Potty Blog
The laptop is sitting on top of the dryer I just installed, which is sitting next to the washer I just installed. I'm running an empty cycle of the washing machine now to make sure I didn't screw up - so far so good. It's a potty blog because these appliances are conveniently located in the downstairs bathroom of our lovely house. Nothing like doing a load of towels while you're dropping a deuce...
Lots of progress on the house to report since Wednesday night:
- Blogger is finally painted after 3 coats of orange
- Most of the boxes are broken down and cluttering the back yard
- Now that we have a TV, Comcast returned with a fancy cable box
- I re-arranged the kitchen cupboards twice, then gave Susan a "tour" of the kitchen
- Dropped another $100 at Home Depot
- Went and saw Anchorman at the fancy new Stockton City Centre Cinemas
I suppose the last one doesn't qualify as progress on the house, but we needed a break. If you haven't seen it, the movie is pretty much so dumb that it's hilarious. It does rely a bit too heavily on Will Ferrell forcefully trying to make the audience laugh, but I can think of worse ways to pass the time.
Greg abandoned me on Friday afternoon, so hopefully I actually understood all the stuff he threw at me over the past week. Now I know how Rich and Sarah feel back in Minneapolis, since I brain dumped on them before leaving for Lodi.
Speaking of which, I meant to share Caliblog with everyone a while back. It's written by a group of kids from Michigan who up and moved to southern California earlier this year. I've read from the beginning up until they all arrived in North Hollywood, mostly because I stumbled across it shortly before Jason and I made a journey of our own. I just want to make sure everyone has someblog to read, even on days when I don't find time to post.
One other thing I've been meaning to mention for awhile now is craigslist. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that a guy named Craig started it in San Fransicso a while back, and it has grown into quite a formidable little subculture. Laura told me about it years ago, and it has become an ever-increasing part of my consciousness recently. I used it a couple months ago to snatch up a free ladder and metal shelving unit, both of which were far from "like new" condition, but have come in handy in the new house. On Friday, I listed my window air conditioner on the site - and it sold within 30 minutes. For you Wisconsinites, Milwaukee just got their own craigslist, so get down on it.
Said washer appears to be working, so I'm going to do some laundry and catch some Z's...
