today, so far

Been at home getting a lot of phone calls and stuff. Movers called to schedule a phone appointment tomorrow where we'll discuss the real details of relocation. Got the actual papers with the offer letter from Amazon; I suppose I should read them over and sign them and send them back soon. Rebecca also dropped by with DDR stuff so I can set up IMSO tomorrow. Eli's family also called and I got to talk to them. There was also a telemarketer who was like "is this Mrs. Brandt?" and I replied "No. She's in Massachusetts. I think you have the wrong number." In the meantime of all this, I found my laundry card and did laundry, and watched the movie Class inbetween laundry trips, foldings, and phone calls. Class was... eh. It's a silly 80's prep school movie where a guy goes to school and ends up having an affair with an older woman who turns out to be his roomate's mother. But, the entertaining part was seeing the actors in the cast in their younger years - notably a 16-year-old John Cusack, an 18-year-old Rob Lowe, and a 20-year-old Andrew McCarthy (who to his credit looks at least 2 years YOUNGER than Rob Lowe does in the film). Alan Ruck was also in it. I had no idea he was so old though - he was 27 in this and 30 in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (playing a high school student in both movies). Weird. Still, I had forgotten why I bought this movie until 5 minutes into it when the camera pans around a corner and you see John Cusack the teenager being a wiseass. Heh. Other than that, though, it sort of falls short of what I think they intended (some cross between The Graduate and... well, I'm not sure which one is the prototypical dorm movie that came before it). Eh. Anyway.

Time to put away laundry, shower, change, and go play bridge at Beeler.
