Too busy for movies?!?!?

I came to a rather sad realization a week ago, and have yet to rectify the situation. I haven't been to the movies since I've been in Boston. I didn't go for a week or so before I left, which means its been more than two months since I went to the movies! Two months, for a guy who usually never goes more than 2 weeks.

Of course, there are two reasons I haven't been to the movies. The first is that I've been a bit busy, what with moving and all. The second is that there haven't been many good movies to go to, since I would make time for something that looked appealing.

On a related note, I'm still on the antennae for TV! It kind of amazes me that it took me more than a week to setup my TV in the first place, but to still be on broadcast TV! Well, that isn't exactly my fault. I tried to get DirecTV but I didn't know how the system in the building works, where there is a deal with a company to set all of that up. So the Directv guy called the day of and canceled, and now its going to be another few days at least. Maybe by December.

I also don't have Internet yet. I'm borrowing wi-fi for the time being. Verizon was supposed to turn on my DSL on Friday, but they didn't. Oh, and the UPS delivery for the modem didn't go through because my name wasn't on the box yet. So I had to go to the UPS facility. It's 0.7 miles from me according to Google maps, so I thought I would just hoof it. Unfortunately half of those 0.7 miles are industrial, meaning overgrown sidewalks (weeds 4-6 ft high) where there were sidewalks, and no streetlamps. Anyway, I got the box and waited for the turn on date. Now the modem is sitting there saying there's no signal. I did all the troubleshooting the CD suggested, and called customer service. They wanted me to go through all the troubleshooting again! Eventually they agreed with my assessment that it hasn't been hooked up yet. So maybe on Monday.

Anyway, I'm making progress on unpacking. I think I might actually have as many boxes emptied as full. And that's saying a lot since some of the boxes I opened but I'm leaving full. I haven't figured out what sort of bookshelf situation I'm going to go for, so I'm leaving all my books in their boxes for the time being. Well, the books that were in boxes. The dozen or so that were in random boxes and the other dozen or so I've purchased since, are going on the shelves.
