So...
I shouldn't have called Old Man Winter out like that in my last post.
Because I just had to kill a wasp in my room.
In February.
That is not my idea of spring.
That is karma biting me in the ass.
(But still, fuck winter. And wasps.)

Straight Guys Love Disney: Fact.
I may or may not have experienced one of the most hilarious things in the world last night.
I get a text message from one of the guys I live with and all it says is "Lion King"
And I'm confused. What about it?
Well he and three other guys were about to watch it downstairs and I guess I'm special enough to get this prestigious invite.
Now, I love me some Lion King so I hauled it down two flights of stairs.
Just in time to hear the loudest rendition of Circle of Life I had ever heard.
By four straight guys.
I couldn't even sing along with them I was laughing so hard. They knew all the words to every song and were even enraged when they found out that the movie was a special edition and that there were a couple of extra songs in there that just didn't belong.
It was probably the gayest thing I've ever seen, but it was hysterical.
Luckily I was able to hold it together to sing along to the rest of it with them. I believe our next Disney movie night will be the old animated Alice in Wonderland before we all inevitably go out together to see the new Tim Burton movie.
Also, I got them to admit that no animated Disney movies are chick flicks. They have the same love for The Little Mermaid that they have for Lion King. According to them, Disney princesses or no, its all good.
You all heard it.
Document it and tell your man.
And then sit yourself down with some good Disney movies.

Haus.
So, I finally got myself a new laptop.
My old one is in getting fixed right now (under warranty/fo' free) for the same part that has crapped out on me for the 3rd time already.
I'll use that one as back-up when its done getting fixed, but I decided that since I had money saved it would be better for me to have a laptop that I could rely on.
You know, one that can run more than one application at once and doesn't take 20 minutes to tell my printer to print a 3 page paper.
I looove it. Its a 13" macbook pro.
Of course, I'm still kind of reeling from all the money I spent.
Ughhhh.
So anyway.
Since I'm awake and bored I've decided to list all the current problems with the house that I live in. Enjoy. I sure do.
1. One toilet in the girl's bathroom won't flush. The chain is broken.
2. The other toilet in the girl's bathroom leaks (from the tank, thank god).
3. One of the showers in the girl's bathroom won't drain properly, so it's like taking a shower ankle-deep in shower water.
4. One of the sinks in the girl's bathroom doesn't have hot water. Another doesn't have cold. One... actually has both.
5. You can't run more than one washer at once down in the laundry room or the whole thing floods. This has happened 3 times in the past two days. (but it smells good)
6. There are still squirrels in my ceiling.
7. One is dead and smells. (though I feel that it must be "drying up" because I don't notice it as much anymore. Part of that could also be my glade plug in that is on full blast)
8. All the windows in the house are so old that they let a ton of cold air in. (if its windy and my window is closed, my curtains will still blow)
9. Because of #8 my room feels like Antarctica.
10. The kitchen smells and the refrigerator has broken twice this year. Still waiting for the first breakdown of the semester.
11. We need a new roof. Badly.
12. I'd like some insulation above my room so that my ceiling doesn't radiate cold and squirrels don't get into it and die and smell making it radiate cold and dead animal smell.
13. The floors creak. Everywhere. I can hear EVERY MOVE MADE IN THIS HOUSE all the time. So can everyone else.
14. My room looks like a bomb went off in it (that, however, is my own fault >:( ... )
15. There are actually two working toilets in the guy's bathroom... with no divider in between them so if two have to go at once, they have to watch each other poop. (this doesn't really concern me, but I find it kind of funny... that wording there is theirs, not mine! ew.)
And those are just a few. There are more. Lots of loose/cracked windows... blahblahblah. 3 more months and I'm outta this hole and into an apartment again in the fall, thank god. This is why I'm glad I have a car down here and Fridays off. If shit gets unbearable as it sometimes does, I can get out of here for a few days.
Still love the housemates.
Just hate the house.
And can't demolish it/remodel it 'cause its on the National Historic Register.
Damnit.
