Absent Observer

Things just don't seem to be slowing down around here. Kurt and I just got back from a trip to B-more this weekend for our third and final installment of "packing and moving" and his stuff should be coming to a storage space near us tomorrow.

We threw a small party on Saturday night in the completely empty apartment - BYOB & BYOC (chair). We had a lot of fun - our friend Emily from college came down and we got to see Allison and her pregnant belly - she is due at the end of April. Things got kinda crazy with a large roll of industrial cling wrap but it stopped short of throwing it over the 18th floor balcony to see how fast it would unravel (and kill someone).

We have also gotten to sample a number of rental cars over the past month or so and the last was certainly not our favorite.

We got a Mercury Sable - which unbeknowst to us is the modern day old people's car. A list of the old-people friendly amenities: bench seat in the front with pull down arm rest, gear shift on the steering column, light knob on the left panel and the thing had no turning radius to speak of. No new-fangled console with confusing buttons, and a really loud chime if you don't put your seatbelt on.

Other than that things are busy and domestic. Kurt lost the remote to the TV about 2 weeks ago while it was on input mode (there's not button on the TV to change it) so our tv is only good for watching DVDs or playing video games.

I've been trying to cook, but with 2 people in a tiny one bedroom apartment, we seem to be cleaning most of the time.

Time to find somewhere new to live! Other than that, the sharing of bills is starting to kick in and it is sweet!

More next time I can resurface…
