I feel like I'm running in a million different directions right now.
Called utility companies and set up the switch over in utilities. In spite of every one's best efforts, I'm going with standard cable. Aparently, there's a satelite dish at the condo, but I'm too addicted to TV to use that. I need to be able to record something and watch something else. Especially with multiple roommates. The only people I forgot to call is my current cable company to stop my service with them.
Meanwhile, I'm really hooked on Six Strokes Under. It's a weird mix of sports book and mystery that I'm actually enjoying. And I'm getting drawn into the sports scenes, too. I so wished I could have kept reading when lunch time was over. And tonight, I'm planning to call home before the convention comes over to watch the Enterprise season premier.
Advise from someone? I'm trying to decide if I should have my carpets professionally done, or if I can just rent a Rug Doctor and save $100. The previous owners of my condo had two cats, so I need to make sure all the cat dander is gone. But I don't want to spend any money I don't have to. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Fortunately, comments are back, so I can actually read them if you offer them to me! :)

Got a call this morning saying the loan docks were at the escrow office for me to sign. So, instead of going home at lunch time, I headed out there. Unfortunately, I also found out that to have my property taxes impounded every month (like I've already agreed to have happen), they were going to take 9 months worth. I had things calculated down to the penny, but that was much more then I expected them to be. So, I came back and asked for a payroll advance to cover the added months. Then I went to the bank and got a cashier's check for the rest of my downpayment and the closing costs. And you know what? I'm not even scared about how big the check is. Guess I've been getting used to it over the last month, because otherwise it would have killed me.
The worst part is that I had to get the advance. I was seriously hoping I wouldn't have to. With payday being Friday, it would have been nice. But I'll be paying that off for the next 5 months. O well.
Anyway, I'll be dropping the check off tonight on my way to the final walkthrough. By signing the papers today, escrow will hopefully close on Friday. That's still the target. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Yet at the same time dreading the work of packing, even though half my stuff is still in boxes. Really wish I could just wave my arms and everything would suddenly be moved. But since this isn't Bewitched, I'll plan on working like crazy after work all next week.
I think the excitement of my countdown (11 days), is because that's when the move will actually be over. Then comes the funner work of unpacking. But it's still work. Hopefully, by the end of the month, things will be organized and I can relax and enjoy my new place completely.

My weekend felt like a three day weekend, which was nice.
Of course, it was a two and a half day weekend.
Friday afternoon with OtherSeth at Magic Mountain was fun. I'd forgotten just how much you can do in that park when no one's there. We didn't get there until after 2PM, yet we rode all the major rides, including the new one, and were out of the park by 5:30PM. The only downside was that it was HOT in the sun. Probably up around 100.
Then Friday night, Mom and Dad came into town on their way back to Northern CA from Colorado. Via Phoenix and me. Spent the night with them, then we went out and looked at my new condo Saturday morning. They were very impressed. That afternoon, we hung around the trailer and did laundry. Not the most thrilling visit, but it was great to see them.
Then Saturday night I went home AND DID MY LAST TWO LOADS OF LAUNDRY HAVING TO PAY WITH QUARTERS!!!!!!!!!!! And why would that be again? Because escrow closes Friday and I move in 12 days! Frankly, it couldn't come any sooner. Friday, I did a load of towels and had to dry them twice. That's just way too annoying.
Sunday we had our first worship team practice before evening service. Went fine, but having to be at church at 5 sure does break up my afternoon. Of course, in a couple weeks, I won't have to leave until 4:50, which will be nice.
And, you knew this day would come, but I must once again talk a little politics. Something I have to get off my chest reguarding the governor's race here in CA.
First, Arnold is all but accused of being anti-immigrant, and therefore, a hypocrit. And why? Because he voted for proposition 187. Now, for those of you outside CA, here's what they proposition made the law of the state. Illegal immigrants were treated only for emergency procedures in state hospitals. Other then that, they didn't qualify for welfare of anything else the state of CA gives to the poor. And why is that? BECAUSE THEY ARE ILLEGAL!!!!! Yes, it makes life harder for legal immigrants. It would be nice if it didn't. But there's no other way to treat people who come here by breaking the law. See, there's a big difference between what Arnold did and what these people are doing. Any body who actually uses their brain would see that.
Not that it made any difference. The courts, in all their wisdom, overturned the law.
Now, Governor Davis is attacking Arnold, saying anyone who can't pronounce California shouldn't be it's governor. Now, Arnold as governor does scare me, but not for that reason. I don't think he really knows what he's doing to lead our state, and there are other people better qualified. But the fact that he has an accent isn't one of the issues I'm concerned with. And, the majority of the media isn't even bothering to report on this.
Meanwhile, we've got the only Democrat who broke ranks not wanting to break his ties to MEChA. I had some dealings with them and other clubs when I was going to the junior college. Frankly, they would scare me if they were anything but talk. But they are a racist group. (Wait, they are racists against European Americans. Can I call them that?) And the fact that he won't call them on it really bothers me. Unfortunately, I see him as being our next governor because I think Davis is toast. Hope so, anyway.

