I have fallen off the wagon. It used to be that I was in line to see every movie.. Now I hardly see any.. And I’ve resisted this summer’s hype.
I really have.
But this..
This…
Take a look at the first Six minutes of Batman: The Dark Knight
And tell me that ain’t beautiful.
Geek friends, we will be watching it on Thursday night, getting in line on Tuesday night. That’s how excited I am.
In other news, the house continues to be built. The painter painted the wrong color outside, blinds have been bought, appliances have been bought (some at 20% off) and I found some problems with the house, and pinball machines will be making their way from Utah.
Who ever knew that buying a house would be this much stress.
And this much appliance lust.
Which, if you know me, means I spent all day Saturday looking up reviews on all my appliances.
Because they will cost so much
And I’m still not sure they will fit.
In other exciting news. I have packed, count them, two boxes. Pretty proud of that actually.. I’m more of the guy who packs the night before, until turns into the day of the move.
For those of you, who use Internet Explorer (and oh, I pity those of you who have not converted unto Firefox), the sidebar should be working.
So, that means it’s time for me to upgrade the blog software again!
Well sometime.
When I’ve moved.
I’m also paranoid that I’m not going to have Internet at the house. And for someone like me, that can be very bad. Internet access withdrawl? I’ll go and live at a Starbucks, or a Taco Johns to satisfy my craving. Not addicted. Nope. Not I.
Back to the Casa (And for those of you who read yesterday, I goofed.. Read it again, it was much longer!). Here are one or two additional photos to whet one’s appetite.
Ooooooo Walk in Closet…
Sexy, Sexy basement.
Look at that breaker Box.. Scandelous
Ohh… And here is some Kitchen Stuff to drool over.
My much lusted after dual-fuel range
The microwave..
I’ll save the fridge, washer and dryer for some other time.. Can’t overwhelm people all at once.
Hmmm… With all this appliance lust, I better start using them…
To give some background.. I live in an apartment currently. Some like to call it a dungeon, others just like to call it my man cave.. But recently I got the “Buy a house” bug again, and went looking.
My Realtor, Joe Prunty went with me as I checked out house after house.
After house.
I do think he figures I was crazy. I would look around a house, then go running into the basement.
Because, being the computer nerd I am, I have to live in the basement, and eat Ho-Ho’s and Hot Pockets.
Wait.
That’s not why I was looking.
In reality, I could do without the house.. Part of me, just doesn’t want to deal with all the work that involves getting a house. Alas, my two hobbies, Pinball and Home theater, are not conducive to living in a apartment. So, I was scoping out the basement at each house.
Then I found the little spec house. My own little spec of suburbia. It’s nice, but in reality, I’m just concerned about three things
1) My kitchen. Ohhh, gonna have a Dual Fuel Range, an Awesome Fridge, and some of the best washer and dryers I can find (Really, really thinking of getting a fridgidare front loader). Also going for the oval pot holder thingy, and lots and lots of outlets.
2) Basement room to put my pinball machines in. And the MAME Cabinet, and the video games. I think with the video games, I’m up to like 16 Pinball machines and 7 Video games. Ohh, My family will enjoy moving me.
3) Basement room for My Kick Butt Home Theater. Well. Initially, it won’t be that kick butt.. But I’m trying to figure a way to ceiling mount the projecter, then do some decorating. Like getting a guitar wall mount for my Rock Band guitar. You know, the non obsessive stuff.
If you have any questions, just leave them in the comments. I’ll do my best to answer.
If you want to send me some amazing type of housewarming gift, I’ll send you the new address
