So busy weekend.

In the midst of packing and cleaning, I had to take Museless to the ferry so he can start his trek to Australia. It was hard saying good bye; I will miss him for sure. At least we got a good gaming session and coffee session in before he left.

I am working on almost no sleep. Between cleaning, packing and final hang out sessions sleep has fallen by the wayside. Tomorrow afternoon though we get our new place.

This is a big thing for me, I have never lived in a place with out roommates, and I couldn’t be happier about finally getting a place with Kate. We are both really excited.

Kate started her new job today. Should be good for her. It definitely is more her style.

P.S. Magic Erasers ROCK

According to Yahoo, global warming doesn’t actually exist… I had thought that for some time, and it is nice to see an article that backs up the claim.

You can view the article here.

I dunno what to say here, though I feel I should say something. I’m listening to hokey music-fake celtic stuff. I’ve just changed what I’m listening to and now it’s vibrant Vanessa Mae, the punky-rockstar electric violinist. I feel the steady building of what I call the “Christmas Awareness”, which is when people go “oh shite, I’ve a million million things to do and no time to plan it/think it through/work it properly.” And they run around like stressed out headless chickens, gabbling at every little detail.

They’ve put some cheery lights on the lampposts in the Inner Harbour, and it feels festive even though there is no snow, only massive amounts of rain like what pours down in movies. Big fat wet hair-plastering drops, very moody and romantic. We tried to use the cheesy lines the other day but we just like wandering in the rain too much to make it corny. I’ve discovered a hole in the sole of my shoe, but I have lots of socks, so I’m staving off the wet feet  that way, plus I have a nice new pink umbrella, so I’ve mostly been keeping dry.

Moving next week, I think it will be a good area to move to, and there’s not really so much to move, so it will be easy.

…I still feel at a loose end, and I have things to do so I’m not sure why. I think I need to get back into the arts and theatre somehow. I find it very so sustaining. It slakes my thirsty soul.

Everything is setup for the move now. We have utilities set up, a move in date ready and have access to a truck. Now it is just a matter of making the insane amount of trips from each place as we were basically given the furniture in the place we are currently in.

We have the majority of our stuff packed at this point. Maybe a couple of hours left of work. And then we get to clean…

Luckily it is not too bad – there are no carpets to steam clean so really it is just mopping and wiping the walls.  Granted we don’t have a time when all of us will be available to clean, so it will be piecemeal.

Again it has been a busy while, and our update schedule has slowed to — well a bit of a standstill. In reality we have been quite busy. Museless is about to head off to Australia, so we have been busy trying to find a new place to live. We got ourselves a nice 2 bedroom, close to both of our work.

Of course finding the place was a bit of an adventure.  the second place we looked at had everything we wanted; utilities were included and the place had a walk-in closet and plenty of kitchen space. So we rushed to get a damage deposit in 2 hours is what it took for us to do so.  Only to find out someone beat us to the apartment by all of an hour. We were crushed.

Luckily, the person at the rental office was fantastic. She agreed to hold the other apartments for a day. Long enough for us to have a look at them and say if we wanted it. We now have this beautiful apartment in a good location, though the kitchen really sucks. We get to move in on the 29th.

We still have some of the details to work out – such as getting services set up, but overall it is going well.

We will keep you updated
