More sweltering

Ok, I've been sitting here for about 3 hours now. I had to call about the DSL thingie and am still waiting for the Direct TV tech. AT&T has to send a DSL tech here Monday, so I get to wait around again. I actually would like the Internet more than the need to watch reruns of Chopped and The Naked Archeologist because yours truly needs a new job. It's all right. It's not like I really have all that much to do here not to mention the fact that it's 100 degrees outside.

I found out that this supermarket called Tom Thumb is really Safeway. That wins points with me. I used to shop at the Safeway in Menlo Park. It was a well-known dating place although dating in silicon valley is sort of an oxymoron. I got some of those steam-in-the-bag veggies that were on sale, but as I was dozing off last night, I realized that I don't have a microwave! I guess I'll go Old School and use a sauce pan.

Sweltering

I can't believe how hot it's been here in Dallas. I can only walk Mr. Rocky about 500 feet before he fizzles out. I wish this apartment had hardwood floors. The kitchen and bathroom has that faux stuff which is good, but the living room, sunroom and bedroom has the usual beige commercial carpet. I guess I should've been more selective than settling on the first non-sucky place.

I've driven all over the place but stayed faraway from Ft. Worth and Dallas because I don't know where the hell I am. Euless is next to Ft. Worth, Arlington and Bedford and Grapevine. I only know Grapevine because that's where the coffee house! Jimmy and I saw the Transformers movie in Grapevine last night. I saw that they also had one of those faux town squares that always has a Cheesecake Factory, Barnes & Noble and Apple Store. The movie theater was there and was one of the better Big Theaters. Stupid movie, cool sound system and screen.

The Direct TV person is supposed to stop by tomorrow morning. I have to get one of those tripod dishes since I don't have a balcony. I have a sunroom! I have to call AT&T and see where my DSL is. I never ever get this kind of stuff setup/enabled on time.

I have to register my car, change my car insurance, and see if I should join a different gym. Ballys keeps going up and the closest location to me is in Arlington. Arlington is scary. It's like a really big Parma, Ohio.
