Busy weekend. My dad and stepmom (hereafter referred to as my parents, to save on typing time) came to visit the same day we started moving. So they saw the house in various stages of disarray, but never in array. 
Currently, most of the boxes are unpacked in the main body of the house. The kitchen looks great, the living room is coming together, and...

I'm sitting here on my new green couch, one of the most comfortable pieces of furniture I've ever owned, surfing the net with the 'puter on my lap, enjoying the luxury of the wireless internet that EnergyChannel just hooked up. Boxes are in every corner of the house, but we still have walkways. Man, this place is fucking sweet. This couch is fucking sweet. Harold...

We got the keys to the house today! We don't get the U-haul until Wed. evening, but I think I'll start moving stuff today in my car. I'm so excited!
Damn, and now I have the Pointer Sisters stuck in my head.

After 7 bookstore boxes and 10 liquor boxes, I've got about 75% of my stuff packed. The rest of it is clothes and toiletries and the like, stuff I kinda need up until the very last minute. I am blowing off shows and parties and social interaction this Saturday night in favor of sporadic packing and computer play. I only feel mildly pathetic.

You can move furniture with your mind?

I'll be out cleaning the old apartment most of tomorrow. I hope to be home early (8-ish). My phone still is out-of-order as well. You can write my work email if you wanna set up a time after that.
I got plenty of boxes with your name on 'em.

We got home from Pirate Thursday sometime after 2:00 and went to bed sometime around 3:00. At 5:00 I woke up, not being able to sleep anymore. Here it is, 6:45, and I'm still awake. I attribute it to the coffee shake I consumed earlier in the evening, as I'm highly intolerant to coffee and it makes me jittery and highstrung. Now I'm at that...

That is the style I want or close to it just for a couple hundred less. I think I am just going to have to figure it out at ikea.

Ahhhh, the cloudy weather has returned. 
The packing process continues as boxes are slowly being acquired. I went to a video store yesterday and the dude said he was bringing in boxes for me from his other job today, but I have not heard from him yet, so here's hoping he calls soon. He apparently works at a bank, and bank boxes are great because...

The closer you get to the big day, the more likely packing in garbage bags will begome acceptable.
recoveringmale:
Fred Meyer produce usually has a bunch of boxes to give away, which are a good size for books. Bars too, as they go through so much beer...
Yes indeed, thankful for the cooler weather. Moving day for me as well, and so glad I'm doing it today and not a few days ago in the heat. Pirate tonight will be fun and a welcome respite from lugging boxes across town.

It's Friday. I move in less than two weeks. That one box remains empty, but EnergyChannel is bringing more from his work, so I will motivate and begin the packing process.
Anything to remain inside, away from the 90 degree weather busily roasting the fine residents of Portland as I type. I burn far too easily to risk leaving the house before 5:00.
Guess that...

Oh, and I hear on you on the dream for visible eyebrows... I have an awesome lil make up brush and some eyeshadow that matches my hair color.
It makes such a huge difference!

So, uh, did everyone who had Louise as one of their favorites somehow lose another favorite as well? Because I'm down to three now, and I'm not sure why. Oh weird, it even shows that Jayne is still my fifth favorite, but she doesn't show up on my profile page. That would explain why other people are down to three now, since I bet Louise...

Sweeeeet. We got the house we wanted to rent!!! Very exciting, trust me. Now comes the time to pack and figure out where to get boxes. Anyone have any ideas?
We also got on the list for the Pixies/Death Cab/Decemberists show in Bend in September. Now we just need to make lodging arrangements.
Okay, now I have a lot to do. Unemployment is coming in...

If I wasn't moving myself I would gladly help. That week is going to be insane though. I'm moving on the 27th, cleaning and unpacking all before catching a bus to Bend the following Friday.
I found a really swank apartment on Hawthorne. It's been overwhelmingly decided that I'm too idiosyncratic for the roommate life. I put in my application today and I'll find out tomorrow if I got it..
Two months free rent...

Making love stay has eluded me so far, but it's brought me to where I am now, so no complaints.
I've really been in a Tom Robbins mood lately. I want to go back to Even Cowgirls Get The Blues and reread all of them.

Too early to be awake. Sheesh, I never even woke up this early when I had a job. We're off to Seattle to spend the day with EnergyChannel's son and his brother ghostlisted. We're leaving in about 20 minutes and will return sometime before midnight. Because we're nocturnal creatures, we're doing this on approximately 3 hours of sleep.
Beware, Washington...

Been awhile since I updated. Suppose it's time to do that.
Not much to report, other than EnergyChannel and I found a house that we want to rent, and we should know by early next week if we got it. It's pretty much exactly what we wanted, 3 bedroom, decent size, front and back yard, ample closet space, and a practically brand new washer/dryer. It's...

Today was the first day in a few weeks that I was without my partner in crime. So, left to my own devices, I went on a long walk, bought a hat that will come in handy in the winter, and put off eating until I was seated in the movie theater with a huge bag of popcorn in my lap. Being the dork that...

I've heard a lot about Iron and Wine, but haven't checked them out yet. I'll definitely do that in the near future.

My very own piece of the 50s indeed. I'm getting increasingly excited about this possibility.
