Azkaban

Spent the 4th with Josh's family since they are here. We attempted to go look at the many shops around, but ironically they closed early for the holiday. We did get to see a pretty nice fireworks show though. Later that night I had a good time playing Lord of the Rings Conquest with Josh and his brother well until after 3 a.m.

This morning his family headed back home. I did some grocery shopping and started browsing slip covers for the couches we just got. The ones I found cost more than the couches did themselves, lol, so I'm going to look on ebay or something when I get around to it.

I told Josh I'd make him come with me to see Harry Potter 6 when it comes out. He had only seen the first 2 movies, so now I am catching him up with 3, 4, and 5. I'm happy that he is willing to watch them with me even though I'm not sure if he wanted to at first. We watched The Prizoner of Azkaban tonight, one of my favs. (Ok, they all are, lol). He followed along very well and was making astute observations of foreshadowing. The sixth movie is going to be awesome, it's just the story is so sad... I really do like the story, I've read all 7 of the books. I don't even consider it a kids story anymore, the way the books get so dark in the end.

Thinking of trying to go to bed early so I can get up early and maybe do some running. That'll get the blood flowing so maybe I'll be a bit more alive during the day at work.

nite

thunderstorm

There was a huge thunderstorm in the middle of the night last night, woke me up. It was probably the biggest one I've heard in quite a long time. I commented about it to Josh on the way to work today and he said he didn't even know there was one! Haha, I don't know how he slept right through it. It also rained so much, I was afraid there was gonna be a flood.

Got out of work real early because of the long 4th of July weekend. Too bad I don't get paid holidays yet :( Went to the DMV to get a CT liscence but they closed early too...

I saw an ad a resident put up in the laundry room for a couch and a matching love seat last night. The add said ~$150 for both but when we showed up to look at them he offered to give them to us for $75! What a steal, and now we have furniture for the apartment! Although carrying the couches a quarter mile to our apartment was a bitch, lol. I couldn't pick up a pillow when we were done, no joke.

Josh's mom and brother are here for the holiday weekend. We ordered pizza for the first time since we moved in and now they're playing Ghostbusters on the Wii in his room while I'm playing Final Fantasy XI on my Xbox in my room. Doing BCNM's at the moment.
