at home today — and by home i mean our nice shiny NEW home, hooray! — waiting for the directv guy to do his thing and set us up. he’s using little gizmos that make strange beeping noises to figure out which wires go where between our apartment and the roof, and i’m just crossing my fingers that in a few hours we have a TV set up and ready to rock.

the move is going well. other than being nervous as hell driving the massive u-haul truck, and our mail-box keys not working and needing to be replaced, there haven’t been any major hitches yet. after all day saturday and sunday, and a few solid hours of help moving big stuff from my awesome buddies, i think i’m about 90% done. unless you count the deep-cleaning of the old place before we fully vacate, another fun few hours of work i’m not really looking forward to. at this point i’m totally sore, exhausted, and dirty. it’s been a long couple days.

it’ll all be soooo worth it though after a bit more work, and i can’t wait for it to be over. then i’ll have a spiffy new place where my girlfriend and i can just kick back on our new couch, put our feet up on our new coffee table, and enjoy basking in the aura of freshness. aaaaaahh.
