The More You Know

Big, Important Discovery of the Day:
The really good cover of Don Henley's "The Heart of the Matter" in the new Sex & the City trailer is not, as I suspected, by the movie's costar, Jennifer Hudson, but by India.Arie.
Moral of the Story:
A well-placed cover of a great song in the trailer of a movie I was iffy about will make said movie a must-see. And, iTunes just made another sale.

Second-biggest Important Discovery of the Day:
All six of the laundry machines in my building — not just the two new ones — now cost $1.75 per load.
Moral of the Story:
I have more than one reason to be happy I'm moving and will have laundry in my apartment.

Third-biggest Important Discovery of the Day:
Buying a condo can be very stressful, especially the day before you have to sign the Purchase & Sale, hand over a big check, and decide on a mortgage lender.
Moral of the Story:
A week ago I told Todd I found the whole condo-buying process fun. Todd responded by saying, "If you're having fun, then you're not doing it right." Wise words. But I choose to heed the even wiser words of that old adage, "Anything worth having is worth working for." And I know it's all going to be worth it a month from now.
