- Last Saturday, when I picked up my car, the guys at the garage at which I park my car informed me that the garage would close at the end of the month. It is becoming an art gallery. (What a Chelsea cliche, huh?) When I returned the car Sunday night, they informed me the garage is closing on the 27th, not the end of the month. This has created the need for me to make other arrangements for my car, pretty much by the end of the coming weekend.
- Another thing I’m going to have to do this weekend is return the cable hardware (converter box and cable modem) from my old apartment. Time Warner won’t shut off the service until I return the equipment. They wanted to make an appointment to come pick it up, but they would only pick it up from me, at the old address, not the doorman at the new address.
- On the other hand, we got the first bill from our new cable provider, RCN. Although the service is supposed to be costing us $70 a month (an introductory rate for the first 6 months), the bill was over $140, and the itemization include a bunch of things that were complete mysteries to me.
- My iPod is frozen at 0:00 of a particular song (which happens to be Saint Stephen from 7/16/76) and the hard reset sequence won’t work. The backlight remains on. I’m hoping that if I just let the battery run down, when I plug it in to charge it, it will reset then.
- Brian and I have two pieces of furniture (a small couch and a full-size futon) in our 2-bedroom apartment. My computer is on an overturned moving box. We won’t have more furniture until he moves in, probably on March 1, and in the interim, the apartment isn’t all that comfortable. Unfortunately, before he moves in (i.e., this weekend), we have to install shelves or something in our two huge closets (my stuff is just piled into the extra bedroom), and at the moment, that’s occurring for me as an unspeakably complex task, and something else I’m
going to have to deal with this weekend.
- The “Bin Laden” tape. The Bush administration authenticated it? And we should believe them, why? What could they want us not to pay attention to? The Abramoff scandals? Domestic spying?
- WordPress post-by-email is flaky, or maybe I just don’t understand it well enough. It’s adding an equal sign at the end of every line.
