other head scratchers too, but those three came to mind.
i went to the dentist this week and i had no cavities. my dentist complains he can't make money off of me. i really like my dentist. i don't know what i'll do when he retires, because he's been my dentist since i was three.
tomorrow i plan on watching the bears game. yes, i watch football. believe me, i get enough shit from amy so don't start. and then if the weather isn't crappy amy and i want to go to a craft fair. and of course there's the shit ton of laundry and various other household chores.
zzzzzzz.
