What, it’s only 11:38? I feel like it’s at least 2 am. I think I need a dr pepper. I’ll go return some library books, get them out of the way, and pick up a dr pepper.
you need to know these things.

I’ve pretty much accepted the fact that not everything will be packed. I’m guessing the kitchen will probably not make the cut. Which means I will have to come back, pack it, and move it myself. Which is not that bad, because I have a hand truck and I can borrow Ron’s truck. I also don’t think I will have time to remove everything from the walls before they get here. Again… another thing that can wait. What can’t wait is all the heavy stuff. The furniture and boxes of books, cd’s, dvd’s, etc. Oh well, I’ve have to come back to clean a little anyway. and I do mean A LITTLE. Let them use my deposit to hire cleaners. I’m totally cool with that.

Kermit the Frog – It’s Not Easy Being Green
Pru is still here. I’m going to take her over to the house early in the morning. I don’t want her spending her first night there without me. My baby kitty. Besides, if I am going to stay up all night, I’m going to need her to keep me company.

snug as too many bugs in a very crowded rug
Oh man… my stepdad is great. I told him I was moving in on the 29th, and he thought I meant Saturday. Nope. Tomorrow. He’s totally not ready for me to move in, and I am totally not ready to move out, but the movers are showing up any way. The good news is he found a place to live. A little cottage on the water and the rent is less than my rent here! Hooray!! So this weekend is going to consist of a whole bunch of stuff shuffling. But there are two rooms that are completely empty, and ready for me: my bedroom and the bathroom. What more do you need, huh?
You would not believe how much stuff you really have, until you try to put it into boxes. I was packing my bathroom, thinking – small room, not much stuff. Oh how wrong I was.
I have not had time to do any research for my NaNoWriMo project. I am glad that I have next week off as well, and more time to write, as I am going to take a little time to plan out some essential elements. Since it is a murder mystery. Other than that, I’m winging it, again. I figure one of three things will happen. One – it sucks ass. Two – it turns out ok, despite the seat of my pants writing technique. Three – it turns out to be more of an exercise in preparing for a mystery, than a mystery itself. That is to say, i will be working out a lot of details as I go along. At the end of the 50k, I might have prepared myself to THEN write a mystery. Who knows.
An important announcement about commenting. Kids, I am sick of spam. It makes me so angry. I don’t like to be angry. So here is what I am going to do. I am going to turn on registration needed. It works like this, if you have a type key ID, your comment will show up immediately. If you do not, you will have to wait for my approval. The benefit of a type key ID is that it is a single sign on for any MovableType blog that requires it. One user name, one password, all access. It’s private, and none of your information is sold to anyone. Go check it out, I encourage you to get one. I’ve already encountered a couple of blogs that require it. I will, however, hold off on this change until I have internet access at Casa Nueva de los Hodi. And I am pretty Jodi-on-the-spot about checking comments, so approval shouldn’t take too long. I wish there was a way to require approval only once, but I can’t find a way. Life is not perfect.
Satan’s bookclub… because God hates an open mind.
I’ve been trying to think up tag lines for Satan’s bookclub. That one above is my favorite so far, but I’m not satisfied with it. We’ll see if something better comes to mind. It should be easier for me to work on it once I move. However, it’s also the beginning of NaNoWriMo. And I am not sure when i will have internet access at the house. I haven’t arranged for it yet. Did mention that in a previous post? It feels familiar…. oh well. The point is, I may not have that much time, in November, to work on it. Louise and I still have a photo shoot we need to do, and then some photoshopping. That’s the most time consuming part. I think I will make Louise do the photoshopping.
I’ll be up all night finishing the packing. That is just how I am. I don’t move fast until there is danger. Movers showing up at 8 am, who are paid by the hour, is danger. The danger has to be imminent. Really really imminent. It’s ok, I’m a night person. And once everything is moved, which shouldn’t take that long, I can take a nap. I looooove napping. So don’t think of this as waiting to the last minute LIKE AN IDIOT. Think of this as a way to set up a required napping situation. God, I am brilliant!
I was listening to Dracula, while packing my desk… Bram Stoker sure did like to use his words, didn’t he. The story does drag a bit, in places. By far, my favorite narrating character is Dr. Seward. I feel very sorry for him, for having his proposal turned down. But, in the end, I guess it didn’t matter… Lucy’s fate was a short one. I am sort of anxious to finish it up, as I have received a notice from the library telling me that “Wizard and Glass” is ready for me to pick up. It’s the 4th book in the Gunslinger series. I think.. yeah, the 4th. Anyway, both the 4th and the 5th books are ready for me to pick up. And I’ve been waiting a long time for them. I can’t believe I didn’t just go out and buy the books and read ’em.
Okay, that is enough procrastinating, I am going to go pack up the bathroom.
