Happy new year! Do you know where I was when the ball dropped? Outside my new apartment unloading stuff from the backseat. There's still some stuff in the trunk, but I don't want to bring it in yet and create more clutter. I've got to shift stuff around in the living room because the Verizon guy is coming to install FiOS(!). At least the den ( Read more... )

Successfully relocated across town to the new apartment. Gotta finish unpacking and shelving all my goodies. I bought two of the 360 DVD racks. I...think I need to buy one more. Place looks really nice with the furniture in it. I choose dark, deep reds and dark woods with metal scrollwork to match with the mediterranean theming of the ( Read more... )

Hey local-area amigos, does anyone have a truck or a van where-in I could transport a rather heavy 34-inch tube television and/or help me move it into the apartment? I'm looking to buy one by Saturday, probably purchase it Saturday morning. There's a $20 and probably also lunch in it for you.

Chris and I spent the late night playing Burnout and sucking horribly ( Read more... )

Sometime around 3am, Jess' parents arrived from Georgia. I played the good male roommate and lended some muscle in hauling stuff up from the truck. At one point, I wasn't really paying attention, so I walked into that family of spiders that lives by our neighbor's window. I think most of them retreated up their web-line instead of crawling into ( Read more... )

Internet here's slower than even DSL. Because my parent's don't like the idea of me sleeping in a paint-smelling room, I'll be spending the night with them. Then more shopping for furnishings ( Read more... )

Sorting out stuff hauled out of my dorm into the stuff I'm going to lug to my new apartment sure is a bitch. Maybe I should just take everything as-is and spend my free time pre-school doing all this sorting.

UPDATE: I spent some time last night updating my magazine subscriptions to the new address, and though some were automated, I had to ( Read more... )
