I finished watching Dr. Who (2005).
The downstairs apartment appears to have three bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen and dining room, and three living rooms. Yes, three living rooms. Two have to be traveled through to get to other rooms in the house, but the third could be made into a fourth bedroom if there were a doorway instead of a huge archway.
Oh, and I actually did wash and left it in the car to take with me, packed some kitchen goods, some workish stuff, and I think the only major things I have left to do are clean Gabe's cage and pack the computer - I got a loaner laptop from school but it doesn't seem to have any way to physically connect to an ethernet cable or wireless, so it's pointless to bring it.
Meanwhile, it must be sweeps week for the legislature - another one had an aide write me back personally AND call me! When *are* elections anyways?

Revelations
Jul. 14th, 2006 06:09 pmI realized the other day that one of the top reasons for dying my hair inhuman colors is entertainment. For the first two weeks, every time I caught sight of myself in the mirror I'd yell "OH MY GOD, MY HEAD'S ON FIRE!" Every single time. It took at least a week for it to wear out.
Now the entertainment lies in other people's reactions. A coworker nearly jumped out of his skin. One of my students' eyes popped out, another was just speechless and immobile. My longest-standing friend said I looked like a Muppet - I think that was my favorite comment. It also reveals a lot about the asker. One of Dad's neighbors first asked me if it was food coloring, then disapprovingly asked what my father thought. I wanted to reply that he thought I was damned well old enough to be making my own decisions. As for Dad himself, I actually walked into the house with a five-dollar straw hat on my head. He said it was ugly, and when I took it off, he said it was an improvement. :-P
