moving day +365

...and there's ONE box from that day i've left not unpacked. on purpose anyway.. some other stuff i still need shelves for the basement and whatnot- course, *that* stuff i'm talking about will turn the basement into a set from the 40 year old virgin, so.. maybe it'll stay boxed..?

....nah. the basement will be the laboratory soon enough.

15 December 2006

well how about that.

i completely missed the fact that i closed on my house a year ago yesterday. i figure 'cause it was really *real* as of moving day, the 17th. so what's different? some furniture, the lift, the van.. 2 cna's gone, 2 new ones.. baby steps toward independence, not nearly enough where i should be, as usual- cooking, for one ;).. a few dozen iterations of computers and parts, all which are in various states of failure; to the point i wanna just go 'f it' and replace 'em..
whatever.

laundry list [no particular order]:

garage ramp
closet/laundry pass-thru
lever doorknobs
window treatments
paint/ colors..
then hang pictures/ art/ shelves
backsplash
accent furniture?
dvd storage
basement shelves/ furniture
new/ different lamps/ lighting
kitchen table lights
lose the rug/ wood floors
back porch
finish basement.. in a few years
rewire home theater components.. properly
move all computer components to basement/ clean up bookshelves

theres more, lots more.. those are the ones that i've made at least some progress on besides 'hey thats a good idea..'. the research has begun, some more than others, but execution.. yeah. whatever, i got time.

-anyone else think moving the giant tv downstairs would *just* fit thru the foyer down there? who wants to give it a shot? ;)

13 December 2006

so damn Shiny it hurts

a Firefly MMO is in the works. Soooo many ways to take this idea.. i imagine the endgame would be the mystery of the academy River was being experimented on, and the whole Blue Sun corp/ Blue-Handed guys deal. but as a whole 'Verse.. everyone cant be Mal, i assume they'd play heroes you quest from/ with maybe.. maybe even choose sides, alliance /browncoat /reaver even.. man playing a Reaver could be so cool.. all crazy and maybe out for revenge or something. roll a Companion, heh.. easy money..
man i scared myself a little- just thought.. would it be better played out in books/ comics/ graphic novels? sthey've got rights.. what % of serenity addicts crossover to MMO players? is that FAIR to them to have the verse's mysteries played out on an admittedly narrower focus audience? and about that too- who's writing for the game? if it ISN'T Joss, well.. hm. i was so jazzed.. what if they fuck it up?

-funny aside: oddly enough, earlier today i was in the grocery store, in the cereal/ granola section, and found myself singing the 'fruity oaty bars' jingle. ;)

EDIT: more 'Verse news: just now saw that Dark Horse will be publishing a new Serenity miniseries called Serenity: Better Days [click, 3rd headline down]. see- can't stop the signal!
