Argh. I should so be
Argh. I should so be asleep right now. I have to get up pretty early tomorrow morning b/c I forgot to return stupid Blockbuster videos that I rented over the weekend. Cross my fingers that when I move my car tomorrow morning that my car space will still be there when I go back to repark it. I hate parallel parking. I was really excited when I managed to parallel park the other day after I dropped Mike at the airport. I kind of thought I wouldn't have to drive again for like, two weeks or something. Damn. I really should just suck it up and learn how to parallel park decently.
Other than that...today was a pretty ok day. I had a two hour meeting with my advisor where we hashed out a lot of my research topic. It was pretty refreshing b/c I think we're kind of moving forward. Plus, I managed to convince a bunch of people to go see a classical concert this Friday, which I didn't actually think I would succeed at doing. But apparently I've become the social organizer and I manage to find things for us to do, and I drag everyone along to go. Does that mean I have too much free time?
Anyway, Scott made dinner tonight since we were supposed to work on our security homework today. But, right when we started working on it, I started falling asleep. Ok, so for some odd reason, whenever I start reading research papers, no fail, no matter how much sleep I've gotten the night before (although last nite I don't think I got that much sleep), I will always pass out before I get to the third page. So, I was pretty useless. I figured I should go home, so we were backing out of his driveway when his car got stuck. You can imagine, he's got this dinky Firebird with rear wheel drive, and there is about an inch of slush/snow that his car has to plow through. His parking space is right next to a ditch too, so he had managed to back his car out to somehow end up face itself toward the ditch, so if he wanted to move forward, he would go straight into the ditch, and his car's butt was up on a hill where there was a crap load of snow. So, we spent the next hour throwing boiling water on his rear tires to try to melt the ice. It was pretty humorous. His neighbor happened to come home around half way through our throwing water on the wheel, and he, being a pretty big guy, ends up sitting on the trunk of his car to put some weight in the car, and Scott finally manages to get his car out of the driveway. We were feeling pretty "un-local" without having a snow shovel or salt for the matter. Snow, I've decided...sucks.
I think that's about it for now. Tomorrow I have to wake up crazy early (some more) to film for my whole Dorothy thing. Hopefully my acting skills will have miraculously improved in the last couple of days...
