I just played As Tears Go By on Christie Lee. It’s the first time I’ve used my acoustic guitar in over seven months.

I fucking wept.

I’m in the new Portland house working right now, and I spent the night last night. So far, so good. Music, at long last, and a window. Though it took until almost noon to get the internet (necessary in editing for research), I still managed:

I spent the morning scoping a few OS Trek shows, as I try and figure out where my ass stops talking and my mouth begins about the movie. The Menagerie ended AWESOMELY, and Mirror, Mirror is great so far.

But right now I’m scuzzy, I’m exhausted, and I need to eat, so I’m gonna knock off early. Moving is exhausting, but this place is pretty rad. I can actually KNOW when the neighbor is gone and can blast my stereo, and I have the bass on, and… it’s just heaven, frankly. So happy.

Who has two thumbs he couldn’t bring into the picture fast enough and now officially has residence in Portland?

THIS GUY!

Wow. That was fast. In my normal course of seeking apartments on the cheap, I found one dead-set in the center of the area we want to live on the cheap. We talked to the guy at 8 PM, he called me at 9 the next morning, I dropped down the deposit at ten, and BAM.

We’re moving to a house, and it’s bigger, cheaper, and… A HOUSE! In the part of Portland I like the most! I ACTUALLY WANT TO LIVE HERE, not use it as a stop-gap to cope!

HO-REE SHIT.
