Google Reader it is. Thanks for the advice, everyone. I already have the Google toolbar, so this makes it easy, and all the blogs I love to read are there. It’s made my blog reading so much quicker now that I don’t have to go to my own blog and click on all the links in my blogroll. There are only 3 blogs (indicated in my blogroll by a *) that don’t have feeds (Mist1, I’m talking to you!) so I still need to remember to come here and actually read them the old-fashioned way.

I’m still contemplating a complete move over to Google, including my main email address. That will take a bit more time to think over, because I’ve had my current email for about 8 years now, so old habits die hard. Like I said, still looking into that.

Last night Boyfriend and a bunch of our friends went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I’ve seen the movie, but never seen it live, so it was quite the experience. It wasn’t at all what I expected, either. The crowd was way rowdier than I thought they’d be, and since the venue doesn’t allow the audience to bring in props, they sell their own weenie-bag of props for $1. The bag included a piece of newspaper, a few sheets of toilet paper, 3 playing cards, a party hat and noisemaker. No toast, no rice, no squirtguns, none of the good stuff.

The rest of this week has been fairly uneventful. The remodel continues in my department at work, though my cube is done and I have settled in. The heat continues to wear me down, even though I don’t spend much time in it. Twice this week I’ve come home from work and taken very long naps. That totally screws up my routine, so I can’t do that anymore. Ah, and yes, I’m sure you want an update on the whole leaky sink issue. The sink is fixed and doesn’t leak, even though the ill-fitting drain assembly looks like shit. The cabinet, on the other hand - well, the cabinet directly under the sink was “fixed” by maintenance laying down a new layer of thin parquet to cover up the damage. It’s still warped, and the mold is still there, just covered up. Absolutely no attention was taken with the cabinet directly next to the sink that was also affected, so this is still unusable. We’re gonna go talk to them to see what they want to do about this. Should I mention that we’ve both been feeling a bit stuffy and congested the past few days?

So that’s about that for now. Today we’ll try to see the new Harry Potter movie with some friends. I’m not that huge a Potter fan, I’ve never read a single one of the books, but I’ve seen the movies thus far, thanks to my wonderful Boyfriend. So that’s the goal for today: Harry Potter, don’t forget to eat due to our lazy asses around the house this afternoon or our busy schedules later, and try to get to bed at a halfway decent hour so we don’t start the week in a major sleep deprived state.
