Moved in ... mostly

Good morning. I'm blogging at 4-ish in the morning because I can't sleep ... more on that later.

Anyway, we're just about moved in. The movers came on Friday to haul the big stuff (bed, sofas, telly, desk, piano, futon). And can you believe I got the cable guy to come on the same day?!?! So we didn't miss any of our DVR stuff! Holler!

We're still moving stuff. There are a few things left in the old place, which we have keys to until the end of the month. As reported earlier, it's only an 8-block move, but I have Sciatica, which happens to come and go. It's been "dormant" for months, but guess who decided to creep up just as we started moving?!?!

Anyway, that's why I can't sleep ... Discomfort City. I'll probably see a doctor once the move is entirely finished. Again, just a few things left - some clothes, curtain rods, picture frames, etc.

The new place is great, but a few hiccups so far. Our buzzer to the front door isn't working, so whenever someone buzzes in, I have to go downstairs to let them in. The first morning we were here, we had an electrical issue in the kitchen, so I had to brew the wife's coffee in the hallway. It wasn't a blown fuse - I'm not that much of a moron to where I couldn't figure that one out. There was a loose wire and one of the super's lackeys came in to fix the issue. And finally, our toilet leaks when it's flushed. Probably getting that fixed today.

Lots of unpacking left to do ... my wife has gotten a great start on this. I was busy setting up the computer, telly, internet, Apple TV, etc. And I have a bunch of "little things" that need putting away (music stuff), so my unpacking will take awhile. Our new place is bigger, but we had a bit more storage in the other place, so we'll be looking to get some more storage at IKEA soon. I must admit - I love shopping there.

OK, so some of my friends didn't like the O6 return to the island ... or, the episode at least. I don't know ... I loved it. The beginning that mirrored the first scene of the series, Mrs. Hawking's "lecture", seeing everyone on the plane (including Lapidus!!!) ...

... sorry, my cat just jumped on the piano and scared the fucking bejeezus out of me (it's only nearly 5a right now) ...

... anyway, I thought the episode was great. So many unanswered questions, which people just don't understand - THAT'S WHY WE WATCH LOST!!! WE LOVE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!!! Seriously, though, what's the point in watching something if you already know what's gonna happen?

My favorite "unanswereds" from this episode:
  • Did Ben go to kill Penny?
  • What happened to Aaron?
  • How did Hurley know about Flight 316?
  • Why is Sayid being escorted to Guam by a policewoman?
  • Who was that other guy in First Class with the O6 (O5 + Ben)?
  • Are the rest of the left-behinds working for Dharma too?
Anyway, looks like we get "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" this week (which was originally supposed to air before "316", I've read). Looks good.

Take care all.
