Feb. 16th, 2006 09:40 amI got Wonderfalls disc 1 yesterday, but I'm not really in the mood to start a new series, so it's going back in the mail today, then back on the queue near the bottom with its sisters, discs 2 and 3. I'm not sure why I added Wonderfalls to the queue in the first place, whether it was a rec. from Netflix, or from a person. But, back it goes, unwatched, and I shall soon be receiving The Great Muppet Caper. Ah, Miss Piggy riding a motorcycle through a stained-glass window. Such are the memories of childhood.
And it looks like we may be making our way up north in April. My grandmother's turning 85 and throwing herself a party. My father e-mailed to tell us about it, and the way it was worded sort of gave us no doubt that we were EXPECTED to be there. We'll have to juggle some finances and some schedules, but it's looking like we can do it. And, since we can't make the trip up north without visiting aaaaalllll the other friends and family up there, we're going to be on a very tight timetable. I can only afford six days off from work: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of one week, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of the next week. I don't get any paid time off until I've been there a year, and even then, it'll only be 8 hours (one shift), so this'll be a squeeze.
Lots of driving. I think I saw a portable DVD player on sale somewhere for like $40, and I'm half-tempted to invest in it for the trip. If only I could read in the car without getting motion sick!
