So,
lireavue probably already linked you guys to it, but we're still cracking away at Murderboarding, where we analyze Grimm's metaplot and Captain Renard (because we find Nick boring, okay?) down to the tiniest little shreds. I am so not kidding. Down to the background photographs, the items on desks, nuances of the multiple languages spoken in the show, travel times, background footage, discrepancies in time differences, everything. Which side of his belt Renard clips his badge on. These have all come under discussion. There's also a few side tangent posts wherein we lay out the reasons we think there's an imminent Grail Quest. Hey, it amuses us, anyways.
Back on the tenterhooks (and I still don't know what tenterhooks are) and waiting for the clear to close and the close date and everything, though according to everyone so far there's no more appraisals, inspections, clearances, provisos, permissions, or signed letters to get. We've got the down payment, we're pretty well set for everything. Just. Waiting on the close date.
And then construction, and then moving. Or, actually, starting to move boxes over the second we close, because I don't need all of these books in boxes just yet, I can wait a month, month and a half to put them on shelves. And there's a pile of knicknacks. My crafting stuff can sit for a bit, especially my Dragon*Con costume stuff. Etc. Moving that stuff while people run around laying pipe and attaching radiators and painting things and replacing the bathroom ceiling. Buying appliances. And at least a bed, if not other furniture too. Craigslist is my friend, especially with the kind of budget and list I have. And the Habitat ReStore and so on and so forth. Estate sales!
So, hopefully, it'll go off without further hitches. I'm actually vaguely getting excited about this again!
And in the meantime. In the meantime I work on dragging my dumb ass back into routines, because I seriously need to get back into my old habits. The good ones, that is.
