House Hunting by Penguinsushi on March 20, 2006 at 12:59pm Well, we've started it. So far we've talked to a bank, got pre-approved, seen 1 house, driven by a couple dozen others and looked at countless listings. It's been great fun, actually. Hopefully we'll find something sometime this year. It would be kinda nice if moving-time is during some decent weather, too - but i'll be satisfied if we can find sometime we both really like.
The house we looked at on saturday was one out here on Milligan hwy - only a minute or two from where we live now. It wasn't a bad little house, but we ultimately decided there was too much expensive stuff we'd want to do with it right away for it to be practical. We're all for learning to do lots of minor-to-moderate projects for home improvement, but we're hoping not to have to learn them all at once ;). We've got a few more we're interested in looking at and Robin's still giving us stuff. And we're in no rush.
I'd also like to state for the record, that it's snowing out here, in a major way. I'd also point out that this is a couple weeks after milligan's so-called "spring break".
~PS Transexual Drive-Thru by Penguinsushi on March 10, 2006 at 11:33am Yeah, this was disturbing.
At Wendy's. Last night.
me: (drives up)
(female voice): "Thank you for choosing Wendy's, can i - [static]"
me: ?
(male voice): "Can i take your order?"
me: !? "...yeah, i'd like, uhm...a number 1"
(female voice): "Anything else?"
me: "Gah! uhm...no...no thanks..."
By this time, ginger (who was in the jeep at the time) was laughing out loud.
I think i've discovered what people who work in fast food restaraunts do to entertain themselves on slow shifts.
~PS MY BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED! by Penguinsushi on March 1, 2006 at 12:56pm I have just been informed. It is fun times. I've been waiting for them to come in for a over a week now - and, by all accounts, they should have been here a few days ago, but oh well.
So yeah, yay for friends who can get me cool-yet-ridiculously-over-priced gaming books for a discount. Steve, you're my hero. I <3 U.
It occurs to me that many people would probably like to spend less money on their books. That's all well and good, but i'd rather spend the same amount of money and get more books. I guess i'm greedy like that. Or maniacle. Either one, really.
So, if that didn't make any sense to you, i'll explain a little. My gaming library is about to be increased by 6 nifty-cool books. 3 of which are for me to use when subjecting players to inhospitable climates. The other 3 are more for the players, who can use them for additional aid in character creation. Not that there aren't way too many cool options out there already (i was just discussing this with steve, actually).
