I slept in today and it was nice. I woke up a couple times in the
middle of the night thinking about house stuff but always managed to
get back to sleep. And even when I woke up this morning I stayed in
bed awhile longer just because I could.
My main accomplishment for the day was digging out and going through
the numerous boxes of kitchen stuff I have. My mom has been buying
me stuff here and there since I turned eighteen, and it looks like
I'll finally get to use it soon. I had never seen all the stuff in
one place before and good grief. There are still a few things that
I'll need to get probably, but I'm definitely set when it comes to
plates, bowls, cups, and silverware. And measuring cups and spoons,
of which I've got three sets of both. I went through each box and
gave each more specific masking tape labels so I will know what's in
them.
I was supposed to know by noon whether my acceptance of the counter
offer was accepted and by two o'clock I still hadn't heard anything
so I texted my realtor. He got back to me and said I was good to go
on scheduling the radon and termite testing and getting my insurance
company to look at the roof. We'll see if any of those places is
open on Sunday. And if not, hopefully they open at eight o'clock on
Monday so I can call them before work. I've only got a week to get
it all done. We'll see how that all goes.
With the rest of my day I did laundry, watched YouTube videos, looked
up house-related things, and watched two movies. I started with
Pontypool, which is a
zombie-like thriller that takes place in a radio station and for most
of the movie all the zombie action is only implied. So rather than
seeing crazy zombies stumbling around, you hear about the events
going on in the town through people calling into the radio station.
It was interesting but I wanted more out of the ending. It is based
on a book and now I want to read the book because I imagine it is
better than the movie.
The second movie I watched was
called 31. It is kind
of a cheesy horror movie with a decent budget so it wasn't entirely
awful. It reminded be a bit of Devil's Rejects
but with the budget of House of 1000 Corpses.
The premise of the movie is that a group of carnival people are
kidnapped and then try to survive for twelve hours inside a warehouse
complex while being hunted by various killers. The first killed is a
Nazi midget who can speak Spanish or Portuguese. Unique to say the
least. For the most part I'm not a fan of graphic violence so I made
sure to be looking at my other monitor while people were being
killed, but I don't feel like I missed anything. It's not a movie I
would watch again but because I was doing other things while I
watched it, I don't feel like it was a waste of time.
It is now late and I'm going to go
to bed. Tomorrow I might call some places about the stuff I need
tested at the house, if they're open. I will also be reading my
column in the newspaper. That is a little exciting and also a little
terrifying. I'm also a little afraid that it will be in next
Sunday's paper, not tomorrow's, but I'm pretty sure it is tomorrow's.
I'll find out soon enough. If it is tomorrow I might go out and buy
a couple copies of the newspaper for the sake of posterity and
because it will be the first time I have had something I have written
published in the newspaper. But now it's time for bed.