My gas theory sorta worked. When I bought gas Wednesday night (and my 3 gallon light was starting to come on), it had dropped! To all of $2.05 a gallon. Last night when I drove by on my way home from Bible Study, it had gone down again. To $2.03. With prices falling this fast, I'll be able to afford everything here pretty quick.
Yep, there's a reason I'm blogging this early. I'm leaving the office for the day in 8 minutes. Heading over to Magic Mountain this afternoon with Seth. Hopefully the park will be empty, so we can make ourselves sick on the rollercoasters. Actually, I haven't been since they openned the newest coaster, so I'm looking forward to it. Plus I've only been on the last coaster they built once.
And Mom called about an hour ago to say they're leaving Phoenix just now. They'll be here before I'm ready for them, but this is the way my schedule worked out. They're leaving an hour before I thought they would. :) Looking forward to seeing them and showing off my new condo.
Haven't heard from Jeff. But I don't expect to before this weekend sometime. Really didn't expect him to show up this weekend like he mentioned. But we'll see. Not that I'll be home again until late Saturday.
And that's my life at noon on a Friday. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Quiz day here at RR. Starting off with Mary's Tuesday Two.
1. Name a moment/incident/storyline in a book that you’ve never been able to forget
I’ve been trying, and I really can’t remember any life changing storylines in books. I’ve enjoyed the stories in the last few Thoene books. But a scene I’ve never forgotten is Honey trying to act like a gangster in the barn loft in book number 2.
2. What is your favorite first line of a novel?
“Nothing. Nothing but nothing. She stood in the middle of nothing and turned in a small circle. Everywhere she looked, everywhere, she saw nothing.” Sandy Dengler – Taste of Victory.
And now, for this week's Thursday Threesome, brought to us by traffic lights and The Back Porch.
Onesome: Red- Stop! Take a moment from your busy day and let us know what it's like now that the kids are back in school. Hey, even if you don't have kids, I'm betting the traffic pattern has changed on your commute! ...and not for the better, -eh?
Actually, my commute doesn’t change that much between summer and school. Probably because of how close I am to work. Don’t know what effect it will have in 16 days when I move.
Meanwhile, there is life on campus again for the first time in months. It really does start to feel dead when the students are gone. Even though I don’t talk to that many on a daily basis, just seeing them outside the windows changes something.
Twosome: Yellow- The leaves will be yellow and gold soon in New England! Who's your team this year? Oh, college of course! (Okay, you can go NFL if you'd like...)
Master’s, duh! Never mind the facts that I don’t even follow them and we don’t have a football team.
Threesome: Green- Go ahead, tell us what is happening in your neck of the woods as Autumn approaches. I've heard tales of the ash trees turning golden in Pennsylvania while central California is still in triple digits. What are you seeing when you're out on your porch?
Autumn? I think I’ve heard about that season somewhere. Things do cool off, but not until mid to late October. Still around 95 every day here and likely to be that way for quite some time. We get lots of wind during October and November. Some trees do loose their leaves, but nothing like in other parts of the country.

ACK! It's already 5!! Really need to get going since tonight is worship team practice. Last one on a Wednesday, however. We're switching to Sunday on Sunday.
Went and looked at a couch last night. Not convienced that it was that much better then what I already had. But they mentioned a place that seems to have great deals on their furniture. Maybe I can snag something there.
And I need to look at mattresses for bunk beds, too, so if roommates need them, I've got them.
For example Jeff. He called today because he's thinking of moving back to the area. Initially, he just wanted to move in for a couple weeks until he could figure something else out. But I think he's going to move into the new place. It'll be fun having him as a roommate again. If he does indeed move back here. We'll just have to see.
Still don't have my Alias set yet. I'm expecting it in tomorrow's mail.
Meanwhile, it's dinner time. Gotta run.

