Lots of stuff
After all the business of moving and traveling out West, I came home to working 108 hours in two weeks. Unfortunately those weeks were on different pay cheques, so apparently I won't be getting any overtime, but that's another matter. This week I'm only working 29 hours, so I can actually spend time in my new apartment!
My room was finally unpacked last week, and today I went to put stuff on my walls. I know I was going to go for a more grown-up look, but I can't help putting pictures of Remus Lupin on my wall. I won't post pictures until it's absolutely finished, which will hopefully be by the end of the week. I think the best touch would be to find that gnome pattern that was used on George's wallpaper on Being Human that I posted about a while ago - that pattern on fabric so that I can turn it into curtains.
The rest of the apartment is pretty much finished. We're just waiting for some bookshelves that my mom is bringing up at the end of May. So our books and crafts are still in boxes, awaiting us to finish that area of the living room. But other than that, I love how our place has turned out. And I'm not sharing with stupid boys anymore, but with people I actually like. It's like where I lived in second to fourth years, except geekier.
And as an example, I decided to set up all of our action figures on a shelf today.
I don't really want to name them all, but I feel like I should.
Back row: Stark (Farscape), Merlin (Merlin), Ryan Evans and Troy Bolton(High School Musical), Dean and Sam Winchester (Supernatural), Dr. Horrible (Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog).
2nd row from back: Samwise Gamgee, Legolas, Eowyn (Lord of the Rings), Anya (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ninth Doctor, Mickey, The Master, Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who), Princess Leia (Star Wars, obv. She's in her Endor Moon costume.)
3rd row from the back: Merlin and Arthur (Merlin), Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars ep I), Rose Tyler and Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who - Rose is sort of in front of Qui-Gon, but I'm considering her in that row), Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Spock, James T. Kirk (Star Trek - 2009 movie), Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter (Harry Potter), Sam and Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
Front Row: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars - I think ep III, but could be II), 1967 Impala (Supernatural), Samwise Gamgee, Frodo Baggins (Lord of the Rings), John Crichton, Zhaan, Rygel (in front), Stark, Chiana, Aeryn Sun, D'Argo (Farscape), Remus Lupin (Harry Potter)
I guess I can admit that most of them are mine, though Phaedra made the Merlin, Sam and Dean in the back row. More fun can be seen with the Star Trek figure on facebook or here at Phaedra's post. Funny story about that day, but also a little embarassing, so not being told here at this time.
Now that the television season is over (and nothing to look forward to over the summer except So You Think You Can Dance and Glee), Laura, Phaedra and I are watching Battlestar Galactica. All of it, all the way through. I gave up beginning of season three, mostly because I had trouble getting a hold of new episodes back then, and also because I was tired of the previous story line. I am excited to watch it this way, especially because I'm not completely spoiled as to who all the cylons are. A few, yes, but not all twelve.
New Guinea Pig is doing very well. She's actually sleeping right now, which is rare to see. If she knows you are there, her eyes are open, even if she's laying down. My rats were like that too, usually. I'm glad I'm not on the bottom of a food chain. Oney's sleeping on my bed at the moment. I don't want to have to put her in the living room, but she'll just keep me up if I let her stay in here, with her sitting on my pillow and breathing in my ear.
I actually get a day shift tomorrow! Which means I can go and get stuff done after work! Also, it's not 12 hours long. Weird.
