Actually, we win! Ha!
We're still waiting to hear about this teaching job Dan had two interviews for. It's only been 48 hours or so, but we're both ready to explode. With all the competition that's out there right now (we figure a few hundred applicants for each job), I'm incredibly proud that he's in the finals for this job. It's just like America's Next Top Model! Even if he doesn't get this job, I think he has a really good shot at getting a teaching job this year.
I've had such a good day off today. I got tons of stuff done that I've been putting off: cleaning, tons of laundry, and I finally started painting Dan's dresser. I've also watched tons of TV on the interweb. AND I just found out I get tomorrow off too!

You win, jerks!
We found a nice looking place on Craigslist that promised to be quiet. We are waiting for the landlord to call us back. We are going to talk to our landlord on Wednesday to see if they will let us out of the lease, based on the fact that they told us it was a quiet apartment, and the fact that they have already talked to the neighbors to no avail. Rather than evicting the entire building in order to uphold their end of the lease, why not just let us get the fuck out. Plus, Tabatha might take over the lease, which would really make our lives a lot easier. If anyone knows of a quiet apartment within a few blocks of downtown, please let me know.
In other news, we found a reception site for our wedding! Lakeside Farms in Ballston Lake has a pavilion that we are going to rent out. Also, they cater, killing two birds with one stone. The plan is to have the ceremony in Dan's parents yard, which is about 10 minutes away, and then move to the pavilion for the reception. That way, if it rains, we can just do the ceremony in the pavilion. There is really no way to set up a tent big enough in Dan's parent's yard because there are a lot of trees and gardens, so this is a really nice compromise. I'm excited! Our wedding plans are starting to take shape. Hooray!

Take that, centipedes!
These things come straight from hell. And if they're supposed to do "more good that harm" because they eat other bugs, then why do I have these big flies in my apartment, huh? Fuck you, centipedes!

Womanizer
We also witnessed a ridiculious hit and run at target. She smashed into this car right in front of us, causing a considerable amount of damage, looked at us, and then drove away. So we went ahead and put her licence plate number on the damaged car for her. Have a nice day, criminal!

WHAT I DID ON SUMMER VACATION PART 2
so I was very impressed with the enormity of Niagara Falls. We went on the Maid of the Mist, which was really cool, if not a little scary. I mean, you get right up on that bitch. At that distance, the amount of water pouring over the edge was incomprehensible to my little brain. Also, I was worried the boat would capsize and we would all die in the churning water. At the top of the falls, you are able to go right up to the edge and watch the water go over, which was cool.
On Sunday we toured Geneso with a group of Dan's friends from college and saw Kirk Cameron at the Charcoal Corral. We didn't approach him, because he was with his kids and junk, but it was pretty random and funny. We went to see The Hangover, which Dan and I both hated, but as far as I can tell we're the only ones in the entire world who feel that way.
Um, I think thats it. It was a crazy, jam-packed trip, but it was a lot of fun. THE END.
