Livin it One Day at A Time

So.

I like making the food.

While in Utah with Family, I bought a bowl of this paste. Tonight I made some Yellow Curry.

Put in some
Potatoes
Carrots
Chicken
Onions
Peas

And some Coconut Milk.

It was good.

So good, I feel like exploding.

Exploding good.

Just when you thought I was gone. I go and start putting in topsoil for some SOD!

Some Video goodness coming.

So..

I could be spending time working on the house.. You know, painting, cleaning out the garage, paying bills, selling my plasma so I can pay my little brother for buying electrical stuff, vacumming. You know. That kinda stuff.

So I get home on Friday.

And my wireless isn’t working.

And this is a catastrophie..

Wait. Scratch that.

It’s a national disaster.

So I do what any self respecting geek would do. I go online, get the firmware upgrade for the router, save my old config, and upgrade the config.

I then restore the old config.

At this point, a big red light starts glowing solid.

In my profession, big red lights are not something you hope for every day, in fact they are bad. To give you an idea of how bad, go watch a episode of Battlestar Galactica, which is a geek’s show. Notice the mechanical Cylons.

Do they have nice green eye thingies? No.

It’s a big red light.

That’s the stuff of a geek’s nightmares.

And it’s staring me right in the face.

At this point, I have a choice. Throw the router in the garbage and buy a new one.

Or spend two full days, and a night using a paperclip to short out parts of the flash on the motherboard.

I think you know which one I picked.

And it didn’t involve garbage.

So this morning, I had a idea hit me. And I got in, through a kludgy system of shorting the board, upgrading linksys firmware, upgrading to a mini dd-wrt firmware (all this over wireless, which is a big no no) and finally upgrading to a standard firmware.

And after four days of red light. It’s green. And I’m a freakin genius.

So.

The House.

I keep getting asked “Are you all moved in?”

If, by moved in, you mean “Do you have boxes and boxes of stuff squirreled away in the other rooms, to make it look like everything is unpacked?”

I’d have to say yes.

Otherwise, I’m just slowly moving towards emptying boxes. Maybe a box a week. So, I should be done and “moved in” sometime in 2013. If I counted the boxes all correctly

And I don’t get anymore boxes.

And I never clean.

Or make food.

Or go to work.

On the plus side, my interior decorator, Jill (she is available for consultation), has done a pretty good job at figuring out how to show my personality in the home. In the next few weeks, I’ll try to get some pictures posted to show the amazing job she’s done.

I really needed the help because the house would be, well, more bachelorrific, without that (like the house would just be a transplant of my old apartment.)

Except for the appliances.

Ohh the sweet sweet appliances.

And thanks to Jill I’ve got some kicking porch chairs..

Take a look

Behold the ski chairs.

And no

I haven’t been working in the coal mines all day either.

After a very stress full friday (except for the Greek festival, where there was Greek food (sadly no Italian)) I zoned out for most of the weekend.

Then way too early Monday morning I has an itchy throat. Now I have a sore throat, have a humidifier making boiling noises at me and I have smeared vapor rub all over my chest.

This is so fun I tell you

Takes away all the fun of playing Rock Band 2……..

To make my father happy. I’ve started updating the wordpress instillations.

And things are breaking.

Which I figured.

So.

I got house things to do.

And Ipod Touches to play with.

So, I’ve been inviting Brian, Crystal, and Braxton over for Taco Salad, um, every night now, and conveintly they already have plans and invite me over instead.

I’m thinking it’s the Taco Salad.. Can’t be the strawberry milkshakes afterwards…

So.. In honor of you

Oh, and I know I said I would review Dark Knight, but I have been too busy spreading the good word of Dark Knight and the Joker.
