I arrived back at my apartment after a nice walk with Loki, and within five minutes, receive my first knock on the door as a resident of the apartment. My first instinct was that it was a mistake. My confusion quickly evaporated, as my mother was sending someone down to help me put together my bookshelves ( Read more... )

I've decided to keep the camera. I've got more than enough coming in the coming months to deal with the camera cost and anything else I've got to deal with, with a decent amount left over, especially if I don't go spending crazy.

Despite my allergies to the great outdoors, today was quite enjoyable. Loki and I sent forth for Gallup Park in eighty-five degree weather for a three-mile walk. A longer ramble probably wouldn't have been good for the girl, despite the fact that I carried a bottle of water for her to drink from and pour on her while we were out. Of course it ( Read more... )

It never seems to stop, all of the running around. Lately, my time spent when not working has been rather unproductive, or at least it feels like it.
