I don't wanna grow up
Grrr. Just... grrr. Our internet sucks. Mom says, "It hasn't gone out all summer!" Well, since I got home, it's been out twice, and for extended amounts of time. Today we had a power blip, and out it went. Turns out it has something to do with the router, because if we directly hook up the computer to the cable modem, it works. But the network does not. So, that must be looked into tomorrow. That also means four of us are fighting over the downstairs computer. Grrr.
Today I went to the eye doctor's, got new contacts (which is wonderful... do it while I'm still on my dad's insurance), and went to dinner with my mom at Heng Wing. Had never actually eaten there, so that was cool. We shared orange chicken and chicken satay (?... some kind of peanut sauce, anyway). Yum.
I then spent the next few hours, after the couple hours on the phone with the internet help line, researching apartments. Dad is coming up with a sort of cost of living estimate for me, and it's my job to find out what apartments typically cost wherever I'm looking to live. The lowdown on that is that, so far, Orlando looks to be about half as much as living in either the Chicago or New York City areas. The nice thing about Chicago would be living at home first to save up some money... but I don't know. I guess it depends on where the jobs are. Everything, short of living at home, is too expensive if I don't have any source of income. <.g>
In other news, I cleaned up my sidebar a little. It took me an impossibly long time to get that little picture button thingy done. If I get motivated again, I plan on making them for the other two bands. We'll see. =)
