So, I have moved. I am now living in the two bedroom apartment behind my favorite restaurant: Peggy Sue’s Cafe. From the outside it looks like one long building. Surprisingly, the apartment takes up more of the building than the restaurant. At least on the main floor. There is no basement or upstairs. The great thing is that my rent includes electric, heat, water, and garbage/recycling! Pictures to follow.

Because, You Know, It Is Funny!
It never gets old!
Equinox Cleaning!
Let see; I have one load of laundry washed, dried, and hung. I have another load in the washing machine just waiting for me to put it in the dryer. I vacuumed. I swept and mopped the bathroom and kitchen floors. I dusted off my TV, the stand, and the various electronic boxes on the stand. And to top it all off, I mowed the lawn! Damn, I kicked butt!
Oh, and I also set up an old set of computer speakers in the living room and connected my iPod to them so that I could rock out while cleaning!
Now? Time for a bike ride!
Update: I forgot – I also cleaned the refrigerator!

And This Is Why We Cannot Communicate
I did alright. You try and pronounce each word correctly as you read this out loud.
How Did I Not Know About This?
First; congratulations on the Hugo Award John Scalzi.
Second; Wow.
Written eight years ago and I am just now learning about that post.
Interesting
Both facebook and twitter are down. At least for me. Anyone else with this problem?
Update: Okay, now they are back.
The Storm That Passed In The Evening
Granted, it was nothing like what I videoed on Thursday night. Indeed, it was rather tame by most standards. Yet it knocked out my power around 9:00 PM and I did not see it restored until 3:00 AM. And then only after I finally managed to get to my power company’s webpage to report the outage. I figured they were working on it; I had flickers of power throughout the night so I did not immediately try to contact them. And when I did attempt my cell phone had a hell of a time getting to the site.
In the end, it is 7 hours of electricity for which I do not have to pay!
Oh, and I also picked up a new wireless router. My old beast, at least 11, maybe 12 years aged, finally stopped working properly. I could connect to it, but I could not get the internet except through a network cable from one of its ports. So I am now a proud owner of a much newer – and faster – wireless router! Hell, I did not realize how much slower the old beast was; my emails download at almost 8 times the speed. The real test was upgrading my new TVs software – what took over half an hour on the old router took all of 8 minutes on my new router! I was so happy that I did my happy dance. Thankfully I was not in public. I did scare my cats. It took them 24 hours before they would show themselves to me.
Everybody is a critic.
It Was A Dark & Stormy Night
Right after filming this video the hail started falling and the wind picked up.
