In our new house, we have 2 smoke detectors and 2 smoke/CO detectors. As of this morning, all 4 have now gone off. Hooray?

We're thisclose to being all done with moving in. Last night we hung a bunch more of the paintings, and did a lot of laundry, and all that's left are to pack up the box of give-away stuff, unload the boxes of pillows, and get the laundry baskets full of clothes in order. Then it will be time to decorate in preparation for our Halloween/housewarming party on Saturday night. Yay!

I am having major problems with my left eye. Yesterday it was kind of scratchy on the train ride in to work, and by the time I got here it was in full-on allergy rage mode. I spent all yesterday with my eye puffy and red. Gross. Today I'm wearing my glasses in the hopes that taking a break from the contacts will help my eye recover. That said, my eye is still scratchy. No good.

Yesterday when we got home from work, I discovered that my cat had been trapped in the spare room closet all day. Poor kitty! I am a bad pet owner.

This weekend was good. On Saturday I went downtown to meet with Jenni, and we took a cab up to 1492 for deeablo's birthday dinner. xica_s and angelchicken were also there, and Jenni's husband Steve showed up as well. Dinner was way tasty. Then AC and xica left, so the four of us went over to Piece for Live Band Karaoke. deeablo rocked on "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," including the solo singing bit. I was too much of a wuss to sing. Jenni wanted to sing, but they never called her. fava_bean wanted to join us, but the bar wouldn't let her in. Whatever!

Sunday I went to fava_bean's for movies. It was her, me, her coworker Ann, the Scientist's and my friend Cush, fava's friend Lucky, mei_x, gingrale, and fava's new neighbor Ralph. I spent most of the time sewing my Halloween costume. But now it is done, hooray! It was nice to hang out with everyone. Good times.

Heroes is finally starting to get good again. I am pleased. Maybe it's the lack of the Juander Twins, or the lack of Claire and her crazy-eyed boyfriend. Matt & Mohinder continue to bicker like an old married couple, and I love that. And the Petrellis are finally back in the spotlight, too.

I missed the first bit of HIMYM last night, but the crazy/hot scale did amuse me. As did "deaf" Ted. Honestly, this whole show amuses me. Oh, Barney, how I love you.

I was laughing so hard at the "How Marshall Met Barney" bit that Adrian came to see what was so funny. And the World of Warcraft bit kinda killed me.

I'm also starting to really like Big Bang Theory and I'm totally shocked that it's been picked up for the whole season.

I think it was the WoW punchline that made me LOL.

And I am typing like a tween. "IDK, my BFF Rose?" (Man, I hate those commercials. Or should I say h8?)

I've watched The Big Bang Theory a few times, but it's harder to watch with the Scientist, because he IS a scientist, and sometimes he'll start explaining how some of these things the characters do actually are plausible. But he's enjoyed what he's seen (I think), so that should be a good sign. If it weren't on after HIMYM, I probably wouldn't tune in, but as it is the show is a pleasant diversion.

Adrian finds it a LOT funnier than I do. He started cracking up at last night's episode when Sheldon called Leonard to acknowledge the tie on the door and Adrian was CRACKING UP saying "he sent him an acknowledgement packet! HAR HAR HAR!" and he gets more of the logic-based jokes (it's totally how he thinks). Makes it a fun show to watch together, though.

At least you know they work!

Yes. But the one this morning is super-old, and made a loud grinding noise instead of some kind of piercing alarm. It scared the hell out of me. In order to turn it off, I had to rip it down from the ceiling. Of course, it's one of those alarms that has wiring up into the ceiling, so it left a big hole and now the alarm is hanging in the center of the hall. I have no idea how to disconnect it, or how to be rid of it.

Stupid.
