The past few days I’ve been involved in a substantial project of cleaning my apartment. I’m still not done, but I’m entering the home stretch. The piles of crap and clutter have been banished to the closets and recycling bin. Strangely, my apartment feels really empty.
I went from stuff like this,
to stuff [...]
After about two hours of manual labor, my desk is pretty much put together:
I still need to add some more nails to the backing behind the drawers, but I didn’t want to do any more hammering than absolutely necessary this late in the evening.
This afternoon, I also stopped by the Futon Factory in Redmond to [...]
I bought a desk at Ikea the other day. I took the pieces out of the box this evening in anticipation of putting it together. However, there were too many steps for me to be doing all that at 9:30 at night. Plus, I don’t have a hammer for pounding in the [...]
This afternoon, I had planned to go shopping for a futon frame before going to swimming at 5pm. I was going to go the Futon Factory, which is the place I bought my futon mattress. I’d noticed when I was there before that they had some nice frames. However, this time I [...]
This afternoon, I sat down to start on my taxes. I’m still waiting for my W-2 from UNC though, so I can’t file until I have final numbers for that. It turns out that because my last paycheck from there came so late, it was counted as income for this year instead of [...]
Because I was in a sort of dancing mood and because I had so much with Chris last Thursday at Neighbors when he was in town, I decided I’d go again last night. The 80s music is fun to dance to and usually there are enough interesting guys to keep my eyes busy all [...]
Sometimes I think these are the height of Seattle granola-gay fashion:
Today marks the one year anniversary of me starting my current job. Yesterday would be the anniversary of my official move to Seattle. Before that I was staying in a hotel while looking for an apartment then driving all my crap up from California. Reflecting back, I’m still very satisfied with my [...]
Both my friend Chris from San Francisco and my parents were in town this weekend, which made for a pretty busy couple of days.
Chris came in on Thursday night and Robert and I met him at the airport. Without Robert, who had to work early the next morning, the two of us headed over [...]
I woke up this morning and before I could even put my glasses on, I noticed it was very white outside. Sure enough, it snowed yet again last night. Not wanting to deal with the nastiness, I decided I’d wait a while before going into work. Even by the time I left [...]
