I don't have much to say today. The stupid apartment flooded because a pipe blew up or something. None of our stuff was damaged but they have these loud fans and dehumidifiers running to try to dry the carpet and prevent mold from growing, and it's really obnoxious. I have one right next to me. It's loud. And the air is really uncomfortably dry ( Read more... )

Well, the deal fell through, and I'm not happy about it. Once again I have to search for an apartment. Would be nice to have a housemate to help with the bills, but if not I'm going to look for a one bedroom again. At this time of year I think it's going to be harder to find a good place, though.

Well, now that I have been thoroughly convinced it is indeed not a hoax, I've decided to go for a free iPod. The deal is, you have to sign up for a trial offer (AOL, BMG music service, and eBay are a few of the companies that have been featured), then get five friends to do the same. Upon acceptance of the six offers, I get a free iPod (and each of ( Read more... )

Oh I forgot to mention I went to Eric's going away party this past Saturday. It was a lot of fun and it was great to see all those people again.... but to whoever put the bowl of tomatoes in my trunk without sealing the lid, I cast a voodoo spell on you ( Read more... )

I got my LoJack installed today, finally. And I put down a deposit on an apartment. The other half of the IT department at work is away on vacation, so I've been even busier than usual. That's all I have time for today. Ta-ta for now.

Let's bring you up to speed on my dealings with Quirk Volkswagen. After today, I couldn't stand NOT to write this ( Read more... )

I should point out that the car itself is pretty awesome.

I finally got my new car yesterday. I have to say, I've been pretty unhappy with Quirk's service so far. I knew it would be a hassle to deal with them, but with the hardball negotiation, their failure to repair the rear seat velour as promised and overall sliminess, it wasn't exactly a wonderful shopping experience.

Finding a good apartment is not easy, as evidenced by my bad experience with a certain rental management company in South Boston. I looked at a place in Quincy which was really nice (and big!), but it's a little pricey. Do I look around to see if I can get a better deal, or do I put down the deposit and take the apartment? I'm a little wary of ( Read more... )

I think I swore I would never have a livejournal, although my homepage has always been a journal of sorts. But everyone else was doing it, and I just wanted to be popular. I don't know exactly what I'm going to be posting here. I will start by expressing my frustration over people who don't call. Especially a certain boy - let's call him S. I ( Read more... )
