(no subject)
i am very tired of being inside. i'm leaving the apartment and going down to the house if it kills me. i'm tired of sitting in front of the television, watching movies, playing video games, staring at all the boxes piling up around the apartment.
regardless of being sick, i'm feeling pretty transient right now. my apartment is a mess of cardboard and rubbermaid cotainers; the dining room table hasn't been completely cleared in almost two weeks. no way anyone could eat on it. first you'd have to move my bass amp, a poker set, several books, boxes, papers and an HO scale train car. erin and i keep talking about how much better it will be when we're moved in (next saturday at this time the process will begin...) and i do think that's true. erin, as usual, put it better than i could: "i feel like i'm paying all this money right now for something i have a responsibility for, but yet i don't live there or spend any time there." exactly. i'm going to take a load of books down today....maybe CDs....and then tape off the living room. maybe even prime the dining room. i'm stressed out about painting, about finishing the floors on time.
but above all else, i absolutely need to get out of this apartment. i need to get something done. i need to not keep wasting time.

if you're bored next saturday morning and want to help us move, please feel free to join in on the fun. i'm getting the truck around 8 and then we'll load my stuff, dump it at the house, and then drive to erin and dan's house and get hers.

i'm excited about my new office.....a change of scenery does sometimes help get the creative juices going again (despite what ben gibbard says in "blacking out the friction") and i like that this room is at the top of the house, at the top of the stairs, but still somehow secluded.
more than anything else, i'm just ready to be there.

now for a shower, breakfast, and lugging boxes to the car....
