Rut

I'm in a rut lately and I am unsure how to get myself out. Hmm...

Books

So plugging away at an accelerated rate at Foundation and Empire as my usual lunch cohort is on vacation this week. I've got a lot of reading waiting for me. It's all in one place due to the house (well actually I have a couple of Dad's books I want to read too but oh well). 24 books that are unopened sit on the shelf plus Velvet Elvis which is next up on my docket.

The house is mostly set up, you can take a look on Facebook if you like. At some point now I am going to probably throw a house warming party although that depends greatly on my motivation. I started the battle to retake my lawn this evening and I will be interested to see if the weed spray does anything or if I applied it to lightly. I also need to get around to washing the CRV sometime. And securing the ethernet cable in the basement and a million other miscelaneous projects.

Looks like I might be running a mortals nWoD game for Carl & friends. Should be interesting if it does run. Hope I can pull it off, that kind of story is all about the storytelling not so much the system! Anyhow I need to throw some laundry in here quick before I head out to the LTG.

It heats up

Well my house survived the day of super cells last week thankfully. In general things are coming along pretty well. What I really need to do is unpack the rest of my junk. After that I am essentially home free. I am pretty close as it is. Then I just have projects to do and those will be ongoing. Note: When you buy a house the list of things to do never goes away it just changes in size.

What's new? Well I ordered a print for the living room. Will have to find a frame whence it arrive. We'll see how it looks, maybe I'll get more but they're expensive too! Decorating is a lower priority, it will perhaps be higher in the fall/winter.

I've got the itch to buy RPGs again but I am holding off. A couple new Exalted books will come out over the summer and those I will get. Probably Scions: Demigod & God as well. Really digging some of the stuff with Gear Krieg as well. Ah, who knows. It's inevitable that once my apartment lease is done that my "luxury" items will be mostly RPG books. Then again I don't really want much else. Maybe a Gamecube game or two but those are cheap and prolly getting cheaper!

There is a part of me toying with wrapping up this blog. I'm not yet so don't worry if you are one of the few people who actually reads/checks this on a semi-regular basis. It's just that I think in a sense I may be running out of stuff to talk about. I don't talk about work on here and that's what I do 40 hours (sometimes more) a week. It cuts out a lot of the time I had to do random maybe interesting to the random reader stuff!

Cleaning Up and Out

Well everything but a wastebasket and some cleaning supplies is moved out of the old apartment. I even lugged up the hideous old lamp and stand that came with it and had been tucked away in storage for over a year. Tomorrow I'll go and clean the place, finish it off. Then I guess I'll have to hope someone takes it. Otherwise it'll collect dust. The place looks a little forlorn.

In the meantime my house feels quasi-filled with stuff that needs to be sorted and put away. I have a lot of junk, an amazing amount for a single bedroom apartment. (BTW the old apartment is so small I can plug in the vacuum in the hall and it can vacuum literall the entire place. Crazy stuff.

Well time to go read Legacy of Heorot and then crash.

Settling In

Well I am mostly moved in now. What remains is a lot of organizing of things. Major furniture arrives tomorrow, that will be pretty exciting, I'll finally have a real bed all of my own. Also a couch. w00t!

Granting the basement still needs the futon assembled, that tv set up, and even more stuff put away. I should also prolly get that ethernet cable that snakes from upstairs through downstairs out of the way. That'll be fun...

Anyhow, the real home is getting closer!
