Well, my stuff is here. And boy does that just make me feel a whole lot better. I have my stuff. I don't feel like a complete mooch anymore. I have my computers, they're set up on my desk (which rocks) I have my cloths (which means I don't have to wear the exact same cloths every day. Man, I just feel more settled.

But this also brings me to why I'm THAT geek. Looking around my room, and having put a bunch of my stuff up, I've noticed that I have some seriously geeky interests. And I partake in them hardcore. Like, I have a lot of anime. I'm not like the wall-o-Anime at suncoast, but for someone who's basically been broke in terms of buying things as Anime, I have a good deal. And then I've got a bunch of video games and boxes of games that I just decided to display because I'm a geek like that. Once again..very dorky. Right now, I have my Playstation sitting on top of my XBox. And I can only think, I am officially, that guy. And I'm not going to go into the computers thing. Just check that section in the about me for more details.

But seriously, I'm into Anime, Computers, Video Games and I'm getting into Gaming. I have a web comic blanket on my bed, and I have more clocks than most normal people. I am a pretty serious geek.

The thing is, I'm happy this way. I have my own personal geek-lair. My own, fortress of solitude. I'm comfortable that way. All of my geeky stuff. Hmmm…happy…

Alright, time for bed. Sleep good.

Life and Times

I just had a talk with Nicole about how we sometimes overcomplicate things. It's interesting to see how people will allow a train of thought to progress so far, that they can easily lose sight of the basic issue. The thing is, I can't say that I am superior to others because I don't do this, because I do. It seems that, whenever I flip out over something, it's because I merely over-complicated the issue.

Take for instance this website. In order for me to upload the blog, it uses something in the order of two or three pages (I don't really remember since it's been almost a year and a half since I last made any real changes to the code). Now, what's silly is that, to do the same job, I really only need to use one page, I just don't. This is the kind of thing that I allow to happen. Just getting carried away. It's very weird how that happens.

So, besides this, life is going alright. My room finally feels like it's my actual living space. I picked up a desk chair today (which I am currently sitting at) and I got a TV. Nothing big, spent about 300 dollars for both, but they both allow me to feel more at home. Plus I don't have to unplug Steve's XBox to play mine.

The room should feel even more like mine after tomorrow, because that's when my stuff is supposed to be delivered. Unfortunatly, I don't know what time, so I may have to leave work at a random time. Either way, it's not going to take too long. They will show up, drop off boxes. Then we'll drive to Bothel where my storage place is, I'll unload the truck, grab some stuff I want to bring back to the apartment, and then unpack. Unpacking will probably take me till this weekend, but I hope to get most of it done quickly. (There really isn't all that much that has to be unpacked, seeing as how I don't have that much stuff. So yeah.

As for my car, the city of Redmond sided with the woman. I don't want to try to understand the “logic” that was used. So I'm going to have an insurance agent look at my car this week and I will then promptly have my car fixed. That'll definetly make me feel better about that. I'm not looking forward to having to spend the money to do so, but there really isnt all that much I can do about that.

Yeah, that's about all there is for that. Life is otherwise good. Living with Meghan and Steve is good. They're very cool people, and they make me feel very comfortable to be here. And the cat is even warming up to me. So that's good. Alright, time for me to go, I need to get up so I can get into work somewhat early. Later.

Life and Times

Well, the past couple of days have been rather mellow. Not much has been going on. My furniture did come in on Saturday, which was good. I have bedding and stuff. The rest of the weekend was spent just chilling. I did go to the mall on Monday with Meghan and Steve.

I'm actually very excited about having a bed. I've never had furniture that I wanted before. Everything I've ever had has been picked out for me, or handed down to me. This is the first time I've ever been able to get the kind of stuff I want. I bought the bed I wanted, the dressor I wanted, and I finally found a computer desk that has space for what I have. It's awesome. Plus my room is in order. Or closer to it. I still don't have all my stuff, but it's getting better.

That's about it. Life is going alright. My car is a mess, and I haven't had time to take it to be looked at. I'm thinking I'll do that this weekend. Get the estmate from Mazda to see what they can do. Hopefully it won't be too much. I got an estimate from the woman's insurance figuring the work to be under 1000 bucks. I have a feeling more will have to be done to it. I'm not totally happy about that, but that's life. *Shrugs* I'll find out how much needs to be fixed and go from there.

Work is good. We've been in a bit of a lull, but we're about to come out of it. I've felt a bit unsettled by it, but then again, I'm used to constant work, so having a down time is very weird. Things will begin picking up tomorrow, which is good. And it'll be a fun few weeks as we get ready for the next phase of our project.

Besides that, I talk to Nicole every night. I miss her like crazy. I'll get to see her in just about four weeks, which just can't seem to go by fast enough. We both have a lot to do, but I wish I could see her sooner. I really miss her. The past week and a half has been pretty rough on my psyche. Not as bad as the end of last semester, but still not all that stellar. I think what I've wanted most was just a hug. Nicole always seemed to make things better. That's what my Dad always syas about my mother and the Bar exam. Yup…

So that's all there is for now. I'm going to curl up underneath my nice new sheets and go to bed. I need the sleep. Night all.

Life and Times

I never realized how much TV is focused around the central theme of people being in relationships. I haven't been watching much TV, but what TV I do watch tends to be all about people dating people. The thing is, it just makes me miss Nicole.

There really isn't all that much to say today. Nothing major has been going on, well, at leat today. This weekend should be fun. Going to be putting my stuff together. Hopefully I'll get my stuff in the next two weeks. Yup, getting settled in. That's what I really want. i want my stuff. I've spent a good deal of time without it.

Alright, I'm done talking. I haven't said much of anything, and I should go to bed. I want to get up early tomorrow. Night.

Life and Times

And for the first time since I left my parents house in July, I have internet at home. And even better, it's broadband. High Speed cable modem to be exact. I still only have my craptop, but it's better than nothing. At least I can make blog posts from home and spend some time doing research here.

The rest of the day wasn't so good, and I don't want to go into it right now. I just had a long day. Broadband definetly made me feel Better. As well as having connectivity. Sigh….

I wish I had my bed stuff right now, but that's going to be a few days. I need to get pillows and linens and stuff. A chair would also be good, since I currently don't have one for the computer desk I bought. Maybe I'll get one this weekend. Since I have broadband, and I have my laptop.

Before I head to bed, I just wanted to mention that if you are looking for a good ethernet bridge, you may want to look into the XBox wireless adapter. It requires an xbox to set up, but once it's up and running, it works just like a standard bridge. I'm currently using one to give my laptop wireless connectivity and using another on my XBox. It's all 802.11g and it's working pretty well.

Ok, it's time to sleep. Alright, night all.
