Today, My Real Estate agent came by and we discussed putting my house on the market on Monday. It was only on sale for a week before I bought it, so hopefully I’ll have the same luck selling it. To help facilitate this process, I spent three hours ripping up a strip of grass that’s up on a weird slant between my driveway and my neighbor so I can replace it with mulch and a few shrubs. I only finished about three quarters of the process before it got too dark, and I had to stop for the night. It’s not even two hours later, and my arms are so sore, I can barely lift them… I can’t imagine digging up the rest of the grass and laying down the mulch tomorrow. Ouch. Then there’s the issue of disposing of the old grass clumps. ::sigh::

After two weeks of anxious waiting, the kind folks Leapfrog Online have offered me a position as a DBA. They’ll be sending the paperwork via FedEx, and every bit of this seems ultimately surreal.

Now all I have to do is sell my house, get a new place to live, transfer my insurance, and party until my head falls off! Woo freaking hoo!

Note: I found this while searching through some of my old writing. I think I wrote it two and a half years ago, but I’m not quite sure.

A slow wind caressed the night air, wisping through trees in a deliberate and focused delicacy. To those out that evening, it was a perfect setting for a long overdue escape into the wonderful breeze. The silence only broken by the snapping of dry twigs under the feet of two figures as they made their way through the old trail. The winding path led down into a vast rocky cliff that presented the stars in a perfect bowl away from trees or lights that may dim their brilliance.

After watching gas prices here go up $0.40 in less than a week, all I have to say is this:

And here I am with a car that runs on WTF.

Whoops! And I was doing so well for a while, too.

Well, the DDR tournament last weekend went well. Ten people actually entered, though we had about five more people who showed up to give their support, and people were wandering in and out during the entire process. I have many pictures and a video of the last three matches and an exhibition game between Ryan and Darren that ended with Ryan getting a full combo on Paranoia Survivor Heavy. Last week was so hectic, I didn’t have time to export everything from the video cam, but hopefully I’ll be able to do it this week.
