Just some stuff, you know?

I actually didn’t open the editor until after midnight but it’s supposed to be Thursday’s entry so I fiddled the date. So sue me.

Just some things that I’ve noticed lately that I’ve been meaning to mention but haven’t. The mailbox I plowed through last year is missing again, but not because someone lost control. They moved back to Mississippi and took the mailbox with them. WTF? Who takes the mailbox with them when they move? Most people don’t even take the drapes. And it’s not like he paid for it anyway…

My landlord asked when I was going to get "all the stuff" in front of the house cleaned up. Bite me. All that’s out there is my old desk, my patio table, my rolling tool chest and a few crates. The crates are under a tarp the same color as the mulch, so it’s not like they’re an eyesore, and I told him I’d hurt my back when I was moving the day before. Critter said she might be able to help me get the third-row seat out of the truck so we could get the desk carted off, and then she can probably help me get the patio table onto the screened porch. Of course she said that on Tuesday, and if she had Wed/Thr off then I’m screwed.

I’ve been going through the crates that are already inside and I’m probably throwing out about half of what’s in them and putting away the rest. I’ve got a lot of pretty neat Star Trek stuff that I’d like to display, but I’d also like to have sex again at some point in the future so I’m a little torn there.

I hung a bunch of pictures and what-not around the apartment, but I couldn’t find my tape measure before I started so I just eye-balled it. With the exception of the dagger and the battle axe, which I intentionally hung differently, everything is within an inch of everything else. Neat. Not sure what I’m going to do with my swords though. The display I originally had them in is missing pieces now and some of them are very much the worse for wear since they weren’t stored properly. Not the nice ones, but still.

Watching my Blu-ray of Rise of the Silver Surfer while I’m typing this. It’s pretty good. I can’t wait for the Avengers movie that is supposed to be in the works. If they hadn’t totally screwed the X-Men franchise they could really have made a go at serializing some of the bigger stories between the three. I would have gone for it, but that’s just me.

Spent a good portion of the day nude for the first time in a long time. Ever since the folks have moved in downstairs I’ve had to wear clothes most of the time since the view out the back windows (which look out over their driveway/front porch area) is fantastic and I wanted the blinds open. I wouldn’t care except they’ve got a twelve-year-old daughter and there’s no way that conversation is going to go anywhere unless they’re nudists too, but I’ve seen no evidence of it. Anyway, today I said screw it and closed the blinds and just relaxed. I think I got two crates unpacked and sorted but spent the rest of the day napping and watching television.

I slept a lot today. I mean a whole lot. I guess I needed it. I’m yawning now while I’m typing this, so I’m probably still tired.

I’ve got to go up to the cabin to do a massive amount of laundry before I head back to work on Tuesday. I’ve got to get everything washed so I’m good to go and don’t have to drive up there every week. Of course I’m much closer to the highway now than I was, but still. I’ll have to ask the folks at Lowe’s which of the two units goes on the bottom when you stack the full-sized washer and dryer I’m looking at. Hopefully it’s the washer, so I can buy that ahead of the dryer and have the ability to do my work clothes here at the apartment again. Still have to go somewhere else for whites and linens until I get the washer too.

I need to get a desk for the computer. I also need to get a chest of drawers for my room so I can keep my clothes out of the floor and off the guest bed, lol. I was using the built-ins in the last apartment. I just realized I never did put pictures of this place up. As soon as I get everything squared away I’ll take new ones and do that. Should be by the end of next week. Hopefully.

Not sure where I’m going to hang my "I love me" stuff. You know, certificates from work, my diplomas, that kind of thing. It’s just rude to hang them in the living room.

OK, that’s all I’ve got for today, I’m gonna pass out here in a minute. Good night everyone!
