Today has been... interesting...

Went to sleep, got up about 1 p.m. Got in the shower. About halfway through, I heard this super loud buzzing sound and it freaked me the fuck out. So I finished up real quick and hopped out to discover the smoke alarm (which is right outside the bathroom door) going off. I had left the door open and neglected to turn the fan on, so the steam set it off. I couldn't find an off switch or figure out how to pull the battery out, so I ended up just ripping it from the ceiling. I don't think I caused irreparable damage. I was a little paranoid that one of the neighbors might be home and wonder what was going on and I'd have to answer the door in my towel and tell my embarrassing story.

I got dressed, decided I needed to get some food so I can stop going out to get it and so I have stuff to take with me to work. I peek outside to check the weather to see what kind of coat I should put on, decide it's cool and select my leather coat. Turn around to exit the door and it's pouring down rain. Switched to a hooded, water resistant variety of coat. Also discovered the gutter is plugged up, judging by the wall of water cascading over the side of it. Go out to the grocery store which is teeming with seniors and toddlers on a weekday afternoon. I'm going back to grocery shopping in the middle of the night.

Grocery shopped while hungry (bad idea) and returned home to find that not only is the freezer space lacking, it's jammed full in a completely unorganized way. So I just jammed more in. I'll go back and organize later. There's probably tons of space in there.

Then I was catching up on email and realized I need to figure out how to tape TS tonight. So I ran out to Target to get tapes (and light bulbs, batteries, and contact solution). Returned home to fiddle with Roommate's VCR upstairs trying to figure out how to record, because I still think the cable downstairs is messed up. Notice that amongst the 8 remote controls, none of them belong to the VCR. Then I notice there's a tape already in the VCR and take it out. Yup, it's porn. Climax Shots 108. Decided I'd rather go back and figure out what's going on downstairs. Plug a different TV directly into the cable and run the channel setup and it works just fine. So I hook the home theater back up and discover my VCR was on the wrong setting ("TV" instead of "Cable"). Run the auto channel discovery and it works just fine. Woot!

Now I have 20 minutes before I have to leave for my first day of work. I'm not nervous. I am not nervous.
