finally bought a dehumidifier yesterday. they cost a bit (the smallest, which we got, was 160), but it definitely is helping. they claim that it is silent, or quiet enough to be in the living area with you when running. that is bull. this thing is louder than a huge room fan. it is so noisy ;P. luckily, once we get the house down to a good ( Read more... )

it looks like the rio is getting all the movies i wanted to see this summer in a clump. this weekend is wolverine (didn't hear good things, but action is always fun to watch), next weekend is startrek, then earth (which we probably aren't going to see, but i still am interested in the filming), and later next month is terminator salvation (i've ( Read more... )
