Moving part 2

I've been trying (admittedly half-assed) to find the patron saint of moving, but no luck.  I've decided to go with St. Jude the patron saint of desperate situations, impossible causes, and lost causes.  Not that we're at the point in the moving process yet, but we'll there.

Here's the only way I like my saints to look, kitschy.

Now, somebody who believes in this stuff, pray to him for me!

Another book to add to my wish list

After we've recovered from the move, and our expenses level out to pre-move amounts, I will acquire this

Junko Mizuno's new art book.  I feel giddy already, I think I'll a pill...

I would also like to get ahold these JM condoms... so could proudly display them in my new home.  In some place of obscene honor.

Moving day!

Actually, it's sign the lease and get copies of the keys made day.  But still, yay!  Since moving will be a slow and painful process I intend to use the new place like a tree fort during my lunch breaks (that's right my new home is across the street from my job).  I figure that even with a lack of furniture and possessions for a while that I'll just sit on the floor with my iPod and those mini speakers M got for free.

As we continue the great baby debate...

I look forward to reading Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body.  That's one of the most common topics discusses between myself and M, as we near our 30s (although I'm further from it than she...),  is the great baby debate.  We go over the pros and cons on a fairly regular basis; they're cute, they're fun, they're loud, they eventually talk back, etc. 
So, to aide us in our decision making process we have offered to take care of a friend's baby.  Or rather, I have been offered by M to babysit for a friend of her's, while they exercise.

Anyway, here's the cover of the book, which is often the very best part of a lot of 'em...

Tomorrow's moving day! Part 1 of 20 something episodes

We get to sign the  lease for our new place tomorrow!  Which means we get keys!  Which means we've got access to our first grown-up place together.  Even though M's a grad student, and I'm busy in the process of putting off grad school, so technically we are moving as students, or semi-students.  But this is the first time we've moved without a pending school deadline...
And we're buying new furniture, instead of collecting the best items out of the Ikea "as-is-section" over the course of several years for the new place.  I'm so happy that we won't be going through a phase where we are forced to use pillows on the floor in lieu of actually seating!

This weekend!

Between feverish moving prep, and actual moving, and a possible sojourn to Palm Springs in U-Haul as part of M's fiendish plot I plan to attend;

It's only all day....
