I've got high-speed internet at home! Yippee!
But I'm at work now. Boo!
In other apartment-related news: New roomie is working out well; very nice, considerate, and fun. Although still sans job. I'm not worried about her not paying rent, or breaking the lease, but I am wondering if she'll stick around when the lease is up in August, or move on to somewhere cheaper.
She and I did a little bit of roommate bonding yesterday. Through the kind gift of my neighbor, Brent, she and I got free tickets to the Preds game yesterday. Nice tickets, too. Turns out Brent plays guitar for the pop-country-singer-chick who sings during the period breaks, so he gets extra tickets sometimes. Anyway, they won in overtime, and are going to the playoffs, so: Yay, Nashville!
Following this, new roomie and I went to 3rd and Lindsley to see this country guy, Eric Heatherly. She's been talking about this show since she got here, so I decided to further roommate relationships and go along (and, well, she paid for my ticket). He was pretty good, playing a little bit bluesy and funky stuff along with what I'd call "regular" country (but then again, what do I know about country music? Not much.) All in all, I enjoyed it. Yes. I did.
Stop laughing at me.
I'll even add here that I did this instead of going to see Guided By Voices at the Exit/In.
.....
I wonder how much of my friends/blog audience I drove away by admitting that.
Anyway, so that, plus a stop at the Gold Rush for a Sierra Nevada and a bean burrito, was my Thursday night.
Time to run -- NashvilleChris and I are picking up a couch being donated to me by my friend Eva's boyfriend, (he just got some schmancy job in Washington DC).
Even MORE desperately-needed furniture is being donated to me tomorrow, thanks to my neighbor John, who is replacing all his IKEA stuff with West Elm stuff (!).
But I'm at work now. Boo!
