a slightly compulsive post

The new car should be picked up today. The eloan folk emailed me on Friday (at 5-something) to say that the check had been cleared from their end and here's how much I had to pay for the next 5 years (not as bad as I expected). But the dealer folk hadn't gotten the OK from their bank yet. Fine. We can wait 3 days.

I had a yummy dimsum experience yesterday and saw Shall We Dance with Caulay. Dance movies are slightly dangerous, as they always make me want to... well, not knit. quiet_elegance was asked and was receptive to the idea of taking a beginner type class with me- type unknown as yet, but I've always wanted to learn a latin style. :)

Saturday was spent in very good company with both quiet_elegance, purple_terror and our friend Joe. The time had come to clean the basement. It looks so much better now! There's a fair amount of stuff to be taken to good will and even more trash. The floor was swept and I have to bug the landlord about extra insulation.
Joe is one of boundless energy, fantastic stories, and as he puts it- is very comfortable furniture. Eventually after getting unlost, Joe's cute chick, Deb arrived kept us company for the remainder of the evening.

A good weekend.
