some things i've learned this weekend...

1) this morning i needed a shower. i mean bad. i smelled like homeless. but i hadn't yet gotten a shower curtain. i think to myself "how much does a shower curtain really do, anyways?" and got into the shower, promising to myself that i'd get one later today.

what i learned from doing this is that when you don't have a shower curtain, and you take a shower anyways... it's kind of like inviting all of your friends to your bathroom, and you have each one of them dump five gallons of water on your floor.

2) you can't really expect to be able to blow up a full-size inflatable mattress with a bicycle pump, no matter how cool those visions of having a huge bed that doubles as a floation device in case of a water landing. the water in question probably being from some dumbass thinking they could get around the "Buy a Shower Curtain for Your Tub Before Showering in it" rule.

3) sopping wet laundry weighs about 500 times more than dry or even damp just-out-of-a-working-washing-machine laundry.

4) moving is sweaty, annoying, sometimes lonely but also sorta fun work.

5) builders in the 1930s or 40s really didn't believe in having electrical outlets in convenient places. like the kitchen. there's one in the dining area... so when i bake or even make toast i gotta run an extension cord from that!??! gay. hella gay. there's also only one phone jack, in the dining area, meaning dining area is now computer room/artsy fartsy area.

6) if you have a hot hot superhot computer (meaning fast, not stolen... but maybe it's that, too), then dialup feels almost as fast as being on web at work. i love it.

7) (and possibly the most important thing i learned all weekend...) ron perlman's in police academy 7.
