where his civilizations, including our own

- Saw the Tutankhamen exhibit at the deYoung. It was win.

- Went across the street to the Academy of Sciences which I hadn't been to since it was rebuilt. It's nice but the rainforest exhibit had too long of a line so we didn't go into it. Shortly after we went in, the fire alarm went off and the museum was evacuated! Then everyone stood around while the firepersons examined the premises and concluded everything was fine. They even let us back in.

- Saw HBP. I think it was an accurate rendering of a book that was extremely uneven. I really like the story of HBP, I like Slughorn, I like Snape and Draco's storyline, I like Tom Riddle. I really dislike the romantic subplots and thought they were handled horribly in the books. The movie reflected both those aspects accurately. I think Jim Broadbent was great. I was totally impressed by Tom Felton, who has these scenes without dialogue or anyone to play against that must be hard to pull off, but he did it.

- On one of our flights, as the plane was landing, the plane in front of us failed to take off. We had already touched down on the runway and the pilot had to make an emergency takeoff to avoid a collision, then go around the traffic pattern again and get directed to another runway. Wheeeeeee!

- On the west coast it's been quite mild all week. When we arrived in Vermont, we found out the Northeast has been having a record heat wave. I think it's like 90F. I lol'd.

- My computer isn't here yet. /nailbite

So today has already been shitty beyond shitty, and then I was doing my laundry at the laundromat and left while it was in the dryer, and when I came back it was gone.

I asked the people around if they saw anyone take it out, and looked everywhere, and told the woman who worked there. Nada. So I gave her my phone number and left, thinking that now I was going to have to go buy clothes for work tomorrow. Because... hi, no wearable clothes. At all.

About 15 minutes later she called and said someone returned some clothes, so I ran back and they were mine. She didn't speak a lot of English so I didn't get the exact details, she was like "Some boys, they got confused", but she made a sarcastic face like she didn't believe it was an accident... man, I dunno.

But YAY CLOTHES. Omg. It's not even "thank God for small favors". That was totally a big favor! I mean friggin thanks! O_O

I'm never leaving my clothes at the laundromat for half an hour again.

I believed my thermostat was broken and was putting off getting a new one. In the meantime, my brother figured out that it wasn't broken, it was just "locked" and he found a code to unlock it on the interwebs! I didn't know thermostats could be locked.
