And I used to post to LJ so often.
So, things.
1. We moved! There is nothing non-awesome* about this apartment. moireach and I have both been so excited about 1) the sheer voluminousness of the kitchen, and 2) the dishwasher, that everything is always clean. The washer/dryer in apartment means that all my clothes and sheets and towels were clean AT ONCE for the first time in, like, 8 years. Every time I walk up the stairs I get all happy at how pretty it is, and how much I love everything about it, and I work in the STUDY (A WHOLE ROOM JUST FOR STUDYING - weirdly, I get more done here than on the couch of my old place. WHAT?), and we spent Sunday afternoon sitting out on our porch in the sunshine, and it's so big that if one of us yells something to the other from one end, we can't even hear each other. And there is nothing not-awesome about living with M, though sometimes we do seem to be succeeding in our quest to be the lamest apartment ever. Let's just say that there are a lot of Buffy DVDs and Star Trek tapes in this apartment and leave it at that.
2. You know what I found while moving? These little awesome cardboard LOTRIPS paper dolls that calendae made, like, a zillion years ago (okay, 2004). Plus, Vincent Kartheiser. (swmbo, I think he was for you.)
Close up. That's Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd, Viggo Mortenson, and Hannah Wood.
3. I think our landlord's getting hotter, seriously. He let us move in early, while he was still fixing things up, and so he would be, like, working with power tools, while all stubbly, and barefoot, and listening to WILCO. Like, honestly, is this some kind of joke? WHAT IS THE UNIVERSE TRYING TO DO TO ME? However, the gay watch continues apace: one time, T-shirt tucked into jeans. HMM.
4. The Office season 2 DVDs are out! Things that are awesome include: EVERYTHING. I had already seen all the deleted scenes, so am working through the commentaries, and they are awes.
5. Speaking of the Office, I have read a lot of bad fic this summer, guys. And you know what is the grossest term ever? LOVEMAKING. I want to take a shower every time I read it, which is A LOT. I've never been into a fandom enough that I read terrible fic - my normal system is that I only read things if they're recced to me, and then if I'm not interested in two paragraphs, I'm out, but THIS. The things I've seen, man. The things I've seen. Being pan-fandom is way better for my state of mind.
*From my perspective. But Moireach has, apparently, gotten trapped in her room several times due to a faulty doorknob, which she pretends is a big hassle, but I'm pretty sure it's actually an excuse to call our hot landlord. I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU, M.
