Busy!

Busy today. Busy busy busy. But that’s fine.

The driver’s side window in the van went down Saturday night and refused to come back up. Crap. Should be covered under our extended warranty, though with the $200 deductible, well, looks like I’ll just be footing the bill for this repair after all.

And you know, they called and said it’s just a shorted-out switch. I looked at that switch for a while, going so far as to grab a screwdriver and think about opening it up. But one’s gotta watch what one does in order to avoid screwing up the warranty, right?

Rented a couple movies over the weekend. Napoleon Dynamite was… well, unique, and funny and DUMB. Is that a recommendation? I don’t know. I laughed out loud a number of times, and I’m always glad to see a movie that’s creative and not afraid to do its own thing.

But… exactly WHAT this movie’s “own thing” was… well, that befuddles me a bit.

Supersize Me was everything I expected: Amusing, informative, frightening… And Toland’s right: The stuff about the school lunches was possibly the most eye-opening.

Ah… a coworker from downstairs just came to verify something I’d scheduled… and he’s got himself a potential problem. Reeks of alcohol, right through his pores. It’s a hardcore, sickly sweet smell you don’t get from just any drinker.

Busy I say! Books! Van! Kids!

But it beats doing nothing…
