The U-Haul person has yet to tell us exactly when we will get our truck on Saturday. Mechamom has, however, given me a temporary timetable type thing to tell you meanwhile. Basically I will update you if/when something more specific is known, but until then, the standing request is for you to be at Knightridge around 1 PM. That should give us several hours to get the truck, fill it with things, and drive it down there.

You'll probably want to IM me your cell number or something, assuming you didn't already, I honestly can't remember. But either way once I get it Trillian will log it. Similarly, my cell number is 812 360 4201. I give it openly simply because it's a TracFone that expires after tomorrow anyway, so any Inter Tube phone-pranksters will have very little opportunity to work their evils. Take that, blagoweb.

There will only be the one U-Haul load plus probably a carload, and the U-Haul won't be completely filled anyway since we're mainly using it just to get the stuff that we can't lug down in the van later. So the entire operation won't take too long.

This entry will explode in 2 seconds.

ps actually maybe the phone expires at the beginning of tomorrow but either way I'll get you mecha's cellphone too as soon as I figure out the number
Dear electricity:

What the hell, what is with the going out for hours. You suck. On the other hand, <3 my UPS. I got to sit here playing City of Heroes in an electricity-less apartment. ...for about three minutes and then it was obvious the power wasn't coming back so I had to shut down. But.

We took possession of the new apartment today! We also drove down Kirkwood, which is a major location of eateries in Bloomington, to see what was still there. Mecha's favorite taco place is gone, and possibly also the middle eastern place where we used to get schawarmas or however you spell them. I hope it's still there, but if it is we both missed it. And I had my first Carnegie Classic in two years! That is the corned beef/pastrami sammich at Dagwood's. It is the world's best sandwich. Seriously. YUM.

This paragraph is mainly for me, but maybe someone else cares or is just extremely bored. I just need to note down somewhere the things that we want to have maintenance look at based on what we saw today: the doorstopper thing behind the front door doesn't work, which means now there's a little dent in the wall; the kitchen light has like a million dead bugs on top of the glass sheet; there's water damage in a closet and on the living room ceiling (minus a billion points for me for not noticing this before we signed the lease); and the garbage disposal won't turn on. Oh, and mecha's room's miniblinds don't close. Essentially it is four nonproblems that it's just their job to fix, and a possible problem re: the water damage.

I've decided that the reason this apartment was so conveniently vacant is because it's built on an ancient Indian burial ground. The previous tenants finally got tired of the ghost of Chief Coughing Bear waking them up in the middle of the night asking them to make him a snack.
