Dysfunctional Disjunction

I have an apartment.

I also have many many details to attend to. Managing my borrowed money. Making sure I pay the right people for the right things at the right time. Getting all the things one needs to live modern life in a modern place. Kitchen things. Office things. Bathroom things. Closet things.

I have internet access. Now. That'll make things easier. A printer would be a fine idea too. What kind of printers do Macs like?

I have a desk on top of which I can put my computer (that has internet now, did I mention that?). I also have an office chair. I got these from the pile of furniture across the street. How did I make it up a flight of stairs w/ a big desk, you ask? Christian helped me.

Who's Christian? Good question. Christian is a guy I helped move an abandoned beer pong table 3 blocks down Comm. Ave. His friend stacy really wanted it for her apartment. They were digging through abandoned sidewalk furniture w/ me, which is where we found the beer pong table (and desk, incidentally). He saw me eye balling the desk and then offered to help haul it across the street to my place. They oogled my apt. for a while and then invited me to their apt. to hang out. I got some free coke and pizza and then met their neighbors, some decidedly more yuppy looking young ladies named claire and ally. I went along for a beer run w/ them. We all hung out together on the porch out back for a while, and chatted and had awkward exchanges. Then I went home.

and repositioned my desk for the first of many times.

I've been eating PB&J and Total cereal for days, so it was just nice to get some different food in me.

I've also found the (slightly) local Goodwill. It's no VD, but it'll do. I got plates and bowls and a couple of glasses, so I can justify buying groceries.

My bathroom looks gorgeous though.

Classes start tuesday. The disjointed nature of this entry should bespeak how I feel and how I'm...functioning these days.

Godspeed.

Deep Dark Readiness

Moving to Boston soon.

I'll be in Chicago next week starting tuesday afternoon and leaving the following tuesday. If you're there and you read this, can I stay on your couch? or atleast buy you lunch?

I'm freaking out a little. So much to do in just a couple of busy days. Once I land in Boston, I bet you I'll post to Praxisoscope again. I'll just have that kinda time.

I went to a bachelor party tonight. It was kinda nuts. Still, I had a good time. Sharpies and random (not very shy) women. So crazy.

Love you all. Should get a little sleep.
Godspeed.
