Jul. 12th, 2009 @ 04:03 pm ring on my finger...
I have a puzzle ring I got about 15 years ago. I was thinner now, and it's a bit tight. Anyone know a place I could get it resized?

Closed on the house Thursday. In at 10am, done by 10:40. Got internet set up.

Thursday night I got several wonderful friends, a truck and went to it. We got about 75% of my shit moved. Specifically the big stuff. To everyone who showed up, thanks.

Today was hell. I got about an hour of restless sleep. I found out I need to get my plumbing approved before they will turn my water on. I need to have all low-flow stuff. I have it already, but it could be a week before the county inspector comes out, signs off on it and they turn it on.

My brother and I spent most of they day sorting, packing and cleaning at the old place. We finally were done about 1am. We dropped off the Uhaul, took a shower at the old place, and left.

I rode the motorcycle down the connector and out 20 to the house. Despite the pain, it felt good.

Did I mention the pain? Hell is not knowing what box you packed your drugs in. Tomorrow will be spent laying prone and making old man noises. My sciatic nerve is angry and it feels like someone is stabbing me in the right asscheek. My feet feel like being stabbed would be an improvement. Oh! Hello ibuprofen! Have you seen your buddy percocet?

It's not "home is where the heart is" It's "home is where all your boxes of crap are"

I just got a cashiers check for the largest lump sum I've ever paid anyone. In theory, I should be a homeowner by noon tomorrow.

Jul. 7th, 2009 @ 11:28 am The (hopefully happy) ending
My house closing is scheduled for 10am on Thursday. I'm supposed to be out of my apartment Wednesday, but I managed to get them to stretch it a bit.

This whole process will have taken me 325 days. Hopefully this is the happy ending.

Got a letter from the cops. My car has been found. I wonder what condition it is in. We will find out tomorrow.

The letter is dated Tuesday. Fuckers couldn't even call.

Jun. 29th, 2009 @ 05:52 pm Car...
So I got home last night around 8pm. My car vanished sometime between then and 10am.

The apartment complex is checking to see if it can be seen leaving on the security tapes.

The police say if it was stolen as a joyride car, it's probably been abandoned somewhere already. If it was stolen for parts it could be weeks before it turns up, if ever.

I didn't have comprehensive coverage on it, so insurance won't buy me a new one. It was a 13 year old car with a $4500 blue book value. Insuring it for theft in Atlanta would have cost about $1000 a year, so not cost effective.

I'll be taking Marta to work for the rest of the week. I can't get a car loan while I have a mortgage application open, so no buying something new this week. I'm debating if I want to get something new or used when I can.

If anyone knows of a cheap ($1000 or under) car or motorcycle, let me know.

Perez Hilton, gay blogger and cultural parasite, gets pissed at one of the Black Eyed Peas and screams at him, calling him a 'faggot'

Road Manager for Black Eyed Peas punches Perez

Perez says he will sue, and donate all money he gets to the Matthew Shepard foundation

The foundation, run by Shepards mother, says they won't take any money from Perez, "because the lawsuit presumably involves the physical attack prompted by Mr. Hilton's admitted use of an anti-gay slur, the Foundation will be unable to accept any funds obtained in such a manner."

Class: some people have it.

Looks like I have access to 3 extra Transformus invites in round 3. Is there anyone out there who wants to go and needs a ticket?

I am starting planning for a photoshoot at the Clermont Hotel (not the lounge) since there is talk of it being closed soon.

I'm thinking for a kind of Speakeasy / Raymond Chandler feel to it. Femme fatales and hard boiled detectives and the like. If you are interested, let me know.

Today I went to two going away parties. At one of them, I got to hang out with Murphy the Great Dane.
