Firepit ahoy!
As of today, we’ve crossed the threshold of no return on moving to a house a mile from our lovely apartment. Giving our notice was surreal, because our favorite curmudgeon passed this spring, and was replaced by … a curmudgeon of identical caliber. She was reluctant to give us paper for our written notice.
The new place is on a hill in a forest clearing with a few other houses – it has a private back yard (nudist volleyball? eh?! eh?!) with a fire pit, and a washer and dryer. There are a lot of things about it that would make it a PITA to own, but we’re not looking to own it. If our internets and our electricals work, we are golden.
Of course, nothing happens in a vacuum. There are a ton of things happening this month, and we’ll probably be stopping at the house every day to shuffle off a few more boxes (hey, do you have any boxes?). By the time Labor Day weekend comes, we’re hoping to ONLY be moving furniture. And by we, I mean you. :D We’ll feed and celebrate and thank profusely, but the time is not ripe to talk of such things! Soon, my pretties…
Right now, I’m just thinking about the relaxacon coming up, Construct. I’m supposed to be running Geek Family Feud, though I haven’t done the work yet – today and tomorrow are my only days on that one! Additionally, we’re doing Papercraft Minecraft, which will be super fantastic. Anyone want to cut out a few hundred papercraft objects? :D
PS This is my first post on Brainwaves of Sken (having transferred the last ten years of blogging from Livejournal). I am still figuring out how I want to use the commenting system – I’d love to allow people to log in using LJ, Twitter, or Facebook, but I haven’t found the right plug-in for WordPress.
I am testing the new login system! This is a google ID.
This is a twitter login.
This is not convenient. I don’t want to actually handle users – just allow users from other domains to log in and post. I’ll have to keep searching.
Cool. You live across the street from the old Mead’s Mill ruins.
