Day: March 29, 2005

About half of the states allow first cousins to marry, according to stateline.org, a research site on state laws.

I'd be curious to see a geopolitical map with the distribution of those states :D

Original insanity here.

All sorts of good news this morning.

Item le premier:

I just found out that my first month's rent will be reduced by a third. Since I'm taking posession of the apartment on the 11th of april, they're pro-rating my rent from to (You'd assume that since it's 2/3 of a month, it'd be but no. The amount owing is worked out on a calendar month basis. The 11th to 30th April is 20 days inclusive and the amount owing would therefore be 750 x 12 divide by 365 x 20). Makes perfect sense. Ya. Anyway, The paperwork will be sent off in the next few days.

Item le second:

I have just received a call from the British High Commission. At 8:45 on the first day back from a 4-day weekend. Hell must be getting nippy! Thank you loverly lady on the phone!! They confirm that I do not need any special stamp or paperwork. I simply need to get my ass to Heathrow with my passport and my appointment papers to the EMBL and I just mosey on through immigration.

So come on folks, mamba with me!

I've been feeling a bit bleh tonight. I don't know if it's because I'm tired or something else, but it's a good thing Boris has been clingy tonight, cause he's gotten and given a lot of love. I'm really going to miss the bugger. I never realized just how affectionate a cat can be.
