Two in a row. I know. It’s an oddity around here. Just catching you up on what’s new in my life.

Thursday night (starting the weekend early!) Abby visited for a bit, as she’s in town for a very short span after having completed grading her most recent class. Last night Jodi and I had a few Vodka Mudslides and stayed in editing SWIG photos, and watching MST3k whilst blogging, respectively. Today we went to Windsor and visited a furniture place, walking out a straight grand poorer but with a receipt for a $2000 bedroom set which is to be delivered in about a month. The remaining grand is done through Wells Fargo (shudder), and we intend to pay it off before the 12-month no-interest period is over. After that, we went for ice cream with Mark and Sara, then attended their SWIG performance at the Spitfire Arms. Pub food is tasty. And tomorrow is Mother’s Day, so we’re planning on having Jodi’s mom over for supper.

We’ve started work on a liquor cabinet (sans cabinet), and have obtained two items for it already. Plans are to pick up a something-or-other per paycheck, and possibly to build a cabinet for the corner in the kitchen. The plans for the wall unit are on hold after the huge expenditure today, but they’ll not be on hold forever — my creative focus will go toward the corner unit instead, if I can just draw up plans for it. I thought it was a feat managing to draw up plans (twice, no less) for the wall unit; this will stretch my skills with Dia considerably.

I haven’t been called about the replacement microwave yet; should head on over to Home Depot sometime and see how that’s coming along. The little microwave is annoyingly small and takes twice as long to cook anything.

Finally, I can play G, C and D chords on my acoustic guitar. Now I just need to know how to switch between them, and I might be able to start playing things. Those are, after all, the basis of pretty well every song on Earth.

I’m still working on a draft for a proper post full of Oprah-bashing, hoping to find time tomorrow to finish it. I’ve made a resolution to myself that I will go this entire month without missing a day on this blog. I noticed previous months look pretty sparse, and I figure, I’m paying for this bloody thing, I should damn well be using it. So if I get into the habit of posting at least some silly little thing every day, then that’s a start, right?
