Went and saw Rent tonight. It was good. In other news, got a VCR and DVD player. First three DVD's are The Matrix, What Dreams May Come, and The Spanish Prisoner. Got some automatic stuff for my blinds. The long main ones on the west windows of the living/dining room are now motorized. They work well enough that I'm going to do the rest. Oh, and I have premium channels now, although I haven't watched an entire movie yet. The cable modem comes on Saturday. Still haven't wired the apartment. Might watch 2nd day of regionals on Sunday. Have that dance to go to Saturday night. I'm going to try my hands at DJing again. Makes me want to get a prosumer mixing deck. Someday. Would like to see Tap Dogs at the Shubert in November. And John Wesley Harding on Oct. 25 at Shuba's. Wonder what's at the Chicago Theater.
