Matt, I did the same thing before moving into my current place, so I can't judge.
Also, love the blast from the past costume pic you have up on flickr.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ha! I think that may be the most fun Halloween costume I've ever done up in—it was a blast to do the duo costume thing with Kristen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I once made a bad version of that kind of thing with graph paper, so I'm super impressed with it.
What I'm not impressed with is my lack of motivation and achievement at work today. Potentially at 1 o'clock, I'll become really busy, but right now just sitting here staring into space seems like a fine plan.

Me too. I've got files just sitting on computers that I need to grade -- 6 files each, 10 computers -- and I'm leaving right at the end of the day today, and yet I'm just sitting here like a lump on a log.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Anyone care to give me an objective guage of exactly how ridiculously anal-retentive I'm being about this?
Please. I spent more hours that I care to admit using Google's SketchUp to draft a 3-D model of The Boy's house, his furniture, and my furniture, so that we can figure out where everything might fit.
Your floorplan map is much better labelled than my 3-D model. I *like* the labels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've never used SketchUp. I wonder if you could make a 3-D model of your house and export it to some "first person shooter" game - that way you could practice slaughtering monsters in your house. You could learn things such as where blind spots and the best fields of fire are and whatnot.

There are plenty of games that have level designing software. You could just make your house a level.

Nnrrgh. Programs are crashing on me as I'm finishing major updates, I have to do the stupid evil report which cuts me off from the internets while it's running, and now supervisor wants to schedule my annual review.
SUCK IT, Monday.

Um, you don't figure these sorts of things out in the first few weeks of living in a place? Or is that just Hubby and me? Not that we're expecting anything, no . . .
