From last night, the Rangers remote control Zamboni: [link]

Although I'd need the Sabres: [link]

I'd really have to have it if the Zamboni was like a Roomba and would clean and shine my hardwood floors as I drove it around.

Oh, WANT. Wantwantwantwantwant.

A beautiful combination of words: remote control zamboni.

But sadly, it looks like they don't actually refinish ice (much less polish the floor), but just drive arund looking cute, which reduces my interest considerably.

My horoscope reads:

Whether or not you consider yourself creative, the ideas in your mind have a way of getting out into the world and making themselves known. No one sees things quite like you do, and people like your take on the world. Look for some of your ideas to leak out today in an unconscious act on your part. You may not have meant to break out and be such a star, but everyone can't help but notice what you bring to the table. Try to use this attention to get something you've been wanting.

All i want is a new haircut/style. I dont know how this applies.

Yay for a healthy Mr. Kitty!

In MeMeMe news, I'm all moved in. If by "all moved in," I mean, "Have a bunch of stuff in the car still to bring up, and have boxes and bags scattered all over the place," that is. Cable guy's coming by tonight to hook me up for basic cable (digital has to wait a week--yes, it's a "WTF" situation, mostly dealing with Comcast paperwork issues), so I'm going to end up missing Friday's Doctor Who (damnit!), but I'm checking with a co-worker to see if he could tape it for me.

Cat didn't calm down enough to curl up on top of me until last night--she spent Monday evening (after being let out of the bathroom, where I had her closed in while the movers were bringing everything in--she spent the 3 hours while they were loading up the truck in the carrier, which she hated) exploring. Then on Tuesday morning, she decided to shimmy up the screen door to the balcony. When she got about a foot short of the top of the door, she looked back at me as if to say, "Cool! Now, how do I get down?" Later yesterday, I had forgotten to lock the screen door after I ventured out onto the balcony, which I didn't think about until she managed to open the door all on her own and was about to go exploring. Luckily, I caught her just as she had her nose out the door, and double-checked it before leaving for work this morning.

I did meet my next-door neighbor last night (we were on the elevator at the same time), and a few other building residents while I was doing laundry yesterday morning. I'm in love with the fact that I no longer have to go outside and down the alley to get to the laundry room--it's directly across from the elevator. Also, the storage room on the third floor is right next door to my apartment, so once I get a lock and an assigned space, I can put all my Xmas stuff and the computer boxes in there.

Only really bad thing about this unit is that it faces north, so it was a bit dark in there this morning. The setting sun does get some light into the living room, so it's not so bad in the afternoon/evening.

I'm hoping to get everything organized by Saturday morning, when Dad's coming over. We'll see if that happens!

The pissed off cardinal is back. It's really whacking at the window next door.

Kathy, I'm glad you are all moved and the cat approves.

Hooray for moving, Kathy!

Cable guy's coming by tonight to hook me up for basic cable (digital has to wait a week--yes, it's a "WTF" situation, mostly dealing with Comcast paperwork issues), so I'm going to end up missing Friday's Doctor Who (damnit!), but I'm checking with a co-worker to see if he could tape it for me.

I record it, if you can't get it taped let me know and I can send you a VCD or something.

I was just checking public transit to see if it had imporved or not. Hard to tell becuase the trip planner part of the website doesn't work, but it looks like I can't get from home to work. The only bus route that comes close doesn't transfer from any other routes. Maybe I could swing it through using two different bus services but that looks like it would take 2 - 3 hours of commuting instead of the 20-30 minutes of driving I do. Looks like it's less viable than ever.

I love it. One of my favourite Washington DC memories is of a cardinal indignantly defending his territory against the rival male inside an SUV's rear view mirror.

So it seems there was an 8.0 magnitude earthquake in the Pacific Ocean, and a tsunami may strike Fiji and New Zealand within hours.

Nature freaks me out.
