Randomness
Currently Playing: Taking Back Sunday - New American Classic
Since I have quite a few random things to write about, I've decided to dedicate a whole entry to randomness:
1. The "If the door is closed and the lights are on do NOT come in" rule has been implemented for the bathroom at my new apartment, being that it does not have a lock.
2. While number one (1) technically isn't actually something that is wrong with the apartment, the fact that the lock on the door to my room does not work is. You can prevent someone from pushing the handle down when you lock it, but it does nothing if that said someone pulls the handle up. Also, it seems that either the garbage disposal does not work, or that I just can't find the right switch for it.
3. Our "new" microwave is so dinky and old that it still has one of those knobs you have to turn to the correct time in order to work. It can barely fit a medium sized plate inside and takes two to three times as long to heat anything as it should normally take.
4. You have to flush at least twice to get anything, even toilet paper, to go down the toilet.
5. $10 "Not" lamps from Ikea are cool.
6. We finally got around to cleaning up the apartment and unpacking everything. We have so much more space now! The whole designated dining area is empty. We don't have anything to put there yet, but we were thinking about buying a regular table from Ikea and a poker table cover thing. But then we would need chips and stuff, because the coins that we use now probably wouldn't be good for the felt...
7. I want to try out that new self-drying car wash thing. If it works, it's genius.
8. That one guy on Jeopardy now, that Ken guy, is sick. He needs to be punched in the face...repeatedly...by me. He's something like a 28 day champion and has won a total of $920,960. He's also tied the one day record of $52,000. He's gotten so bored on the show now that he writes is name in block calligraphy and in Final Jeopardy, when the answer was Lois Lane, he drew the Superman symbol next to his answer! Makes me sick...
9. If you haven't noticed, all of my "Currently Playing" songs lately have been Taking Back Sunday songs. I downloaded their new album, "Where You Want to Be", a couple weeks ago and have been listening to it ever since. It is quite good and I would encourage everyone to buy it come July 27th.
YAY!
10. The Student Business Services office is slow...I went to them to get my refund for second session, since I had already paid for a class and then dropped it, but they said they'd put in the request today, and I would get my check in a couple of weeks! Jeez. I dropped the class almost 2 weeks ago too...
11. My dad somehow got me one of those fluorescent Miller Lite signs that you see in bars and stuff. It is now hanging over my window. It's very cool, though a little loud when on.
12. I want to play the Prince of Tennis video game for the PS2. Supposedly it's like Virtua Tennis except with all the Prince of Tennis characters (of course) and they all have special moves! Too bad it's only found in Japan and sells for $40 on eBay. Maybe I'll buy it after I start my job...
13. Which reminds me, I start working Wednesday, July 28th at 1:00 pm. I need to remember to bring my social security card with me and two other forms of identification or else they'll send me home.
Thirteen is a good number, let's end on that.
