hating tuesdays

[rivendellrose]

I really need to get better at this whole 'packing for the whole day because I can't come home til 10:30' thing. Like... making a lunch the night before. And not forgetting my tea-cup. And making absolutely sure I have my scarf, hat, and gloves (I do, I just had a moment of fear when I thought I didn't).

On the plus side, I hung out with people in the ADP room today, visited with ratzeo, Dora, and coramegan, and watched a hilarious British car show called Top Gear. I looooove that show. Which is really weird, since I can't stand lots of talk about cars, normally.

We had food in my seminar today. Bread, brie, some other kind of cheese I didn't recognize, and not!wine (also known as WINE). Why not!wine? Because it's a class, of course. So no... that wasn't wine. It was fake!wine. Or something. After two cups, I was drowsing off, turning pink when I talked, and talking a heck of a lot more than I usually do. But hey, we all were. And one of the guys dressed as Gertrude Stein and read some of her poems. That was awesome.

I love my seminar prof. That woman is truly fabulous. And so's the class, although I'll probably be cursing it later this weekend when I'm trying to write my take-home essays. Ah well. We're required to take no more than four hours on them, so I can live with it. XD

Oh, and we have to have a plumber out to the house, because the basement plumbing is evil. *Growls*

so what did you find out about the plumbing?
I'm assuming that the landlord will pay for that, from what Kari's Dad said, you girls are pretty safe from any situation like that.
(so unlike the last house you rented)
Hopefully it will be taken care of quickly and easily.
Glad you got to spend time with Ratzeo and Coramegan!
Give Sir Theoden a smooch for me!

I will!

Apparently a plumber will be by tomorrow at about 12:30. At least that was the last word I heard on it. Hopefully it's something easily fixed, and yeah, I'm pretty sure Mr Nugent will be handling everything with this. It's one of those "clearly, this is not our fault" kind of things.

Plumber's coming by at 12:30, Nugent is handling it, and Kari and I speculate that this house was lived in by primitive ape-men prior to our moving in.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it certainly seems that way. Ah well, we shall soon make it totally liveable again. ;)

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

yeah, especially noting the excitment in the cute neighbors voice when she met you all, and said yay!! girls!!!!
her voice certainly intoned no more primitive ape-men!

Considering today we got a very porn-ish lingerie and sexual aids catalogue delivered for one of the previous occupants... yeah. They were most definitely ape-men.

E-mail me (ursula at math) with phone/ contact info so we can discuss handing over keys, meeting cats, etc.?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yes! Sorry, with everything that's been going on, I spazzed on that til after I wrote this entry.

I caught the very end of that show the other day. It looks fun. I need to watch more TV. I didn't know it was British though.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

That's what I was told it was, at least. It looked really fun. I normally don't watch TV, but I might make an exception for something that cute.

[otterknit.livejournal.com]

I've no doubt that it is a british show, I just didn't realize that at the time and nobody told me. I don't normally watch TV either, I gave it up a few years ago, but it's left me quite out of the loop on a lot of things. As long as you restrict yourself to a few shows a week, I now think it's okay.
