I have some time before I go eat lunch. So, I thought I'd sit (lay) and write for a little bit.
The past few days have seen my luck change for the better. I have ordered a laptop from Dell, with the intent of selling this one. I got an Inspiron 9300, complete with Windows Media Center and the TV tuner. So, I'll be able to record live TV, and put it on DVD. That is sweet, and I'm looking forward to it. I should be getting it this week, though I messed up the address, and now have to get that fixed, or I won't see it for a month.
This laptop has been good to me, but it's time to upgrade.
I'm moving this weekend, and one of the things I have to do is sell a few things before I go. What I'm looking to sell is the following:
- a couch
- a part of a desk
- maybe a television
- maybe a coffee table
I should be moving a bunch of stuff tomorrow, and a bunch of stuff on Wednesday/Thursday. I have a van to move the big stuff, so that is good news. It means FREE (of course, some gas may need to be put in). I don't have a lot of things, and I guess that's a good thing.
This past weekend was a good one. I was out until 3am on Saturday, up at my new place. Josh, Geoff, Tiffany and I played cards until 2:15, at which point I took Geoff and Tiffany home. There was a tournament that started at 7, and I finished third out of 15 in that one, pocketing $25. I won $7 in the cash game (was a .5/.10 NL game). I played pretty strong throughout (it was four-handed, and short-handed is something I enjoy a bit more now), and was never down in chips the entire time. I had actually doubled up, but I did lose some of that on a couple loose hands.
My schedule this week is as follows:
Monday - Go eat at 11. Do my paperwork. Pack. Drop my paperwork off at Aaron's to get signed. Play basketball until 5:15. Go to poker at 6 and at 9:30. Come home. Pack. Go to bed.
Tuesday - Pack. Work at 1. Come home, pack. Go watch Jen and Leandra play softball. Try to drop some stuff off at Josh's.
Wednesday - Call and cancel everything associated with the apartment. Go to PSECU, order a new credit card. Pack. Hang out with Em in the evening.
Thursday - Pack. Work at 1. Play basketball at 4. Go to Doc's Thursday night. Hopefully get all my stuff sold by then.
Friday - Pack. Move. Pack. Move. Pack. Move. Pack. Move.
Saturday - Move the big things. Hopefully I'll be done by then.
I'll be happy when the move is over. Sad, but happy. This long, confusing chapter in my life is finally coming to a close. Not that I really want it to...but all things end, I guess.
Download of the day: acoustic version of Africa, the Toto song. Howie Day is reported to sing it, though I'm not sold on that. Well, maybe he does. I have no idea.
One last thought: I keep telling myself I need to write, and that I will write...but then I never do it. It's like I have this complex, which is part lack of ideas, part laziness, and part fear of emoting. This was pretty easy, and the writing has been coming a bit easier the past week or so. I need to start up my USBL dynasty again; maybe I'll do that late tonight, after I've settled in for the evening. I have 1950 halfway done, and could wrap that up tonight without a problem. But I'd also like to get into some stories. Once I have ideas, maybe I will.
