Friday: it's the last day of my weekend. I got out the house again to drop off the comforter to be cleaned by the dry cleaners on the corner. Afterwards, I was going to drive to Blaze Pizza, but I was momentarily trapped by the construction crew that had blocked my street. It was only a wait of ten minutes or so. At Blaze Pizza, they've done away with parts of their menu such that I couldn't remember the type of pizzas I'd ordered in Wichita, so I got a margherita instead. This proved to be a mistake: while I like thin-crust pizzas, the margherita's characteristics are a poor match for this crust type. It was also really redundant to order a Caesar side salad when I'd just had a similar salad the night before. It was also freezing in the seating area, so I didn't stick around any longer than I had to.
After lunch, I had a long talk with David on the phone, after which I hit up PetSmart to get new scratching platforms for the cats, as the ones they've got now are falling apart. By the time I got home, the construction had finished for the day, so I was able to park back on the cross street, where I won't need to move for another week. I made my orzo for dinner, but I didn't get much done around the house, so that's got to be my priority after work tomorrow. I did at least finally start the Yo-Kai Watch event in FFXIV.
Wednesday: I've been waking up with Koop under my arm the last couple of days, so I've been getting up later and taking my shower/getting dressed on my first break from work. Calls are improving, but nowhere close to what I want to see.
Phil came over to watch the new season of I Think You Should Leave with Julie. I caught the new episodes after my shift ended while eating more of Friday's leftovers. I still can't stomach the secondhand embarrassment, but I'm curious to see whether any of the sketches from this season provide as much lasting amusement to Julie and Phil as the Tables sketch did.
After finishing the six new episodes, I played more Zelda, mostly focusing on the Dueling Peaks stables and the area around (and under) the mountains. Afterwards I saw that Reddit is going to charge fees for API access, meaning that the RIF Is Fun app I've been using for years to access that site will probably stop working July 1. That left a bad taste in my mouth, and not knowing how else to deal with it, I played a few games of Hearthstone as the Audiopocalypse update went live today.

Tuesday: our A/C went out over the weekend. Today, our closet doors had swollen from the heat such that they couldn't be moved.

Five tweets from Julie today. She laments the state of sports reporting on ESPN (too much basketball, not enough hockey, and the commentary is weak). This must have been when Dr. Tiller was murdered, as that topic takes over for the rest of the day. She also had a big LJ update in the morning, which I'm just going to copy + paste in its entirety, typos and all:
I officially will be staying in Wichita for the next year as none of the doctoral programs accepted me. Out of all of us, Evan was the only one who actually got into a program and he was accepted into 1 out of 8 - the rest of us had no such luck. Part of it is the economy - actually it's probably a larger part than any of us realize - as school's cannot afford to take on more doctoral students and especially can't afford to fully fund them. I'm thinking about how I want to proceed from here. I really hate to go through the application process all over again and spend all that money when there could be nothing to show for it. I guess I don't have much choice.
We have reverted to a one cat apartment quite easily. At first Jason and I couldn't even remember what it was like before Gus bounded into our lives. Angel went back to her old self almost immediately. She clearly doesn't miss him, which doesn't surprise me at all. We have decided to let her get used to being the only cat and then get another kitty. We have to keep her on her toes. I want another cat for my birthday.
Tomorrow officially starts my two months of hell. Two full time jobs, hurrah! I will be TAing in the anatomy lab all morning and then working at the store from about 3-10. It will be stressful and not terribly relaxing, but the money at the end of all of this will be worth it and helpful as my loan repayments start in July, ugh. Plus I get to spend more time dissecting cadavers. Kristen and I are working on one male and one female. The differences between the two are astounding really. The male has such GORGEOUS muscles that nice and red and clearly defined from the fat. Her muscles, on the other hand, are basically the same color as her fat. She is definitely more tricky to work on. Her back already is kind of mangled as the superficial back muscles on her one side are completely gone. Oops. I am still looking forward to this and we get to do every dissection whereas in the class we only did half of them. And I get to show up to work afterwards with the smell of death in my hair. :)
I realistically won't have time to properly update this so the twitter updates will predominate. Even those may be sporadic as my time will be pretty crunched. I will even be working both Saturday and Sunday. Joy.
Jason and I celebrated our last day of both of us being off from work by going to zoo and seeing the new tiger exhibit. It was quite nice and I was more impressed by that than the penguin one two years ago. The gorillas were striking all kinds of poses and being very playful. They were the most active I had seen them be in all the times I'd been there. We got there as soon as the zoo opened to help avoid the crowds and the heat, so that was probably part of it. It was also nice going with Jason since we had never gone together at that point. After we had lunch at Red Lobster since I had a coupon and then we were pretty exhausted from all the walking and stuffing our faces that we napped. It was glorious. We went grocery shopping, he made dinner and then watched Wall-E (which I admit, it was cute but still kind of depressing) and played cards.
While playing pool Friday night I went into a zone where I sunk every ball I went after. From that point on I was terrible once again. Pool is such a tease.
