The toting begins

Just dropped off the first load of boxes in the new place.

On second look, I like it even more. There’s room for 3 or 4 gaming tables for a party, 1 fewer if we want a PlayStation/DVD group or a chat group. I’ve tentatively claimed the smallest bedroom for my office, and it’s twice the size – I can get back to modeling and miniatures. I’ve found the closest grocery store, a nearby Taco Bell for Rain, and a nearby lingerie store :p And I drove from work to the house in about 17 minutes, so the commute will actually be a little shorter than my current one.

The garage will only fit one car, but we might be using it for storage at first anyway. I’m not sure where the closest Wal-Mart is either, but I do know where to find a movie theater, a Barnes & Noble, and a Best Buy within about 20-25 minutes. All very important.

Happy me!

Mysterious furniture

The house in which I’ve been renting a room has three bedrooms – one occupied by the owner and the other two rented out. Shortly after I gave the owner notice, the renter of the third bedroom disappeared with all her stuff while the rest of us were at work. This morning, as I walked by, I saw a new bed in the otherwise empty room – I hope that means that they’ve found another renter. I felt bad that the owner was losing two monthly rent checks at the same time. He’s a nice guy who didn’t blink at the notion of my attaching a wireless router to his cable modem 🙂 I’ll be dropping off the first load of stuff at the new house tonight.
