Day 13

Do you know how lazy today was?

I don't even have a photo.

I'm so ashamed. I slept in today, and Caitlin woke me up with a phone call (i'll never object to that). She was on her way to a baby shower, so I chatted with her while she drove. After that, I watched some Hulu and "Weeds", and grabbed some lunch.

England and the United States in the World Cup! GREENE MISSED THE BALL! U.S. SCORES! After the game, I discovered a Back to the Future marathon, and watched that and chatted with Caitlin on her way back, and we chatted about her apartment situation for the next few months. We researched some apartments and found some misses and one or two hits. She found a place that looks gorgeous, and has a washer/dryer in the unit. Score! and it was fairly inexpensive for a one-bedroom apartment. I put together a spreadsheet and emailed it to her so she can keep all her details together.

Sidenote: I've never considered myself artistically creative, but what do you call it when you consciously design something to be user-friendly? My many years at Apple has instilled in me a sense of design simplicity. It takes a conscious effort to think about how things will be read and interpreted, and you can really control how things are read when you design their environment. Apple's retail efforts are a great example of controlling how a customer experiences Apple products.

Anyway, there was word of board games at another apartment, so I headed over there, and chatted for a few hours with some other department folks.

Not a whole lot going on today, but I promise tomorrow to:

1) Go to the local climbing gym and put in a few hours on the walls
2) Go to the capital area where all the shops are and check out the shops
3) Take photos and share!
