Anybody wanna go?
I found out from a girl in my class that the club where all these concerts are is just right down the street from the Omaha Public Library.
I think I've found my happy place.

Help (Take Two)
I have landlord issues.
From the very beginning, these people have been bullying me around. And since this is my first time living on my own, I have absolutely no idea how to obtain any sort of upper hand. The first altercation that I had with them concerned moving in. They said I could move in on Friday, I got there, they came late, started walking toward the wrong house, and discovered that they had me confused with someone else. That the person in my apartment wouldn't move out until Wednesday. So I paid someone else's utilities for five days. And moved back in to my old apartment.
Then came the stove. My stove hasn't worked since I moved in. I called them to come look at it, they said it was broken. I kept calling and they said there was some special part needed, and it was hard to order, and would take awhile to get there. Three weeks later, the new part was installed. I get home to check my stove, and it still doesn't work. I call them back, and it turns out they didn't even check it. They just saw the light turn on and assumed it worked. Then I call them to come look again, and they do, but don't tell me anything. So I call them, and they finally admit that I'm getting a new one, it'll be there on Friday. I get home from work last Friday and there's a note saying that Home Depot brought the wrong stove. I call this week, since I had no news, and they say they'll bring it this Friday. I get a call today saying that Home Depot delivered a damaged stove, that looked like someone took a sledge hammer to the top of it.
Seriously?
So now I wait another week.
I have no idea what is actually going on. Could Home Depot really be this inept? Do I have any rights here? Can I get any sort of financial retribution for not being able to cook for three months? Help!
And yesterday I worked for 13 hours. And then had to go in early today. And I have to work tomorrow. This week, adulthood is lame.

Help!
My plants keep dying. If the ends of the leaves are turning brown and yellow, does that mean that I'm over watering or under watering?
I cannot figure out these dang plants. They come to me all pretty and full of leaves and life and green things, and then one month in my house and they look like they've been dying for years. I am so glad I don't have any pets.
In brighter news, I just got a DVR and it's the best toy ever. I tape Jeopardy! all week, and then Steven and I watch them all back to back. So far, I'm on a 10 game winning streak. There's no greater joy than discovering that you know more about state nicknames than your significant other.
