Does CA have to choke a bitch?

I missed you blog. Busted for a few days due to either my domain name service, hosting service, or blogger, we will never know. Regardless, my amazing skills have fixed it, hopefully permanently. I can avoid what Ed calls the "angelfire" of the millennium: a blogspot.com address. I was pretty irritated all weekend as a result of my temporary loss. It's like that old song, "don't know what you've got till its gone" right?

Speaking of that song, wow! I had no idea what a bitch it would be to not have a debit card. The replacement card they sent me got lost in the mail. Let's look at a list of other things that have been lost in the mail since I moved here: a paycheck, a Christmas card from my grandparents with a fatty check inside it, various bills, and now a debit card. And half my Christmas cards didn't make it to their destinations either. What's up Chicago mail? Anyway, my life has somewhat stopped without my debit card. I'm hoping this second replacement doesn't get lost.

And in more bitchitude, my landlords called me last week to tell me they'd be at my apartment from 9-5 today to do a total overhaul of the place, including fixing the dishwasher that has been broken since SEPTEMBER and filled with RANCID WATER. This meant I had to leave Audrey in her cage all day, which is sad and stressful for both of us. I get home, after yet another 90 minute commute, and NOBODY was here. They will feel my wrath tomorrow. And did I mention that they think they can raise my rent 55 dollars a month when I renew my lease? Yeah not happening, I'm outta this hell hole come April 30th. See ya MBW Realty.

The blue line will also feel my rage. I'm so over blue. Whatever construction they are doing between the Division and Jackson stops is so horrific it is at times doubling and tripling the time it takes me to get anywhere. I'm going to suck it up, walk the extra two blocks to Fullerton, take the crappy Fullerton bus, and brave the red line south instead. F U Blue Line. You're dead to me for the time being.

And the final thing that needs to be choked is snow. It's cold. It makes my floor a mess. It makes Audrey insane. It needs to be summer soon. I forgot what cabin fever feels like.

Anger over: Onto the goods/weekend update

What the hell did I do for four days with no blog? Good question. I hibernated with Nate I guess. Friday we went to Tecalitlan for Mexican food after he had band practice, then we watched Army of Darkness (which I totally hated). Saturday we got brunch at the Windy City Diner (or was it Cafe?), some diner at the Chicago blue line stop neither of us had been to. We both gave it two thumbs up, and were pretty stupidly excited to find a new diner brunch spot that is easy to get to.

Saturday night we watched the White Diamond because it's basically a rule that if you want to date me you better watch every Herzog movie and at least pretend to like it. Then we watched the Science of Sleep, which was...cute. Gael Garcia Bernal is super hot, but overall the movie was just cute and quaint. Not sure I'd watch it again.

Sunday was a marathon day of being Real Old Adults. We got coffee and bagels, read the New York Times, worked on the puzzle, watched Mythbusters, ordered Chinese, watched two episodes of Big Love (my first time seeing it - it rules), and then watched BSG with JP and Nick like normal.

I would have liked to have seen some friends, but whatever. There's always next weekend.
