Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it "The Big Move," since this place is very temporary. We may be there a bit longer than we hope, but we aren't going to be there for extremely long. I put a lot of my stuff in storage, including my comics and most of my old computer stuff... if something busts, it could be several days before I can fix it. And I'll be much farther from a library (I don't think anyone in this neighborhood is big on "Twitter," let us say).
But that's being ugly - and quite harsh - after all, the neighbors behind us were nice enough to let us run an extension cord from their house long enough to vacuum. And once we got some of our furniture and things in there, it felt a little more like "home." Hell, by the time we got the second load over there, I already knew where the holes in the floor were!
I'd love to take some time off and just be - I'm hurting, I'm bone-weary, and I'm under-nourished (and not hungry, which scares me), but I don't have any. Tomorrow, I have to get the mail forwarded, the phone moved, and all such. And there's still really a whole house of shit. I'm going to breakdown and part with a lot of it... years of Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, and more. I figure they've, you know, served me as well as they're going to, since they've been setting at my parents' house for however many years and setting under the bed here for the last two-three... I'm keeping all the years of Wired and so on.
Anyway, this is already far longer than I'd intended. I should be here for at least part of the day tomorrow and then throughout the week until Thursday-Friday. Some guest DJs would be nice, but I can't promise anything.

So, I've literally busted my ass (and my hip - the truck bed's door was ajar and when I lifted my side of the futon, it fell open and literally came to rest on my right hip!) for the last two days, moving. I'm worn-out, hurting, and legitimately tired. I've already figured out that my key reference books were accidentally rerouted to storage and there's no way to get to them for at least another two-three weeks... I just ate my fourth 800mg Ibuprofen since about 6p tonight
AND I'M STILL WIDE AWAKE!
