Had a good day
I had a good day today. I had lunch at Taam China with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rivkaesque, who I haven't seen in years. Afterwords, we went to the kosher wine tasting that Brookline Liquors was having. I bought a bottle of what I'm fairly sure is the stuff I like (at the 20% off price you could get if you agreed to receive their spam).
Later, I helped around a little bit at my family's place, but not nearly as much as I should have. I'm still behind cleaning my place for pesach as well.
Still, over all a good day.

Best line from last night's "House"
Best line from last night's episode of "House": "I'll bring it up at the next world domination subcommittee meeting." World domination...only rates a subcommittee. Hee! (Obviously World Domination is only a side effect of the committee's true purpose, more Kosher restaurants in New Jersey :) |

dripping shower head
My showerhead has this tendency to hiss/spritz/make wierd noises/change water flow if I open the hot water handle too much. It usually goes back to normal if I turn back the handle a bit. Except this time it didn't. I had a bad feeling when the spray went kafluey for more than a few seconds.
Now no matter how tightly I close both handles (yes my shower is that old :), I'm getting a consistent (and loud!) leak.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
I'm going to have to call the plumber in the morning.

The economy hits close to home
In the past 24 hours I've just found out that two of my friends were laid off. One of them was expecting to be laid off when his union job ended. In his case the end just came a few weeks sooner than expected. My other friend just had vague "the economy is bad and the company I work for isn't doing well" feelings. I'm safe so far, but I'm a lot more nervous now than I was 24 hours ago. Current Mood:  stressed |

Home safe! Yay!
I'm home and safe. I had a good time. Much to report, later. Current Mood:  satisfied |

So I'm just hours away from the start of my Vegas Vacation. The link is also available from my profile page. Unfortunately livejournal doesn't allow javascript (for valid reasons) so I can't figure out a way to display the countdown clock directly in my profile page. Anyway, Vegas Baby! This will be my first time in Vegas. I'm combining attending the four day long Westercon with a general "Vegas trip". I often foolishly overstuff my vacations, and this time is no exception. My itinerary is as follows: Tuesday early flight out arrive in Vegas and check into the hotelFind one of the kosher restaurants and grab a bite to eat. Check out the lions as well as the tigers and dolphins. Who needs bears? Check out the Atomic Testing Museum and Star Trek ExperienceFind another kosher restaurant and eat some more. Go back to the hotel. Maybe gamble some or more likely just crash. Wednesday Early trip to the Hoover Dam. I'm doing the complete package, including a ride on the Colorado River. Arrive back in Vegas at the hottest part of the day. Probably crash. Maybe gamble some. May go see Lance Burton pull a rabbit out of a hat, if I'm not too tired and tickets are still available. Thursday Westercon! Almost certainly gamble. Friday ...more Westercon. Frantically shop for Shabbos food. Thankfully I have several leads. Shabbos ...and still more Westercon. Maybe gamble after shabbos, although probably not. Sunday Westercon ends. Take sunset helicopter ride to see the Grand Canyon. Maybe gamble afterwords although probably not. Monday Check out of hotel Catch afternoon flight home Arrive home late evening. I'm hoping Wifi will be available, but if not I'll find some other way to check in. Current Mood:  bouncy |

tonight's episode of Smallville
I don't know if this is a regular thing or not, but tonight's episode of Smallville used Torchwood's scene-change sound. The sound I mean is the one that's vaguely like the whine of an insect, sort of like "wheeeeeaaaah". It was terribly annoying. Hey Smallville! Get your own scene-change sound. Other than that, I thought the episode was ok, except Lex surviving a bullet to his head, long enough for the rest of the episode to work. On the other hand I got used to that sort of thing watching Alias. |

Construction outside my place...again
Another day, another construction job appearing outside my place. This appears to have something to do with water and/or sewer systems. The construction workers outside sure are using a lot of profanity. I'm guessing the job whatever it is, isn't going so well. Ah well, at least they're not drilling/using the jackhammer as much as previous jobs. Current Mood: annoyed |

"...but outside it's so delightful"
Weather outside is a gorgeous 60+ °F with just the right amount of humidity for me. It's humid enough that it doesn't dry me out, but not enough to make me uncomfortable. Anyone who doesn't get outside for at least a few minutes today should be ashamed of themselves (or have a really good excuse. :) |
