Cluster of Unrelated Thoughts

lykomancer-- We seem to have found an apartment at long last. (The idea originally was to buy a trailer or house, but anything that gets us out of Jinya's mom's house is, at this point, progress.) Downstairs duplex, with a front porch and concrete deck area out back; one car garage; huge open kitchen (with dishwasher); hardwood floors and massive closets. $650 per month plus utilities, starting in June. Annnnnnd they'll let us take the cats-- with NO deposit or pet rent mentioned at all!
It feels unreal so far, but when I do think about it, I get a little worried about finances. I know it's affordable...but part of me's still nervous and the rest of me is unconvinced that this is actually happening.

-- Replayed Dragon Age for the first time in a year, trying to do as much different as possible from my first playthroughs. Man, Alistair gets super bitchy toward you if you let Loghain live! Hahahahahahah! But Loghain is kind of awesome. He quickly became my new BFF. I wish it was possible to have him join your party sooner so that you could play with him more.
-- Drawing my characters a bit more again, since I got a new sketchpad. I'm thinking of getting a huge 18x24 pad and consolidating a bunch of information and sketches onto large infographic-style posters of various characters, beasts, landscapes, etc., that I can hang up around my room. I think that'd be kinda cool.
-- Jinya gave me an entire gluten-free pizza. I have eaten half of it. I am too full to take another bite, but I'm holding another piece anyway; I am rolling in the ecstasy of having too much food. I love having too much food, it occurs to me. I've never properly starved, but I've had enough food shortages in my life that I can occasionally get weird about having food. Not hoarding-level, but minor, sporadic gluttonousness.

Hope you survive the workday today so that you can appropriately celebrate all these things.

Date: 2013-04-14 01:28 am (UTC)There are lots of things we're gonna need-- curtains and tp and carpets and/or anti-scratch pads for the hardwood floors and a kitchen table and, and, and....-- and I've only got three paychecks before we have to pay first month's rent, so I'm a little concerned. Our next Ikea trip is gonna be epic, though.
Story infographics!
I thought that'd be a neat concept. I don't have enough complexity in my plot to make a plot-board like you use necessary, but I could have a lot of fun with the visual aspects of my world. :D

Date: 2013-04-14 02:23 am (UTC)Although if you Ikea the kitchen table, you could make me super jealous if you got this one that I've been lusting after for a few years now.
Bet you could totally make a giant board for characters and their relationships that's at least as huge and convoluted as my plot-board. (I haven't posted any pics since I redid it and expanded it, but you could still totally have me beat for sheer quantity of compressed information.)
Pictures would be prettier, though.
I actually really, really want you to do it. There's nothing quite like having a giant display of your story dominating a portion of your living space in real time.
