and more randomness
ran two errands this evening, which made me feel Productive:
1. took my curling-shoes-to-be to the shoe repair place. this is because i am not strong enough to conquer the thick white slider. there's nothing i can do that'll make that thing stick to the bottom of a chuck taylor sneaker and not curl, peel, or bubble. i could probably handle the gripper, but i figured, what the hell, i'll pay a guy a few bucks to basically re-sole the sneakers with the materials i brought him. explained the vital importance of the slider remaining smooth and unscarred, and will pick the shoes up next monday.
2. took my phone to the sprint store, because the alarm clock wasn't making noise (it'd light up with "alarm clock: ok/cancel", but a silent alarm clock is fairly useless for most of us), and also, the backlighting on the keypad was starting to flicker. am now owner of a new (but the same) phone.
3. my neighbor across the hall is having issues with her alarm clock, mixing up the am/pm-ness; friday evening at about a quarter to eight, it started going off and i could hear it from here. i went over there after about half an hour and banged on the door for a bit, but she was out. so i stuck a note in the door, and when she came home, she was appropriately apologetic. except now? it's happening again. i'm going to have to smack her. (but nicely.)
