An Important Lesson in Life

Do not use Dishsoap inside your diswasher. Unless you want to flood/mop your entire kitchen at once.

I probably should have taken pictures before I cleaned. :( / :D

Almost a Month?

Jesus fuck why did I go this long without updating my blog? I feel like Bryan or someone. Well anyways I have a lot to talk about and not really any want to type that much so this might be a long post or it might not be... a long post.

First things first.

Moved
My last post I was just informed that we have 90 days to get moving. This post I am here to inform you that we have found, and relocated to - a new place. It's about a mile away from the old place and it's 100% better in every respect. How much better do you say? Well let me list out the reasons.






















  F205 (old place) E307 (new place) Winner
Space 2bed 1bath. Bathroom was big, but kitchen was really really small. 3bed 2bath. Jesus christ this place is so much bigger and nicer. Vaulted celings and the works. E307
Price 880/mo. 950/mo. Well figuring we are getting more space, better looking place and a third room I'm not sure on this one. I'm going to call it for E307 however.
Parking 1 spot. Car was broken into. Friend's car stolen. Right outside door. Do I honestly need to even pick a winner there?
Grounds Has a pool, couldn't use it. Pool, spa, weight room all available for use to anyone there. I hate F205

One thing that is really nice about this is we are paying for a 2bed 2bath and getting an extra bedroom. What happened was we signed the lease for E307, the apartment we are in now. It has been the one we have had our eye on for quite some time now and when we went up to do the walkthrough with the matainence guy we noticed we had a third bedroom. The odd part is nobody seems to notice this was... wrong. Not him, the intern, the property manager herself, nobody. So until we get caught (which would be major suckage) we get to enjoy this really nice place for cheap right now. And even if we are called on it the rent for this floorplan is only $1145 max, which is easily split three ways.

It kind of just keeps following that pattern so I'll just stop right there. I've snapped a few pictures of the place, but it's hard with my amature photo skills to capture how awesome it feels once you're inside, the sense of space is just amazing.

When we did move our internet was shutoff on the 15th, then rehooked up on the 17th. Or at least that was the plan. I was supposed to be awake at 10am on the 17th for the Comcast dude to come and hook up the 'net. I swear on my life I was up at 10am, working on my computer because it wasn't working right then. But apparently when Eevee went to go check outside for any note he did find a note from Comcast telling us to call and reschedule. No problem at all, just give a little ring and the soonest they would get here is... the 23rd. :|

Now that may not sound like a big deal to normal people but when you have 3 people in a house that do nothing BUT chill on the internet you are asking a lot. So to kill the time I played a lot of Warcraft 3. It was a lot of fun because I got to learn a lot of warcraft lore, which I probably should know figuring I drop 20+ hours into WoW a week. The sad part is now that I have internet I probably will not be playing that game or any other of my single-player games for a very long time :P
