10/10/10

Today is 10/10/10 and I already have tons of crap to do. Yep tons of crap. Got groceries. Put my car in the shop and now apparently have to pick up a couch. Now of course it wasn't my idea. When it comes to furniture I'm very lazy. I hate moving stuff so once things are where I like I don't move them ever. Well my roommate got this deal on a couch. So he wants to move the futon couch into my room, deflate my air bed and put the couch in. Yeah I didn't want to do that. Because he made it sound to easy. Made it sound like oh they are going to bring the couch by and we just bring it in. Well now the guys back is hurt and now I have to move the couch onto the trailer then have them drive it up then move it into my apartment. Like I said I hate moving furniture. Worst part is that if my car wasn't in the shop I'm sure that they would have tried to get me to hitch the trailer onto my car. Ugh.
At least today I get to watch new episodes of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien are on. Thank goodness. Something good out of today. Yeah....that's pretty much it.
So I clearly remember a lot of things tv related from my childhood. Well one thing I remember quite well is the old Tombstone Pizza commercials. Unlike today's commercials they were pretty clever. Sad they don't do them anymore. Anyway I like this one. I remember it the most. Today's tip is today is 10/10/10 meaning you will see a bunch of marathons on tv and hear lame 10 puns.

There needs to be a moving check list

So like I said in the last entry I helped a friend move Saturday night and Sunday. Wow was this guy unorganized. You'd think someone with his red tape job would be a lot more organized. He told me and my roommate oh I don't have much stuff. The heaviest things will be the couch, mattress, box spring, and TV. Then I have a table and a bunch of boxes. Well we get there and of course that's not the case. He had night stands, pictures, a desk, a filing cabinet. Stuff that clearly he forgot about somehow. Now he rented a 10 ft Uhaul. He should have gotten a 14 ft one and we would have told him that if he was truly honest with us and himself. Plus he still had everything plugged in. Now this is not like we just stopped by and said we're ready. No this had been in the works for at least two weeks. Plus he had stuff in his storage unit he forgot to mention. So as we are moving stuff he's like oh I have a bike. Well don't you think you should have mentioned it before. Plus he had this huge ass heavy wall painting that he never hung up because it was so heavy and he's had it for 2 years. It was a gift. Well hate to tell you this, but clearly the person doesn't know if you have it or not. It was just a nightmare. Me and my roommate left fuming because he basically lied to us and didn't do a good job packing. So before we left we said we are coming back at 8. Load up your car so we can just leave. We get there Sunday at 8 and we can't get into the building. We call him and his phone is turned off. We check his car nope nothing. So he finally decided to turn on his phone and come check the lobby for us we had to spend an extra hour packing up his stuff. Plus throw out a desk for him. So we are now running an hour late. Half way there he calls up the landlady and leaves her a message saying we are an hour away. We get there and she's not there. Now to his credit it's not his fault. Turns out she was with the grandkids feeding ducks at the park 10 minutes away. So we happened to see his patio door is open so we just started unloading stuff. She comes by and asks if someone let us in. We said no the patio door was open. She didn't ask any other questions. Then during the whole unpacking thing my room mate was starting to get a low blood sugar and asked if he had anything to snack on. Nope didn't bring any food. Doesn't know where the vending machine is. So we finally get it all done and we are getting ready to go eat. All of a sudden he realizes he has to mail something so he needs envelopes. He combs through all the boxes can't find them then says oh well I don't have to mail it now. THEN WHY THEY HELL DID YOU LOOK FOR THE ENVELOPES! Plus I'm waiting in the hot car. Then he has to turn off the fan. So we finally leave to get food. That was fine then we go get gas. Now he realizes that he has to swept out the Uhaul otherwise there is a $25 fee. He of course doesn't bring a broom because the other place needs to be cleaned out. So he thinks maybe the gas station will have one he could use. They didn't of course so he just used that window cleaner. Then when he was trying to figure out where the Uhaul drop off was he puts it into his GPS and he gets two different locations so he had to go in to ask the attendant for a yellow pages. So we find this place and we have to drop it off and by this time me and my roommate are beat. We finally get home 2 hours and a half later and we are just exhausted. So this morning me and my friend were talking about artists that get really popular then fade into obscurity. One I happened to mention was the spice girls. Then I also brought up the fact that I think Posh Spice was added kinda at the last minute before they hit it big. I say that because if you listen to Wannabe you hear Mel B. name off the other girls and herself, but you don't hear her say anything about Victoria. She mentions M (Mel. C), G (Geri think that's how she spells it), E (Emma), and herself. Don't believe me? Well listen to the song yourself. That's kinda something I always suspected, but honestly I think the song confirms it. Today's tip is if you ask your friends to help you move and you haven't packed anything expect to owe them 2 children instead of one.

I had a busy weekend

The reason why I didn't post at all the past weekend was because I was moving. Started really early on Saturday. I didn't really have time to get the comp out and post something before I got started. If I did try then I wouldn't have finished when I did. Then on Sunday I didn't post because my new place doesn't have internet yet and all the other signals were secure. So I had to go two days without it. To make matters worse my new place doesn't have cable so I couldn't even watch TV. So needless to say I was a bored reck. Well not really bored since I had tons of stuff to move. Will say that relaxing and watching tv would have been nice. I got really sore after the first day. I should have taken protein and glutamine after I finished instead of eating, unpacking, then going to bed. Oh and I know what your thinking, I thought you couldn't get out of your other lease until March. Well that's true, but I did sign up for this place because if I waited then well I wouldn't have been able to move all my stuff in quickly since the new store opens today and I'm working 6 days a week the rest of this month. Plus this place comes with a room mate so that means less financial stress for me. Besides there was no way I could live in that place any longer with that asshole of a landlord of mine. Plus today the new store opens and guess who gets the first shift. Yep that would be me. Trying to do everything I need a comp for right now because there is a wireless signal there, but no place I can kinda hide away to play. Even if there was I wouldn't hear the customers since we don't have a bell. Oh and to make things better I found out that they are making a 5th generation of pokemon. How the hell can they do that? I mean they have seriously done everything. I'm surprised they managed to push out a 4th generation let alone a 5th. Well good luck with that. So like I said I didn't have tv set up at my new place, but I do have a dvd player. So I watched one of my DVDs. I watched Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan, which is something I watched when I was back at college. So I figured I'd post the 1st two episodes of the show. Now you should know that one episode is basically 15 minutes. So there are two episodes in an airing. Oh and after watching it if your still confused don't worry. The show does not make sense and is not meant to. Today's tip is life is constantly in motion. Either go with it or end up like a pancake like a cartoon character.
