scatterbrained

so i had a rather uneventful weekend. i spent it mostly putting my apartment in order from last week's chaos, doing laundry, and trying to do insurance crap.

the big event for saturday was the reorganization of my comic books. and if you know how many comic books i have, it was a daunting task that i probably shouldn't have undertaken. but besides that, my living room is now pretty much tidy and most of the things that i would like to be not water damaged are now in high places. i also called my insurance people on saturday and got most of that taken care of. as in filing a claim. which seemed a bit easier than i thought it should have been. but insurance is supposed to cover most of my fucked-up-id-ness that i did to my car, except i gotta pay the $500 deductible. which i do not have. which means i gotta call up the parental units. which i'm not too happy about. because they may not help. sigh.

and on top of that, i thought it would be a good idea to try and watch The Cell because it was on TBS or TNT or one of those stations that show really horrible movies on Saturday night. all i have to say about said movie is that i couldn't get all the way through it and why did i spend 45 minutes trying to make sense out of it. yeah.

sunday was full of laundry, literally. i've been avoiding laundry for a long time now, and i spent the whole day, from the time i woke up to right before going to bed, doing laundry. but the new Family Guy made it all better. the only thing that bugged me was that my cable went scaterry for the last few minutes of Desperate Housewives. grr.

then i was awoken at around 7 a.m. this morning to the sounds of some of my neighbors arguing. who fucking argues at 7 fucking a.m.! and, you know, i was trying to hear what said argument was about. all i could make out was some guy saying "when i want to hear what you have to say, i'll say so. otherwise, keep your mouth shut." and this was being said to a girl. at 7 in the morning. sigh. i then spent most of my pre-work time waiting for a call from the claims adjuster and the body shop people, both of whom were supposed to call me sometime from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, according to the insurance guy i spoke with saturday. i did try calling the claims adjuster, but kept on being put on hold for 10 minutes at a time, which resulted in my getting frustrated and hanging up, only to do it all over again about 20 minutes later. and i didn't try calling the body shop people because i had this fear that maybe the insurance people hadn't called them, so i'd call and they'd have no fucking idea what i'm talking about.

so i'm still carless for the time being. sigh. oh well. at least i have the other episode of the o.c. that was shown on thursday to watch tonight after work, thanks to joel. it'll help me to not freak out about my car and money situation. sigh.
