omg this tv is amaaaaaaazing. 46″ of wowness. the picture quality is beyond words. it’s a bit crazy going to a tv that’s twice the size as the old one. it’s taking a bit of adjustment but i think i can manage. getting the damn thing was a journey in and of itself. i had requested dhl to make another delivery attempt so i decided to work from home so i could be here for that. of course they still had it on hold at the station for pick up so my friend andrew and i had to rent a zipcar and journey down to the southside to pick it up. that was just grand. as we were walking down broadway to pick up the car it was sleeting and i was trying to have a conference call with work. good times. i finally got the tv and it was sort of worth the battle. especially the one i had trying to set it up. it ended up being a lot heavier than i had expected. i tried lifting it out of the box only to realize that it wasn’t happening. so i had to lightly turn the box over on its side and slide the tv out and drag it into the living room. at this point i had to muster enough strength up to pick it up off the floor.

good times.

after reviewing my most current cell phone bill i have determined that i have enough rollover minutes saved up that i could talk on the phone for five consecutive days and never hang up and still have a bit left over.

bleh, what is up with me having even less to talk about than normal?

i’m so tired of these bogus winter storm predictions that just don’t come to fruition. i get all excited thinking it will be bad enough to warrant the office being closed and then it just doesn’t happen. granted it did snow a lot today, it certainly didn’t get bad enough to not have to go into the office tomorrow.

i’m just hoping the journey to work isn’t as bad as it was today. it was sleeting this morning and to make it worse i think my umbrella is at my friend john’s place. the walk to the bus stop was bad enough with the wind blowing cold ice into my face but it got so much more worse as i stood on the corner of foster & ashland waiting for the #92 bus to come. there was a point while i was standing there that i just wanted to go home and climb back into bed, either that or just start crying. it was at the point that i realized that as much as i love winter with its snow and cold weather, i’m so done with it for a while. spring and summer need to hurry up and get here.

speaking of spring and summer arriving shortly, it looks like i’ll be playing on a softball league starting in may. this should be fun(ny). i’ve warned my friend who got me to join that i haven’t played since i was 7 so this is bound to be an interesting adventure.

in other horrific news, my cable card that is in my tivo messed up sometime today and random channels aren’t showing up. tonight’s episode of project runway didn’t get recorded! i’m hoping it gets fixed soon so i can catch a re-air sometime soon. rcn totally blows, i think i need to consider the move to the equally bad comcast.

i’m trying to decide what i’m going to do apartment-wise as my lease will be coming up for renewal in four months. while i do have plenty of time to find a new place, i have less than 60 days to decide if i want to move or give it another year here. i have this horrible fear of not being able to find something decent in my price range. do i want a 1 bedroom or a large studio? do i stay in andersonville or try a new neighborhood? roommate or no roommate? too many decisions to make.

i’m 5% closer to purchasing the couch (for a total of 95% sure). i think i’m going to go this weekend to check it out once more before i order fabric swatches and place my order. oh yeah, and i should probably make sure it will fit in my place as well.

and now it’s nearly 3am and i’m not asleep yet. i probably shouldn’t have taken a nap earlier this evening.
