A Week Since I Left

So it has been one week since I left the shores of New York City for Wellington. So this morning I woke up a little early so that I could tiddy up the apartment before my new roommate Zach got here. Oh by the by, I'm not sure if I've told you yet, but interesting thing about this apartment, the shower is shorter than I am. So this means that I have to get creative, i.e. assume the Terminator time travel pose anytime I want to rinse my hair. So I clean, I shower, I get ready but turns out though that his flight was delayed so I ended up waiting around in the apartment for him to arrive. That in itself was pretty boring, but there was curling on TV. Now I had never actually stopped to watch it for any amount of time, and I must say while I can see it takes a lot of skill to curl, it is really really boring to watch. I also feel really bad for the announcers because while you need some soundtrack while watching any sport, their job is really redundant. I mean they throw the rock, the sweep, it gets on the target, it hits another rock, there's not a lot to discuss there.
So then around three Zach arrives, which is good because I have been just sitting around alone for the past few days, as you well know if you've been following this blog. So you know what kind of roommate he is, he brought with him a harddrive full of Battle Star Galactica, Doctor Who, Firefly, Torch Wood, and lots and lots of other movies as well. Suffice to say, he's not too shabby. Also funny story, he is from Chicago, and is going to college in New York City, so that's pretty crazy. So he got his stuff sorted out, I showed him around the place, which took all of five seconds, and while he set up, I did the laundry. Then we went out to a pub had some sandwiches and beer. Then we went over to The Mill, the rather large liquor store a block away, and picked up further provisions, including more beer, and vodka (and Zach got some Bloody Mary Mix). Then we headed back upstairs watched some Torchwood, both episodes were pretty damn good. I had only seen the first two episodes before due to the incooperative nature of the intrawebs. So we watched that, then as he was preparing other tv shows we checked the actual telly, and found Death at a Funeral on one channel and am currently watching that, with a pleasant alcohol buzz. Tomorrow I start work, so that should be pretty cool, but for now I'm enjoying chilling with Zach, and generally bonding.
