Last night was a VERY slow night in the lab. Not only did we have an unprecedented THREE techs and ONE intake person (all together on the same shift - SHOCKING!), we also had a seemingly empty hospital. I had discovered http://www.hulu.com/ awhile ago, as well as http://www.southparkstudios.com/ , and have been watching episodes of the Simpsons and South Park during slow times. Last night I dug into the movie section of Hulu, and although they don't have a whole lot of great full-length movies that I haven't seen before, I did get a chance to see both "Some Like It Hot" and "Moonstruck".
The former sucked because they made Marilyn Monroe out to be a total bimbo and designed ridiculous outfits for her to wear. The latter was a little stupid, but Nicolas Cage's determination and aggressive behavior was exciting. And there were bits that were so ridiculous that I had a couple good laughs. Anyway, I think I'm going to have to start bringing DVDs and popcorn to work on nights that we have three people.
So my BM is off with his family on a diving trip for the next week, and I do miss him like crazy. But I guess if I have the right to disappear from the country for a week, so does he. That means this weekend I get one last set of days to set the house to rights before my housemates come up. There's still a lot of work to be done, and a major part of that involves getting more storage. I wish I had a truck sometimes so that I could pick up large objects and take them home whenever I liked.
I got my lawn finished/mostly mowed (there's a few tiny scraggly patches here and there), but I also got an unpleasant surprise this morning - a dead mouse in my front lawn. I ran over the thing with my lawnmower, but it didn't break open the corpse. Instead, I had the pleasure of trying to finish mowing my lawn around said mouse, and getting a look at its wide-open mouth. I'm guessing that my neighbors killed one in a trap and then threw it in my lawn. Asshats. I was tempted to pick it up and drop it on their doorstep, but if I were wrong then I would just start some kind of epic nasty battle that I don't want. Instead, I'm going to leave the thing in my front lawn and hope something else runs off with it. A vulture, maybe? I don't care. I'm not picking that damn thing up.
Tomorrow there's supposed to be a subdivision-wide yard sale. If the neighbors are up and outdoors, I'm totally going to confront them on the mouse thing.

Have you met your neighbors yet? Maybe you should just bring up the fact that GASP! there was a dead mouse in your yard - how gross is that!?! I mean, it could have been carried to your yard from else where...? Hopefully if it was a neighbor, they'll get it that you noticed and were displeased.
movies? SWEET!
