Look at my new little pal! We need to come up with a good name for him, although I keep calling him Schmoopy. I'm not sure it befits him, since that's also what we call my folks' cat. Anyway, the Mr. was a big imp and went and ordered him when I wasn't looking. It's refurbished so it's not like he went COMPLETELY insane or anything. But I'm glad it got here in time as I'm heading to MN in about a week and a half to get acquainted with the new place, and this way I can bring back some video reconnaissance.
We had our first wave of movers come through today for estimates and they all tell us the same thing, that this is like a record amount of crap stuffed into a 2BR apartment. Dudes, duh. It was a surprisingly draining process. After they were done we headed out to get miniDV tapes, a FireWire cable for the new camera, a new battery pack for the kitchen cordless phone (which decided to die at a really inopportune time), plus lunch -- sammiches from Togo's and Slurpees, which we enjoyed during "Passions" of course. I also forgot to mention that the Mr. left his card in the ATM, which sort of took a little energy out of us. Then I just crashed at about 4 p.m. and didn't wake up for another seven hours.
I look around at all the stuff and I just want to fall over. Remind me not to unpack anything once we get there, because we're just going to move it again when we find a house ... eventually. The good news is that when I come back from my factfinding mission in a couple weeks, it'll all be packed up like magic! Right? Right? Hahahahaha ehhhh.
Did you watch the all-"Oz" cast episode of "The Jury"? We have it on tape. I'll have to talk about that show later because right now I need to focusssssss.

Posted by: Kim at June 30, 2004 02:37 AMThis reminds me... I have a cordless phone that is extra. Did you guys want that? It's got a brand new battery in it... it's only 900 MHz but other than that it's fine.
I have to send you a box of crap anyway... so I can just toss it in with that.
Let me know :)

Also, I think that I need to start watching "The Jury" all the time now, if it always has where it tells you the real story at the end all flashback like.
