starting to get bleary-eyed over here.

i somehow woke up at 6 this morning, then heard this alarm-clock style beeps coming from the other apartment. it was faint but at 6 in the morning you can hear a fly waking up, so after realizing that i wasn't going back to sleep i decided to continue reading Stephen King's Gerald's Game (got back into this book because i recalled never being able to finish the damn thing. or at least, read beyond the first third of the book) until i got sleepy again. i think i slept two hours this morning.

woke up to snow covering everything again. i love that. so people were outside scrapping their driveways and cars were parked all along the streets. it was nice.

then as we were moving the cars out, i noticed a small yellow stain where my car had been. must've been a dog peeing. but then more droplets. checked online and found out that it must be a coolant leak. no biggie (thank god). in fact, i couldn't find any other drops by this afternoon. we'll see tomorrow but for now i'm putting this one under fluid overflow, or something like that.

the roommate is having dinner with her friends right now and i'm too tired to eat with them. so here i am, starting to get hungry.

they're leaving in an hour or so and i rented Russian Ark this afternoon at the video store.
it was a weird, freeing feeling -- i didn't know what to get, something i'm not used to since i always do some quick research before going out to rent a movie, but there it was. i'd heard about it, mostly the title came up a few times, so i happily got it.

looking forward to sitting down with some food and watching the film :)
