Waking up somewhere else...

Ok so its not as bad as it sounds. But I've been thinking that I wish I could just wake up and all the paperwork/packing/apartment hunting/moving deal would magically be done and I would be somewhere else. Today was especially hard for some reason. It should be exciting. We've got a lead on a great place (thanks to Tasha and Matt) and that should put me in the jumping up and down spirit, but for some reason it is just hard to deal with the whole thing. The place isn't on the TAMU shuttle system meaning we have to buy a parking pass to get to work on. Which brings to my mind the whole one car issue. John and I are two people (if you haven't realized already) and we don't always work on the same schedule. I mean we work hard and long hours usually but sometimes one of us is done and goes home while the other is at work. Meaning late nights the person at work gets the car meaning the other person is now stuck at home instead of having the extra car to get around. Like today for instance, John is at work. I'm at home without vehicle. Now there isn't really any place I need to go today but what if I did. I know it seems stupid but I hate feeling like I am stuck some place. The benefit of being on the shuttle service meant that we didn't need a parking pass and because the shuttles run late (like after 11 pm), it wouldn't be a big deal if I went home and took the car around somewhere else because John could still get home by shuttle. I'm not exactly sure why this is such a big deal to me but it is and I can't deny it that's for sure. I just hope it all works out. We need a place to stay and if this is the best then we should probably take it. Period.

By the way, Andy (of Wendy and Andy) told us about Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog by Joss Whedon (http://drhorrible.com/). It is pretty awesome. It doesn't hurt that Neil Patrick Harris is in it (who I had a super crush on in the Doogie Howser, MD days) but Joss Whedon is just too cool. I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Serenity. I just want the man to succeed because his stuff is just too cool for me and I keep wanting to see more from him. So check it out. If you can't get it free anymore, pay the 3.99 and buy it off iTunes. It's worth it.

Also I am religiously visiting postsecret.com lately. Every Sunday, more postcards are posted and I seem to just have to look. I don't know what it is about seeing someone else's secrets to make you put your own in perspective. I mean some are funny, others just sad and then some just give me a smack in the face about my own fears and problems. I haven't sent one in (yet) but the big thing is I probably should rid myself of some of my own secrets and stop hiding them whether I send them to postsecret or just realize they aren't that important anyway.

Since I've already given two sites I'm into right now might as well list some others. I've been using www.pandora.com alot lately. My Dave Matthews Band playlist is growing little by little. And finally, I'm visiting http://icanhascheezburger.com/ regularly as well. For some reason the more I see of them, the funnier they get. I mean I know they are dumb but I just can't help laughing. I guess the PhD classiness hasn't started up yet. I think I'll probably still watch my terrible television (Project Runway started up again and there is still American Gladiators to watch and then there is always the rerun of Girls Next Door) and be proud to enjoy it. Who says a PhD can't have a little fun? :)
