Last night, around 6 or so, I started cooking our unhealthy meal of Hamburger Helper. It was all we had and we’re leaving in 4 days; cut me some slack. Soon after we were done, Ash proposed an idea. We needed to go to Home Depot to procure a gift card for our neighbours (they’re not your ordinary neighbours) and he suggested we also swing by Best Buy, purchase season 8 of Friends and proceed to watch said season.

*Backstory* – years ago, when we lived with Steve and Chris at Woodgate, we all really got into Friends. We bought each season DVD collection and watched them, well, as quickly as we could. And then we watched them again and again.  But we only bought up through season 7. It was on tv in reruns so much that I think we all got a little tired of it and it dropped out of our viewing rotation. (Note: I barely watch TV anymore anyway).

So Ash and I decided to watch Friends in bed, since we have a 32 inch LCD in the bedroom which pretty much is only used for late night tv-to-fall-asleep-to and Xbox. It was nice to lay in bed at 7:45 at night and veg out. I fell asleep around 11 and had weird dreams that I was playing a real-life board game in which I fell into a vat of blind sharks shortly after failing to slay a pirate. WEIRD.

So today, I cannot leave early. Grades must be posted by all graduate assistants and professors by 4 PM, which pretty much means I have to be here up until that time. Ugh. I have a sinking feeling that two grad assistants will not post on time. One has already left town and his email keeps getting rejected and the other, well, I can imagine her coming in on Friday whining about how something kept her from doing it and oh, whatever will she do, etc etc etc… This will not be good…
