You know, I won't explain but I will leave this bit of cryptic here, it's nice to know sometimes that my estimation of fandom's opinions as compared to my opinions are right. It makes things easier. On the plus side, I got a glove knitted up last night! Almost perfectly. I now have to figure out how to get rid of that giant hole between the thumb and the rest of the fingers. So, okay, not so simple as knitting up two tubes. I may try something else and then may ask the Beej for help because, um, dignity. And stubbornness.
The bedroom looks really weird without the top bunk. Which, for those of you who don't know (which might be most of you), for the past four years or so we've been sleeping in a bunk bed because that's what I had at the time, and it was the easiest bed to move down. Well, since this bed has survived two moves and a long stay in a basement, we're finally getting rid of it. We have a fucking Tempurpedic mattress that will be delivered once we're in the house, you guys I cannot explain to you how awesome this thing is. Memory foam, though expensive as fuck for a mattress, is definitely going to be worth the indulgence right now, especially with the 25 year warranty. The rest of the furniture, at least, the things like tables and bedframes and chairs and things, can wait or can be got much cheaper secondhand, since we already have a folding table and folding chairs and things like that. But I refuse to get a mattress second-hand and I'd prefer not to get appliances second-hand. Which is less a matter of not trusting second-hand appliances and more a matter that the one reliable store went out of business when the store owners hit the age of fuckit. Also, getting new appliances gives us the top of the energy saving benefits, so, eh.
Anyway. The things you can do when you still have a chunk left over from a house down payment.
This weekend was full of entertaining blog stuff over at Murderboarding, mostly involving actual actors from the show (well, one) posting an ask to my tumblr that quoted part of the recaplysis, thereby causing our heads to explode because proof positive that at least the actors actually read this shit. And possibly the production crew, I got tweeted at by one of the co-creators of Haven. That was good for a moment or three of spaz. Still, I'll be glad when this season of Haven is over (YAY SEASON FOUR OF HAVEN GREENLIT) and Grimm is on hiatus and I can have more versatile Saturdays.
There might be more to this except I'm off to work. Self, remember to call and check at the end of the day if the gas person was there, to call after work and give them your ShowMe number and the boy's Social Control number, and don't forget to start today with Nano instead of blog stuff. Assuming that's even possible, if Flutter's not there. Ugh. Monday backlog. This is going to be fun.
