Had a rather nice weekend. Went and looked at the new apartment on Saturday...and signed up for it. God, is it nice! Four things I'm especially looking forward to having again; a washer/dryer, a disposal, central heat/air with a thermostat, and a non-shared entryway. Been 2 years since I've had the central heat/air, and 6 since I've had the others. I am so sick of scrounging quarters for laundry, fretting about throwing a food product out for fear of stenching the place up within hours, and endlessly tweaking the radiator/backup space heater/AC wall unit in a vain attempt to keep a vaguely static temperature for Snark's benefit.

Did a pack dinner on Sunday night, with the addition of chebutykin and sleepingzebras. Despite Bennigans's best efforts to ruin it with a poor stock of food and beverage, poorly mixed drinks, slow service, and a very generous gratuity included in the bill, it was a blast :) Much conversation and ranting was done. Cheb was a treat to have around, as always, and her friend fit right in. And we definitely need to have Kumar and Lavanya along more often!

Many things to do tonight. Time to put the summer tires back on the car, take down the plastic coverings on the windows, give Snark's tank a thorough cleaning, feed her, and give her some cuddles (hey, snakes need lovin' too!) We'll see how much gets done tonight :)

Something good: Cheb and crew are heading back next weekend! Cheboverload! Which really is a good thing ;) I think we need to get drunk and watch movies!

Something bad: Benngians. We need a new burgers-and-booze place.

Something disturbing: I blinked, and apparently missed spring again. A week or so ago, it was in the 20-40 range, and snowing periodically. Now it's reaching the 80s. Y'know, I really like days in the lower 60s range, I wish Illinois was allotted more of them ;)
