verbminxBlah. I'm tired. Have an unfulfilled craving for broccoli-cheese soup. So sad. Just bought spinach/artichoke/cheese dip at the grocery store, which might help.
Spent all day waiting for this appliance-repair guy to come. It looks like we might be getting a new dishwasher. He had to look at the refrigerator, dishwasher, and clothes washing machine. He also managed to unbalance the clothes washer, which is upsetting 'cause it means that either my mom or me is going to have to mess up her back (that is, the back of whoever chooses to lift it while the other person puts the little block back underneath).
By the time he finally got here and did his business and left, I was too tired to go to the movies. I got ready to go out but realised it was unrealistic to think that I could sit through anything, especially on a weekend during which the theaters are certain to be crowded. I finished packing up a box that I owe someone (who knows who she is), so now it is completely ready to mail. I also watched part of River's Edge, which I haven't seen in ten years or so. Hm.
I tried to accustom my cat to his little house-bed that looks like a giant strawberry, but the entrance is too small and he doesn't like it and won't go all the way in. He would stick his head and shoulders in to get at the catnip I'd put into it, and balk at going any further. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for the thing.
So I went to WalMart to look for curtain rods for my room. What passes for curtain rods in there now is highly questionable - we're talking about one rod that isn't really wide enough for the window in question, "faked" with a dowel in the middle which only works 'cause I have tulle wound around and around it and draped down the sides of the window. The other set of windows has a sheet tacked over them, with thumbtacks), and no curtain rod at all. I just want to get some kind of cafe rod onto which I can stick tab-tops, so that if my mom decides to sell the house, prospective buyers aren't horrified by my teenage attempts at window-dressing. At any rate, I failed miserably in this attempt... most of the decorative rods, in colors I would actually want, were sold out, as were the little curtain clips (which allow you to easily make a curtain out of any sort of fabric, and even hang the curtain from things other than a rod). Well, I'm getting lost in minutiae, but I think I've made my point.
After that, popped over to Pier One to check what their curtain rods go for. Not all that more expensive than WalMart's decorative selections... I should look at Home Depot or Lowe's or something). Then I went to the bookstore, ate something I ought not have eaten (turtle cheesecake), skimmed a few books, and left with a hot Greek guy named Herodotus. (Penguin's edition of Histories... supahstahhhh.)
Then I conceived an unholy craving for broccoli and cheese soup, and so we come full circle, drawing this action-packed yet curiously dull entry to a close.
