Thursty Thirsday

Things are progressing... the move is 'mostly' completed, and we are still working on the unpacking, organizing, and small touches here and there, but it's coming along.

I finally got Syd's bed all completed and her room is set up and cleaned, we still have to work a bit on our room, and a couple annoyances we're discovering, like the outlets in the bathrooms don't seem to be working... hmm... but in general we're getting things down and getting a nice routine going. Smooth sailing from here on... I hope.

Started watching this Wu-Tang show that came out last year, and it got me a little hooked... since Wu-Tang is what really got me deep into hip hop, it's been fun watching their come-up... even if it is a bit fictionalized... still good shit, really liking it and already anticipating Season 2!

Oh, did I mention internet finally got set up at the house too... so finally, finally, finally we are connected! it's been a relief and a half.

Other than all that, I'll be back on the podcast this Saturday night, so I do have some early prep done, will have to relisten to the eps again as well as do some audio chopping... great VGO quote of the week this week... and also wanted to try to finish up the 'Drop the Canadian Loser' song as well as maybe work on some new music for the outros... My well is running a bit dry with old instrumental tracks to use and no one thus far has submitted any alternative music to use or suggestions. Should be a lot of fun though.

I think that's all I got for now...

I Felt Moved

Ouch... don't move that... oww... my leg is...YOWWI....oh no.... uggghhh.... Ok... that's about how my body feels today.

It is Monday, I have survived the past 5 days of moving into our new house (with still tons more to do) but at least all of the heavy items have been moved, we also completely cleared out our storage unit, which was another pain in the muscles... and yes, I am indeed still sore, but we are moved in, and for that, I am relieved!

From Wednesday night to Saturday night, it was practically nonstop lifting heavy items, Sunday was a little more chill, but still involved moving around things and trying to set up the new house... (plus we did a huge Costco run, which involved... lifting heavy items lol,) It's now Monday...I'm tired, I'm sore, I'm ready to sleep a whole day to refresh, but alas, won't be able to do that yet :P There is still a lot to do.

For the most part, things are set-up, but the little things need to be organized now, and all the finishing touches need applied, which is going to take a long time... even when we think things are all set up I'm sure we'll keep making changes.

Either way, I'm happy we're in a place of our own and now can do things our own way... it also seems like it'll be good weather this week, which will help out our mood all around.

Unfortunately our little Syd is sick right now too, so my parents are taking her to the doctor today to get checked out. Crossing my fingers she's ok, of course.

Other than that, nothing too noteworthy... oh yea, they are finally installing our internet tomorrow, so that'll be a huge relief as well, because it's been tricky not having the internet... (especially with the Saturday night podcast thing... which I'll get into in a minute)... also having internet is (now obviously) necessary to distract the younglings. It felt like being in the middle-ages trying to keep them entertained and at the same time trying to set up the new house. Help us internet... you're our only hope!

Ok so the podcast... this week I wasn't actually on the podcast, but being the technial guy I am, I am still going to be editing it, so that was my task on Saturday... first off, one of the hosts wasn't able to host, so they were scrambling at the last minute trying to fill the spot and luckily Avi was able to fill in with short notice... so I headed over to my parents (since my computer is still there, with glorious internet still available) and of course, the podcast got off to a late start... then they did the podcast until almost 2:00 a.m. so as soon as they completed, I threw it in my DAW and went to work, figured I'd power through it nonstop to complete it... which I did, but that took until around 4:00 a.m. at which I shot it off to Michelle and went back home to sleep. The baby woke me up at 6:30 a.m. so suffice to say, I was a little tired on Sunday. With the internet finally being set up tomorrow, at least I will be able to do this from home from here on, which will help out extremely.

Ok that brings you up to speed...
