1. Finally took the time to finish reading Victory of Eagles. Very good -- on a level with Throne of Jade, which had previously been my favorite in the Temeraire series ( Read more... )

Sunday was mostly errands -- replacing the lost rice cooker (In the rush to clear things out of the old apartment, I walked into the kitchen 3 or 4 times to grab or check things, saw a box sitting in an open cabinet, thought "I need to grab that on the next trip," and promptly forgot about it each time), getting stakes to train the morning glories ( Read more... )

1. Sort through old magazines.
2. Find desk lamp.
3. Put some actual content on Facebook profile.
4. Finish website update on the Silver-Age Flash.

I actually expect #2 to be the hardest, because neither alenxa nor I remembers packing it, and I remember tossing out a box that I thought had an old, unused desk lamp.

Hmm, andrea_wot, wayens, do either of you remember seeing a sort of ( Read more... )

After spending Friday night and most of the daylight hours Saturday and Sunday moving furniture and boxes around, putting stuff on shelves or in closets, hooking up electronics, sorting stuff to keep/sell/donate/take to storage, and generally trying to make the new place liveable, I decided to just relax on Monday ( Read more... )

It's been slow going, but we've cleared out enough of the living room to set out the coffee table, making the couch usable, and set up the TV and DVD player ( Read more... )

We did it!

First, a big round of thanks to wayens and andrea_wot for their help throughout the morning and afternoon, and to alenxa's father who pitched in by adding a trip with the van. I don't know how we would have managed without them. I mean, it was a nightmarish process as it was!

Some problems:

1. We vastly underestimated the amount of stuff we'd accumulated ( Read more... )

This is most likely my last blog post from this apartment. We're not done packing, and we'll probably be at it until ski o'clock (tomorrow will be time for coffee & adrenaline). But I'm turning off the computers and packing up all the cables, power strips, etc. except for the DSL modem and the wireless access point, just in case we need to check ( Read more... )

This past weekend would have been great weather for moving. Not too warm, not too cold. Monday was nice and cool, but too drizzly. I've noticed they expect it to get hotter each day this week...

And now the updated forecast is out and they're anticipating 90 degrees for Saturday. Gee, isn't that just perfect moving weather ( Read more... )
