Movies, crises

Firstly, I bought a good/new tape recorder/player on Ebay for pretty cheap. I'm gonna try to sell my digital one, which is so argh because I'm gonna lose so much money on it. I'm gonna try to post for sale ads in the Medill (NU School of Journalism) buildings, since it's really a voice recorder and not a music recorder.

Secondly, we found an apartment and will sign lease soon. Yay... I pretty much found out there are mid-rise buildings (7-story) on the 800th block of Hinman Ave, so I drove over there to check 'em out. Ended up walking in one building, looked at the available apts, got my husband to look after work, submitted application the next day, and I am loving our future apartment so far.

This weekend we saw Little Miss Sunshine, which my husband loved and says best movie of the year so far. I liked it but don't feel strongly about it. Actually some parts made me sad, even though it's not a sad movie at all, I'm just messed up. But I liked Steve Carell best.... On Saturday, while doing my work of cutting and folding (total bummer: I had to buy a roll of over-priced paper and cut 110 squares, when they sell the pre-cut squares for MUCH cheaper online, but I couldn't wait for shipping), I put in A Very Long Engagement, and has anyone seen this? I love it, but even though I've seen it 3 times, I can't get the characters straight... and the music is so saaaad... and the seaside-lighthouse-tuba parts are saaad... see it.

And I am having a crisis about booking plane tickets home, which will end tomorrow will lots of dollars.

And I am having a crisis about a large order... due to various payment-related complications... I am waiting for a check... and I HATE waiting for transactions... and people who are sending me money who don't return emails promptly... because I'm a control freak.
