Yay! I just bought my tickets to the midnight premiere. 😎

That is seriously one of the things I miss most from before having Chicklet. My mom seriously needs to baby proof a bedroom so she can take her the kiddo for the night again. She hasn't taken her in well over a year, I think, probably more like 2. *Twitch*

 

[Longshanks]

I bought a set of Netter's flash cards today...

😎😳🙁

Gunners gunna gun 🙄

(to keep this ball rolling for tiger, rrrrrrrrr)

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

I kinda want to buy my copy of Netters (and maybe flashcards, seems like a good idea), but I've decided I'm gonna wait until I move. I figure the fewer things I have to schlep cross-country, the better.

So you doing some pre-studying there Mr. Naylor? 😉

I'm with you there! I have like 4 boxes of stuff so far, each about 40 lbs. One of those boxes is full of winter clothes/nightwear lol. I feel bad for the postal workers that will be dealing with those boxes! I don't even want to know how much my luggage will weigh...🙁

Haha, this "studying" will likely consist of haphazardly looking at the note card while paying more attention to Sportscenter. Although I feel like these cards might be a good way to pass the time on the treadmill...

Hey man. I'm no gunner, but if the professor recommend familiarizing yourself with the content in order to do better, I'll at least give it a whirl.

Ok, so the last place I looked at during today's apartment hunt was probably waaay more awesomer than anyone not actually pulling in an income has a right to live in. It has an outdoor patio. Like, a real bona fide patio. Suitable for barbeques and other fun things. And a beautiful, private inner courtyard shared with the adjoining units in the property.

I was like MUST GET. But we (my roommates and I) might get beat to the punch. And then we'd probably have to settle for the more reasonable (but not as awesome, and a more significant downgrade from my current standard of living) apartment. I would has a sad. *sigh*

so why not jump on it?

 

[mauberley]

We are. But since I was the only one (of the three of us who would actually be living in the place--at ~100 miles, I'm the closest of us) that actually got to see the place (I took some pics but I should have taken more--both of this one and the other less awesome place), we had to do some discussin' before we got the ball rolling. Supposably there's another couple who also saw the place and is interested, so it depends on who gets in the forms first.

Side note: some people live like utter slobs. ugh.

Problems with inner courtyards: people tend to party in them, and the courtyard functions as a noise trap/amplifier.

True, but this property is not occupied by riffraff. 😉

Now that I've slept on it a bit, I'm having indecision paralysis. Argh.

 

[FlowRate]

I'm on the waitlist for the dorms at my school... I wish the waiting was over darnit. 300 sq ft. studio apartments near campus are SUPER expensive (minimum $900/mo, more likely $1100+) 🙁

 

[Geekchick921]

!!!!!!!!!!! $3/square foot?!

I took the hubster to a nice brunch today with the three of us. It was awesome... and I had a mimosa. 😳

Welcome to Boston. 😛 Also: alky!

Flow, consider getting a roommate.

Trio, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you for saying lbs instead of kg

You rebel you.

One of my sister's ex-bosses went from OB to OB until she found one that said she could drink a glass of wine a day. But really, who can say no to mimosas?

 

[Geekchick921]

That's the first drink I've had in 5 months and probably the last I'll have for 3 1/2 more. It was included with brunch, too, and it was small.

If you posted about it on your mommy forums, would it start a sh*tstorm of derp?

 

[Geekchick921]

Heeheehee... Depends on which forum (the first trimester board is FULL of derp), but generally, no.

 

[oaa]

is it true that in boston, people get run over a lot?

Someone (cough cough, Goldenwest) was going to go troll that forum with me, but we forgot. Are you in?

Speaking of people that have come and gone:

Where the heck is Pons?

I also feel sad that MZ and Torr are not around.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

What happened to medz?

 

[glasshalfMD]

The class of 2018 thread is epic.

 

[mauberley]

What happened to medz?

He hasn't left entirely, but he doesn't hang out with us '15ers. 🙁

 

[juliedi]

We're falling off the page! Bump!

Is it bad that I'm stoked for the summer solstice because that's when the Ikea Summer Sale always starts?

IKEA has a summer sale? I just went there yesterday to look at stuff. Now I might have to wait to make purchases...

 

[mauberley]

Not at all. Ikea's kind of awesome.

Nick, when are you going to be settled in Chi-town?

 

[juliedi]

Haha that sounds completely normal to me! I <3 Ikea.

Summer Solstice!! It's party time mutha----!!!!

 

[NickNaylor]

Nick, when are you going to be settled in Chi-town?

I'm moving in on August 2nd and orientation starts August 4th. So I don't know if I'd consider myself being settled in on the 2nd, but I'll be there.

You only have to wait til Tuesday, I think.

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

i need a new desk. i don't want to spend a lot of money on it.

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

Woo! I hope they have one indeed, because then I gets to buy all my ****z on the first of July..hopefully there's some sort of Independence Day weekend sale? Either for Canada Day or Fourth of July!

Lol, my brother called me a sissy today and told me that I either need to hire furniture assemblers for my bedroom of Ikea ****, or man up, get power tools, and put my **** together over the course of six weeks (because it'll take me that long)! He's probably right, considering I've never put anything together before...

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

I had to print this out in order to figure out what I need to buy at Ikea when I go there in a few weeks! I don't actually "know" what I need, and will likely forget to buy "essentials"...like certain cookware items, like a spatula lol.

 

[Geekchick921]

Craigslist? I actually saw some decent looking ones at Walmart, FWIW. I think cheap-o furniture is generally fine if it doesn't have any moving parts/get moved a lot.

real men have redwoods in their pants

 

[Geekchick921]

Is redwood considered a hardwood? That is vital to this conversation.

 

[courtnes]

How did I not know this Ikea sale existed? The boy and I want to purchase new couches there, and cheaper would be great since this is some of the more permanent Ikea stuff.

i know how hard my redwood is


seriously, i am destined for surgery.

They advertise the Ikea summer sale on the radio here, but I think they only start ads once the sale starts. Not everything is on sale, but you can usually find some pretty cool things marked down.

All I can think of now is Quinlan on Scrubs. Blech.

Just get engaged before med school, that way you can register for all that crap! That's what I did. 😀

LOL! That's smart, but I doubt my roommate would go for that haha! That being said, thank goodness for that list, or I will definitely forget SOMETHING.

words with friends is such bull****.

For the past few days, if I can't think of a word, I simply put in whatever combination of letters both looks vaguely word-like and gives me the highest score...and most of the time the game accepts it as a word.

Winning strategy.

That must be Daisy's winning strategy. 😉
