Ok, now the part where I become kinda lazy...

Ok, so the big move is basically over. There is some light kitchen stuff to pick up at the old house, along with my computer and some quick cleaning left to do.... then I will never have to be there again. The move went pretty swimingly and the company I used: www.myamericanmovers.com were wonderful! When moving, I can easily suggest them to anyone. They were prompt (15 minutes early) didn't break anything, were quick, strong and relatively cheap. Great experience!

Now, the colors have been chosen for re-painting the livingroom, dining room and pantry, (A beautiful array of Terra Cottas and Camel Toes... Thanks Carlos for your help) and the big paint party will commence this Saturday. Next the rest of the boxes must be opened, trash must be taken out, the studio space and books must be shelved and arranged, and the plans for the big party must be solidified! We are thinking of having it Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday say between 4 and 9pm so those who have to work (our Bartender friends) can leave early, and those who want a quick bit o fun before going out can swing by and see the place. I'm very very excited to get this stuff done and share our great place with the world. I now need to just motivate myself to do it all and get my ass in gear!

More posts soon, after I get a little bit more done, some more motivation and some inspiration.... for now, enjoy the number "Lazy" from "There's no business like show business!" with Marilyn Monroe, Mitzi Gaynor and Donald O'Connor.

Here I sit in antici......pation

I boxed up the last of it merely minutes ago....and this feels so good, such a relief. The movers should be arriving in the next two hours to haul this shite for me to my new home. An all night packing fest seemed to do the trick, and there will really only be the kitchen stuff, and my computer to haul to Atwater. Why must I always procrastinate and pull miracles out of my ass. I amazingly enough got a good solid six hours of sleep last night, which refueled me for my 3 hour packing fest this morning. There is alot left to purge when I get there, as inevitably I ended up just tossing shit in boxes at the end without editing or thinking it through all that much. Tonight, I am so gonna hit "new local gay bar" for a drink with friends and finally celebrate escaping this god awful neighborhood.

For now, I'm gonna sit here and keep singin along to Lauryn Hill at the toip of my lungs and sneeze out all the dust I've inhaled over the last 14 hours...

Tomorrow.....I wake up....Home.

PS: Expect a blog post later about my viewing of the Spider-man 3 screening. All that work and long story short...it fell short..

Movin' on up!

It's time to finish packin' it all up and packin' it all in! Anyone know of any good movers, so my car won't look like this...

"moving: the saga" closin' in on the finish line

I can almost taste it.... rounding the corner and I can see the finish line, but there is just so much energy to expend before I get there! Tomorrow, we sign the lease. I'm releived and a little nervous. It's like getting on a new rollercoaster for the first time. You know basically what to expect, but there's still the fear and exhilaration that is all new, and all its own. I am releived that we got the place we did, some of the other options were far from fitting for what we were looking for. I think we had to see what sucked to see how perfect this place basically is. Now it is on to the other things at hand: Packing, which has begun and shows me just how much crap I have to pack still.... Telling the roommates I'm moving out, that will happen once I have the keys... and finding someone to move this heavy big shit, got some quotes going but still getting nervous as I hope to have it all moved by not this, but next Friday night. I don't wanna be in my current place a day longer than I have to. Here's to hoping its an affordable move and a happy experience all around.

Fun photo Friday! #5

A chandelier made of penis pumps...perhaps a useful design idea if I move...



It's not final till we get the keys, but that cool place to live may soon be ours! Let the moving fest begin!

"moving: the saga" part 2

Arrg.... We sadly lost the kinda funky, nice place that had the shower/bedroom combo (it's not as freaky as it must sound) and it was about 1 and a half blocks from "New Local Gay Bar" ...boy could that get me into some trouble. I wouldn't want this blog to be just about sex and drinking now would I? Don't answer that.

Oh Well, it's now back to the drawing board. I guess we are going to make a final stab at trying to get the Atwater place without having to sugically remove our nether regions! The bitch is just asking way too much, 6 months rent up front?! isn't that illegal?! She must really have an issue with the gays and with foreigners... Or maybe she's just a bitch and we should stay away... who knows... I'm just hoping we find a cool place to set down our lives. A place where we can all start anew in different ways/chapters of our lives... That's what we're looking for. Personally, a place where I can feel safe, calm, happy, amongst trustworthy friends and not just some assortment of strangers, and maybe even proud of where we live would be amazing. I'd love to be able to bring someone to my place and not feel like I'm inviting them into College Chic! I want to live in the "Creepy house" no more! (Some kids in my neighborhood were overheard saying that about our place.) I just want to feel at home for the first time in 3 years here. I've gotten close in my little ghetto, but it's time for something closer to that reality.
