Today:

A family friend was in town, so we went for brunch. Since Nene's hotel was on Crescent, we crossed the street to a place called "Cafe Republique." We glanced at the menu, and realized that it wasn't OUR Cafe Republique, but went in anyway. The food was good, except... what they said was sausage in the breakfast special was actually... a hot dog. We laughed about it, and weren't sure whether we should say anything... Bizarre.

Today, on the way home from brunch, I was approached by a lady who appeared to be in a breathless trance... she handed me a card, and said "FREE PASS TO MEET RAEL!" Oh baby, I got my in to join the Raelian Movement! I think I'll pass on the orgies and kool-aid...

I recently joined Videoself, where you can rent movies from a selection you choose from a screen, and with your pre-paid membership, take movies out for 6 hours for $1.15. (It's less complicated than it might sound) Anyway, we've had some issues with the on-screen selecting (pressing confirm instead of next... whoops) and our rental history includes a terrible Cancon film called "Willard" and Elizabeth Berkley's "Showgirls." Needless to say, we'll use the online pre-selection from now on.

Umm, other than that, I'm still looking for an apartment for August 1st. More on that another day.
