Waiting on the man...

The cable guy is here. He has been here for three hours, and so far there is no end in sight. Apparently the phone and cable jacks in our new apartment aren't actually attached to anything, which means we can't just plug in and linkup. So I am stuck, sitting in an apartment with no heat (the gasman doesn't come for two more weeks), with no tv to watch and no internet to surf. I have read an entire novel since he got here (ok, it was a short novel, but longer than a novella!), and my fiance is pushing me to read his favorite book, which in spite of my promises, I am attempting to delay for awhile yet.

The boy is glued to his iphone, playing games, surfing vimeo, reading his email, and checking the stats of his various web endeavors. Including this one. Apparently, people actually read my dumb little blog, which leads me to wonder, if you're reading this right now, who are you? How did you find my site? Why do you come back?

And also, thanks. I'll try to post something interesting soon. For now, here's a short video to watch. It makes me so happy.

 

Update: It took seven hours. SEVEN.

You'll like Ender's Game once you start it. I know it's scifi, which turns a lot of people off, but it reads like a regular fiction novel.

I never thought I'd like it either, but it's become one of my favorite books.

PS- Repairmen of any kind are the worst.

Hey Emily! Since the comments were off in your last post, I just wanted to say that I was glad to see The Brothers Bloom on your list of things you liked in 2009. That was my favorite movie of the year!
