July 19, 2011

There were a host of things I really wanted to write about an hour ago, but it seems that they weren't all that important, as I've forgotten them entirely.

I've been doing laundry for 3 days now.  I did two loads on Sunday, 3 loads last night (somehow), and am right now washing the last of the towels.  Why so many loads, you ask?  I have a small-ish washer.  It's not a commercial unit.  It doesn't wash 3 stone (42 pounds) of laundry in one go.  At most, I can fit about 5kg (11 lbs) in it at any given time.  So, I wash lots of small loads.  Thankfully, I have a "quick wash" setting that only takes about 30 minutes, and doesn't use all that much water or electricity.  The dryer is an amazing device, something that a lot of Brits don't seem to have.  It confuses me when I see houses that only have a washer in them; I ask them how they dry their clothes when it's pouring outside.  They never answer me.  I wonder why...?

My car came back from the dealership today with 4 brand new tires on it.  They charged me £32 more than they quoted me, and it quite annoyed me to notice that.  For their transgression, they will wait until Saturday to receive the payment for it.  I'll argue with them tomorrow.  Yes, they drove my car from the dealership to my house, and took the courtesy car (a silver 2010 Boxster S) away.  They got only slightly more fuel than they gave me; I made sure I used a lot of it driving all over the place.

I just updated my iPhone to v4.3.4 of iOS.  All I know about the update is that it closes that "malicious PDF" loophole that allowed the phone to be jailbroken.  Good thing I don't really care about jailbreaking my phone.

I just spent the last hour or so watching the top 10 most viral videos done by commercial passenger airlines.  Some of them were absolute garbage, but some of them were also hilarious, touching, or just downright awesome.  There was even one in German that I didn't understand at all, until the end. :)

And now, I'm going to bed.  It's been a ridiculously long day, and I'm exhausted.  G'night.
