Ramblings from a lingophile, pseudo environmentalist, former bus driver, and DC transplant.

Blogging

Hmmm... I haven't blogged much lately. I've been pretty busy between an almost-full-time job, moving, house-sitting, socializing, and sleeping. Last night I finally managed to get all my crap unpacked and crammed neatly into every spare nook and cranny in this little room in Granny's basement. It was kind of like a puzzle figuring out where to put everything so that it wouldn't have to end up just living in the middle of my floor permanently (that spot is reserved mostly for my dirty clothes). I did have to move a few of Dwight's old appliances out into the living room to make room for my desk, but I think that's probably ok.

Despite being a small room in Granny's basement with only one electrical outlet (one with no 3-prong outlets at that!), I actually kind of like this room. It has a lot of character with the vintage 1960's red carpet and painted oak walls and dark shutters. Also, perhaps its best feature, it isn't a million degrees like my apartment was. It is also a shorter walk to the bus stop, and a shorter bike ride to school as well. And with the money that I'll save on rent I can maybe afford to have more fun. (And even though it only has one electrical outlet, at least I got some wireless cable internet set up, so I won't have to do dial-up this year).

In other news, my new job is going fine. I'd rather get paid to not work of course, but who wouldn't... Speaking of work, I should probably do some work tonight before I go to bed.

Now that I'm not at camp anymore, I can start adding YouTube videos again. In honor of my lovely new black MacBook, here is a funny spoof on the Mac commercials.

Wait! Which appliances are you talking about?? Just because I've been temporarily away from that room for a few years doesn't mean that I didn't want all of the stuff I left there. And you'd better keep my records alphabetized!

I think there's an old tape deck, and three or four other home entertainment apperati of some sort or another... And I haven't touched your records.

You need to make sure Dwight knows just what is there so he doesn't duplicate it on his wedding registry.

Just another example of all the stuff the Swanson children have left for their mom to deal with.....

KO is right. Case in point: I have heard that someone has a bird cage in the crawlspace that the homeowner can't get rid of... hindering any possibility of the homeowner being able to sell the house.

Wait a minute! The bird cage is now a decorative item in the family room. It even has fake birds in it!

It's true. It seems the birdcage has a new lease on life these days...
