a movie theater to try out

Mounds Theater
so we're going to check it out one of these weekends.

but this weekend we'll be in minot.
and next weekend in grand forks.
so after that sometime.

we're having some nice storms today. the sirens actually went off whilst i was finishing up my therapy appt. today -- how soothing.
and we saw "land of the dead" and it was pretty righteous. and "bewitched" was funny as well -- it made abbey giggle a lot. and that's just fun.
and yes, i'm watching "newlyweds" again. i know, i know. you don't even have to say it.

and it's one hellacious work week, getting ready for deadlines that are moved up. but having monday -- wait, TWO mondays in a row off -- will be worth all the crap that this week will entail.

funny story, courtesy of meaghan.
my sister and her boyfriend moved in together. and they purchased a countertop dishwasher. this dishwasher has a little window on the front of the door that's tinted dark, but if you look really hard, you can see the magic happening on the inside. well meg said she woke up one night around 4 a.m. and came out to the kitchen to see her boy holding a flashlight up to this little window, just watching the magic happen. that's good stuff.

i've not blogged for many moon.

i wish i could be a jogger. but everyone i see jogging look totally f**king miserable. there is no one with a glad look on the face whilst jogging. jeez-- i've not even seen a glimmer of contentment on a jogger's face. usually just a grimmace denoting some sort of misery. so why do i want to be a jogger? it seems like it would be both masochistic AND good for me at the same time.

our central air is kicking arse. and there is a story as to why it is functioning again.
as new(er) homeowners, there are things we don't know about. like filters that are in our gas furnace. and if they haven't been changed -- since we've moved in -- well, not only will our heater not function properly, but the central air WILL NOT WORK AT ALL.
thanks to my sister amy, it's all okay now, and it's so chilly in my house now that i may require the services of a sweater.

i guess we'll list that under "things we wish we knew hundreds of dollars ago."
maybe that's a new category altogether. okay, that's the first (and hopefully only) entry under that category.

nick and jessica are at a ski resort. and although skiing could only do me harm, their little hut (or townhouse, really) looks nice and comfy and, well, vacation-esque. abbey asked me when my summer vacation starts. i told her that my summer vacation is every saturday and sunday.

gee, having just returned from "vacation" yesterday, you would think i was well-rested. not the case at all. must sleep. maybe i'll write entertaining blog entries again someday...

...sigh....
