Nothing in Particular

jenepelBasically I'm killing time until 1AM when I should post about the virtual season. No episode this week...just a snippet, but I'm the only one who's free to post. So 40 mins and then I can go to bed. Yay! I'm actually tired, but I think that's mostly b/c I'm tipsy from my night out with teaatsix. We met for a drink to exchange bday presents, and of course one drink turned into three and I hadn't had dinner or a proper lunch, so...there you go. It was fun though. And evidently there is another Heroes con in September, so I'm giving serious thought to that! Hmmm, let's see what else I have to report?
1. I got my money back after the Oscars debacle. I called Virgin at 8AM (as soon as they were open) on Monday morning and complained. It took crying (beasts) but I did get them to refund the money. They weren't slow about turning the movie channels off either - bastards!
2. I think I might end up going to Chicago in April for my friend's wedding. I wasn't planning to go, but I talked to him today and he said he would give me one of his buddy passes (he works for AA) so I can fly mega cheap. Also, my brother said he probably could fly down and meet me for the weekend. PLUS, my boss seems okay about giving me the time off despite it being near a tax deadline (well, really June 15th is our deadline, but still). Those three things point to it being very likely that I will go. YAY! Any excuse to go to the States, basically.
3. We have one new flatmate sorted out and for the other we are looking. Nicola had a hard time getting someone for her room b/c it's mega small, so she pretty much said yes to the first guy who said he wanted it. I hope he's okay (I only met him for like 5 mins) because I'm the one who has to live with him. Juliet just listed hers yesterday, but it should be easy to get someone since it's bigger, so hopefully we can be pickier. I said I wanted a girl b/c I don't want to live with two guys. We had 2 people yesterday and a few more are coming towards the end of the week. Ju wants to get it over and done with, but I want a good flatmate, so we'll see. In any case, I'm moving out at the beginning of June, so it's only 3 months. As long as the person isn't a murderer, I figure I can deal with anyone for that period of time!
4. I am FINALLY going to see Juno tomorrow. It only came out here a few weeks ago, but then Rach (basilm) and I had planned to see it together, and we couldn't find a day, so it kept getting delayed. But we are going tomorrow after work. Yay! I'm sure at this point there is no way for it to live up to the hype, but oh well, what can you do?
5. I'm going by the Embassy on Thurs to turn some stuff in for a client. I'm really excited to see everyone and catch up, but not looking forward to having to stand in line. Last time I was there all the guards were like "wait, you don't work here anymore?" and it was weird.
6. Payday is Friday. Yay.
That's all I have for now. I guess I'll find something to watch for 30 minutes before I need to post...
