Tonight's documentary..

Easy Rider. Good as a documentary, lot of interesting trivia about the filming, not that great as entertainment, shocker at the end. The "making of" video is worth a look, too. Possibly as revealing as the film itself. Yup.

I have to say..

N@, those are some of the best survey responses EVAR! =)

Note to credit solicitors

a) Don't mispronounce my name, I'm likely to say I'm out and take a message for myself.
b) Don't announce that you're with a credit company in your first sentence, though I'll probably guess anyway.
c) Don't expect me to call back when you leave a message with phone number.

Things learned today:

1) If you share a bed with someone, be careful how active you are in your dreams. Heh.
2) Katia does like salmon.
3) The NY DMV does allow you to register a vehicle in NY even if your permanent residence is in another state, though you have to have N.Y.S. insurance.
4) OHM Electronics still has the best battery prices in town, at $0.79 for 2xAAA and $1.50 for 2xAA.
5) I should remember to bring my Hallmark Gold Crown card when I shop at Hallmark.
6) Bath & Body Works has discontinued their Lavender products! This makes shopping for stuff for my mother much more difficult.

That's it so far. :)

Moving day!

Not mine. Helped Nicole (a friend, and fiancée of a recent alum of the house) move herself and housemates from a townhouse in East Hill to a house in Forest Home (5min east of campus to 5min northeast of campus) in exchange for promises of pizza.. we did eventually get pizza (and jalapeño chips, honeymustard&onion Snyders pretzel bits, and beer from the neighbor.) The neighbor was cool--just got out of four years in the Air Force, three years in Italy and one in Florida, and is now a Network Tech for CIT.

The house was funky--it had obviously undergone a series of renovations and modifications, and as it was an old house, this had some very strange results, beyond oddly sloped floors and low doorways upstairs:

The floors upstairs differ in level from room to room by over an inch.

One room upstairs has a board door with an iron latch, with a slightly sloped top edge to fit the door frame.

• That room's closet has a hidden panel at the back that leads to more closet.
  
• That room also barely has room for a twin bed and any other furniture.
  
• The desk in the main room is sitting on cinderblocks.

There's a "bedroom" off the main room which has a poorly lofted mattress and is approximately 1.5x the area of the mattress. It may have formerly been a laundry room, which the house doesn't have.

In the back of the closet of the living room, there's an exterior door. It has insulation behind it. Beyond that is vinyl siding. In other words, the front door was sealed off, and the only door in now is on the front porch through the kitchen.

Funky. Nice place overall, though. And a good time, even though it was over five hours total and it took till 10pm or so to get pizza. :P
