TV Thyme (15 Days) »

February 28th is going to be an even bigger day – our TV is coming then. We had a slight problem in that the TV we were looking at (the 42-inch Grand WEGA) didn’t fit on the shelf we were going to put it on. The logical solution? Get a bigger shelf or a smaller TV, right?

WRONG!

We got a bigger TV – in the form of the 50-inch WEGA. Rockin. Can’t wait.

Also, I love Expose.

Well, we are getting there. We got some great news today, in that the chairs we had ordered came in early (we were expecting them in late March) – we will be able to have our chairs and couch delivered at the same time. Exciting stuff – pictures to come.

OK – yeah. I did some taxes this morning. I think I did them right – we’ll see. Chicago in a week. New TV soon. Hopefully. Not much else to add. So, so, so far away still.

NO MORE DELAYS. (25 Days) »

I am only a little peeved. We were asked by our future landlord whether we could delay the move any longer. Our response, of course, was that we could not, because we had already delayed by probably about four months. Anyway, we’ve been waiting a real long time. There shouldn’t be too big of an issue, though. More of an annoyance, though, is the fact that we were told we’d be able to access the building wireless network. We tested this today, from our (future) apartment, and were unable to do so. I guess we’ll see what develops. It’s a sad thing, but we have friends who will be living in the building also so we may build our own (faster) network if this doesn’t resolve. Either way, it’s not a huge deal, I suppose. It’d be great to not have the internet bill, because that money could subsequently be diverted to a better TV cable package. We have 13 channels right now and that’s kind of pathetic.

Still no updates from Apple. I don’t know what they’re waiting for, but I am pretty bored right now. We’re going to Chicago in two weeks so that will be pretty fun. Our department is also getting Macromedia Studio MX which will be fun fun cause I’ll finally start to learn Flash, and also Dreamweaver.

I Found My Remote! (26 Days) »

It was in a box. A box I had checked before but I guess I missed it. Anyway, it’s all good. Also, I decided it’d be fun to disassemble my keyboard because it was super-gross inside. There was a brief moment of panic when I put it back together and it didn’t do anything, but then the little “num lock” light came on and all was well.

The Patriots won the Super Bowl and Tom Brady got another car. Well, good for him. Seriously, though, that was a great game. Interesting that they won with field goal just like they did two years ago.

Happy Groundhog’s Day.
