That is my new delimma. How many boxes can I fit in my bedroom and still be able to at least get to my bed…

But all in all, the packing is going smoothly. Of course, today I was planning on tackling my office at school and that is going to take a whole hell of a lot. It is amazing how I just move shit from one place to another instead of getting rid of things. I have a feeling there is going to be a big purge with this move again. Of course, this is only possible because my meeting with my boss was canceled this afternoon. Which means I have another week to get something good done on my dissertation.

I am trying to design some “change of address” cards. I was going to go with something that involved the devil and hell, since of course me and the ‘monkey will be living in sin. And though a few of my friends will find it funny, I have a feeling that my family wouldn’t think it was amusing at all and Winemonkey’s friends probably won’t even get it… well maybe they would…

The other design idea I have involves some art deco font, but I can’t come up with a good art deco decoration. So that is my big story for today.

I know that it is Murphy’s Law. It is because I am moving away from the campus and away from the super IT people that my computer is doing this to me now. It just wants to watch me squirm with worry that I will no longer have a computer. I think part of the problem is that my hard drive is busting at its proverbial seams with information. I called Dell to see if I could get a bigger hard drive, but alas, they don’t make anything bigger than what I have. It is a little scary. I think I am going to have to get a second external hard drive just to back up all of my data and music so that if this computer bites the big one, I will at least have absolutely EVERYTHING all in one place.

Dear Blue Screen of Death,

You don’t scare me. I will ALWAYS beat you. Even if I have to buy a new computer I am always one step ahead of you with my mad crazy back-up skills. So you can flash your little blue heart out. I will not panic. I will not PANIC!

Sincerely,

Your irritated nemesis

No…..no I would not like to go bowling with you and your current girlfriend and some friends. And yes, yes I do think that would be too weird. Who does he think he is talking to? Really? After a year long hiatus, one phone call is not going to suddenly make us friends. We were never friends in the first place and to be honest I probably would never have been friends with him….ever. So why start now? Just because we spent three years of our lives together, miserable? Sorry, but I don’t really care to relive that.

Other than the bowling invite, my weekend consisted of going out with an old co-worker, relaxing, and exercising. I really miss my ex-co-worker. She is a ton of fun. Yes, you heard me J….you are a ton of fun!

But the clincher of the weekend was on Saturday when I started my day how every other day should start out….with a massage. Mmmmmmm…a massage. It was wonderful. The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with friends and playing racquetball. All in all I must say that it was a glorious weekend. I think now I am going to go for a long overdue walk since for the first time this month it is not raining outside. It has rained something like 20 days this month. TWENTY! That is alot of freakin’ rain.

After meeting with my new landlords, I finally made it over to see Christopher Moore promote his new book. It was everything I wanted and more. He was so funny, what with his “beta male theory” and awesome sense of humor. He signed my first edition of Practical Demonkeeping and my copy of his new book, A Dirty Job. The picture is crappy… but that is because who really charges their camera batteries before they go and meet someone famous? Apparently I don’t. I have my camera handy to take pictures of random flowers or my craft projects, but I don’t have it prepared when I meet someone famous.

I am only one chapter into his new book because I wanted to finish the Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove before I moved on. Anyway - If he is ever in your area, he is a quirky speaker who is really funny. And his books? Fabulous.