I was a good little boy the rest of the weekend. Didn't spend a dime I didn't have to. In fact, didn't spend a dime I should have, like gas. I'm gambling that gas prices will go down tomorrow since Labor day is over with. Here's hoping. They're at $2.09/gallon at the cheapest station here in town at the moment.
Got a new neighbor in my apartment this weekend. My last neighbors moved out over the fourth of July weekend. And they are certainly making me look forward more to my move. (Only 18 days.) Saturday, at 10 PM, they stick in a movie. And the walls start rattling. I went over and asked them to turn it down, which they did no problem, but we were back to it being that load Sunday and Monday. Just hope I don't walk into a situation like that at my new place.
Anyway, I went through Beauty and the Beast this weekend. Only 11 months after the DVD came out. I love that movie! And I watched part of my Rocky and Bullwinkle season 1 set. Meanwhile, remember that Alias season 1 came out today!
Monday, however, I took a different tack and read as much as possible. Finished Murder Pans Out that way, reading over 3/4 of it.
In between reading, I had the guys over and we watched 3 episodes of Babylon 5. Mikey, their new driver (so I don't have to drive after I've moved), seemed to like the show. And doesn't seem too lost, which is good considering we're about to finish season 2.
Then Seth and I went out to dinner and he came over and we watched Spider-Man. So basically, I had a nice relaxing weekend.
Now I come back to reality and work. What a bummer. :(

"I had three; I have none." Yep, that's right. Roommate possibilities have all fallen through, best I can tell. (Still haven't heard from the college student.) Ok, technically I have Marcus through the end of the year, but after that, I'm on my own. I'll be lucky to make ends meet, much less be get to St. Louis. And I've always wanted to go. This is killing me! Is owning my own place worth it?
Yes, I know it is. It's just I've been on such an emotional yo-yo since the whole thing started, I'm not sure I can take much more of this.
And it doesn't help that I've woken up before 6:30 the last couple of mornings. I am so tired it's not even funny.
And I ignored my conscience today. Went out and saw "Freaky Friday." It's great! Lindsay Lohan is wonderful as the daughter, and Jamie Lee Curtis does a great job as the mom as well. I was laughing all the way through the movie and chocked up at the end. And none of it felt manipulated at all. If you get a chance, go see it.
The convention is coming over Monday afternoon to watch more Babylon 5! It's been too long since I watched any. Really looking forward to it and to watching Matt's reaction to what happens next. I just wish Jeremiah were still around to see it with us. Why did he have to graduate? :)

Why must life be so complicated? Why, I ask you?
I asked the student who called me Tuesday to stop by on Wednesday so I could meet him. I'm still waiting. Meanwhile, looking him up on the Masternet facebook, I think he's living in the new dorm. Oops.
Meanwhile, I got a call from another guy looking to rent a whole room by himself. And willing to pay extra for it. He's a current student at the seminary. I'm all excited until he says, "I've had lots of roommates over the last few years, and I wouldn't live with any of them again." Naturally, this set alarm bells off in my head. But I think from asking around it's because he has had some bad roommates.
Of course, if this guy and the other guy both want to move it, what do I do with Marcus until he moves? But if just the seminary guy moves in, then Marcus and I can share the master bedroom until he moves out. And I start looking again.
Talking to OtherSeth last night, he's not going to be an option as a roommate. Which is too bad. But we had a good talk. He's talking about getting really involved in the guy's lives in the jr. high group. I think it'll be a good thing for everyone, and with a little leadership from him, I might jump in there, too. Someday, I'll work on being a leader and not a follower.
I wrote and submitted my 350th review at Amazon today! Only 50 more to go toward my goal of 400 by the end of the year. Not sure if I'll actually make it or not, but I think I will.
BTW, never trust Word. (And I should have known this a long time ago.) Everytime I write the word it's, Word always tried to correct it to its. Normally, I let it. But looking it up in the dictionary today, I discovered I was wrong to trust them. Someone help me out here. It's means it is. Its means belonging to it. Correct?
Nice relaxing weekend planned. Nothing going on. And I think I'm looking foward to that.
I'll end with my battle cry, found via Kathy. I think this fits me pretty well. (But I'll probably giggle the first dozen or so times I try to shout this, too.)

BTW, never trust Word. (And I should have known this a long time ago.) Everytime I write the word it's, Word always tried to correct it to its. Normally, I let it. But looking it up in the dictionary today, I discovered I was wrong to trust them. Someone help me out here. It's means it is. Its means belonging to it. Correct?
Nice relaxing weekend planned. Nothing going on. And I think I'm looking foward to that.
I'll end with my battle cry, found via Kathy. I think this fits me pretty well. (But I'll probably giggle the first dozen or so times I try to shout this, too.)
