so this weekend Starz had a free movie weekend which was great, got to see movies that i wouldn't really rent but ended up being good. anyways so the free weekend was suppose to last until the 18th (or so i thought), but turns out that as i was watching the hulk (i've seen it already so not too annoyed) Starz decided to end the movie weekend. the thing is that it decided to do so at 7pm on the 17th, which was 1 hr into the movie. you'd think they would stop it at midnight or something. i could understand if it was around 10pm or so 'cause then it would be midnight or whatever on the east coast, but 7??? although it was kinda fun to go down one channel to the next starz channel (since they have like 8 or so) and do a count down to when that channel would get turned off.
but now there's nothing to watch on tv, at least not on the channels that my mom gets although it takes about 20 minutes to channel surf thru them all. after working 8 hrs today i really don't want to do anything that involves any serious thinking, not that my job is all that intellectually challenging, but still. i'm actually surprised i'm sitting at a computer right now, since that's what my job entails.
something i could do is apply for my student visa online so i actually have it when i leave to australia in a couple weeks, but i think i'll wait 'til tomorrow, plus i need a credit card and well since i have no credit i really can't get a credit card (at least one w/ a good rate or whatnot) so i gotta wait to get my mom's.
hmmm....this morning i found out that it takes some skill to use a coffee pot/maker, which i guess i don't have (at least not yet). no, i didn't make a big mess, but i wasn't able to drink any of the 3 pots of coffee that i attempted to make. each pot only had about 2-3 cups so it wasn't like it was a big pot of coffee. anyways, 2 of the 3 attempts the grinds somehow made it thru the filter. on the third attempt no grinds got thru, but i don't think i used enough grinds 'cause the coffee was not exactly coffee. it was more like water with a hint of coffee (and color) which needless to say tasted really bad. i would have kept trying to make more, but had to get to work and had to do so w/out the aid of caffeine. turns out that at work they have coffee, so tomorrow i'll either attempt once again to make coffee or just wait 'til i get to the office. although it would be nice to have some caffeine in me for my 1/2 hr drive to work, i've been a bit spoiled the last 2 summers of it only taking 10min max to get to work. oh well it's money.
one more note to the A cubed people (you know who you are), you couldn't wait to do those things 'til next weekend when i'd be able to partake in them. actually though it would cost me money to have gone to chili's, best buy, etc. mostly best buy, 'cause i can't seem to go in there without coming out w/ at least one movie and/or cd.
'til another random thought (or moment of boredom)

Can I laugh really hard at you for not being able to make coffee? And ya know, we can still do all that stuff again next weekend ... or some of it anyway ... Sounds like the snow might be gone, at least in the RC area, so probably no sledding. 50s later this week. Stinking SoDak weather.
