Redundance

Without asking, or even telling us, Brian brought home a giant entertainment center from his parents' house. It isn't going to fit in our living room, at least not without a LOT of moving things around that Ross and I don't have time for, and that one person can't do alone, and the displacement of stuff that there is just no other place for. So I'm pretty annoyed because it's super rude to do something like that without consulting the other people you live with. I got even madder because he just stood around when he saw that it wouldn't fit and said, "haha I guess it is kind of big, I guess I shouldn't have just said yes without thinking". You think?

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but we don't need an entertainment center, and there is already a ton of junk lying around this apartment that hasn't been put away, and we moved in March. There are tons of boxes that need to be broken down and taken out, and they are mostly his boxes. Ross and I have already done ours, the week after we moved in. Even if I did want to help him break them down, I can't drive them to a box dump, since we can't throw them in our trash, so I'm not much help there. I shouldn't have to help anyway, they aren't my boxes. They need to go. Also he leaves messes in places, doesn't do the dishes very often unless they've sat there for a while, and doesn't really take turns cleaning off the counter and sweeping. I've tried to drop hints politely, but there's really not too much else to do besides come out and say it. I don't want to start an argument or get him mad or anything, so I don't know.

So for now, I guess the entertainment center is just going to sit by the boxes until someone (not me) feels like moving it. Maybe I'll just start bringing home random crap and leaving it in the main area. No, I hate looking at clutter so I wouldn't do that.

In better things that happened today, I got a new computer. Actually, Ross got it for me from Newegg, using a Preferred Account which he signed up for. It has no interest for six months so I need to mostly pay it down by then. It was pretty cheap, only $740 and then I got a Microsoft Office 2007 for $129. I'm going to use it as my school/writing computer until this one dies, and this one for watching things and playing games. It's too bad though, that one has 200 GB hard drive so I could just throw everything on there, but I love this computer and I would miss it. It's still got plenty of life left (minus the battery which is going quick) and I like using it. The screen is really big and nice, too. I didn't really need need a new computer, but I wanted one that I could carry around easily for when I start school. This one is a little big, and it's been bumped into things a couple of times so I don't want to put undue stress on it by carting it around. This one is a little lighter and smaller so it'll be easier to take with me. Also, it's a VAIO. I've wanted one of those forever. It's white, too, I like that because I am sick of black computers. I like bright ones.

I got to see my kitty today, too, I rode my bike down to Shanelle's apartments, which was a feat since it was super windy and cold. Washington weather is dumb. I miss my 93 degree springs. Oh well. Anyway, kitty is good and happy and not fighting the other kitty, so yay.
