stuff is here.

vass reads Finnegans Wake. "There's something just naughty about reading a book that not only do I not comprehend at all, but it's not intended to be comprehensible."

charmax made a vid with lots of Space Girls and a catchy tune. Good way to start one's day.

James Hance, author of Wookiee the Chew, has a new project: Firefrog, Firefly cast members portrayed by Muppets. Delightful, though you may have to scroll back a bit to see the sketches.

So, it's been a week.

It's pretty awesome to look out my work window and see big green cedars and the mountains behind them. It's less awesome to have my flow interrupted by screaming seagulls.

Our stuff finally got here Monday afternoon/evening, and we spent the next few days navigating very cautiously around piled boxes and furniture. At this point things have been unpacked sufficiently that we can sleep in our own bed, wear clothes other than the ones we packed, cook our own food (to include setting off the smoke alarm with pancakes: when they say "maximum heat output" on that one burner they ain't kidding), and even sit on one couch and chair. So that's around half the boxes and such, right there.

Everything else is "odds and ends," "Tucker's room" (which I've not unpacked because I've been working during the day and exhausted in the evenings), or books and games. For the curious, we have between 40 and 45 boxes of books, and 25-30 boxes of boardgames. It's hard to get an accurate count when a) you're using three different sizes of boxes and b) they're stacked up to six high and three deep.

There are dragonboat races tomorrow, down near Chinatown, and if I'm actually going to apply to Viable Paradise I ought to, you know, apply. So that'll take up most of the weekend. And then next week maybe I can start trying to be a sociable creature again.
