After a friggin exhausting wait for cable/internet, I’m finally back in the land of the living. Though, truth be told I didn’t miss TV one bit. I could actually do without the “idiot box” for quite some time if it wasn’t for the Daily Show. Anyway, I’ve been spending most of my time getting the apartment “comfortable” to live in. The involves the basic “moving in” sorts of things: hanging pictures, unpacking boxes, setting up furnature, etc. Besides all that jazz I have managed time to finish GTA 3 and start in on some Morrowind. I’m basically using that as a time killer until I get my hands on the multitudes of nifty games due out in the months between now and Christmas.
That’s about it. Everyone around here is basically killing time until this semester starts, myself included. I think once classes start next week everything will be back to the same old routine. I actually can’t wait for classes this year. It being my senior year I finally get to have all the classes I’ve wanted to take since I got here. I have only two required courses left and then a shit load of electives. Huzah. Jason also told me that his uncle is going to give him a bunch of photo equipment because he doesn’t want it any more. Jason not being a photo major told me that I’d get it instead so that it doesn’t all go to waste. Allegedly there’s a camera or two and an enlarger involved. That might be pretty cool.
I should probably mention the new apartment as well. It’s nice. Very nice actually. It’s a split-two bedroom with a decent sized kitchen and almost as much room as our old apartment. It’s in a much more upscale neighborhood and doesn’t have nearly as many “maintenance issues” that the old apartment had. Plus the added bonus of living a mere 20ft from Lauren make this an ideal situation.
Ok, time to get some rest, there’s plenty more “nothing” to do tomorrow while I wait for classes to start. At least I get a little break to mentally unwind. Later.

Trust me. Otherwise typing would be a tad bit difficult. I do however, have a lack of internet service. The cable guy is coming on Thursday. Then I will have a cable modem again. I of course have stories about my trip and about what I’ve been doing for the past week or so, but those will also have to wait until Thursday. I’ll catch everybody up then. Later.

This will be the last post for a little while. Odds are we won’t have a cable modem in Savannah right away. It’ll probably take till at least the end of next week or even longer. I’m packing up stuff as I speak and this is going in a box very shortly. I might keep it out for a little while so I can get ahold of Chip. If he is planning on being around today I might be able to give him the 32 port hub I borrowed so it can get back to Dave. Anyways, while I’m traveling I obviously can’t update (unless I find a netCafe or something) so I figured I’d leave you guys with a few links to keep you busy. These are a few of my “daily links” or links that I visit fequently. Enjoy:
Deviant Art – random artsy things. Applications skins, wallpaper, etc.
SurfStation – random artsy links.
URL DJ – links and interesting stories.
Penny Arcade – best online comic, period.
NeoWin – Windows, gaming and tech news.
Something Awful – randomly interesting. offensive, crude and often funny.
FARK – random links and humor.
[H]ardOCP – daily tech news. mostly hardware.
Worth1000 – Daily Photoshop contests.
Essential US – for you Techno fans, the Essential Mix US homepage. good place to find track listings or just ideas for good tracks.
NewsFactor – news on just about everything computer related.
ShackNews – game news and lots of it.
That’s about it. I’ll take to you guys soon. Take care.

Well, it’s official. I’ll be leaving for Savannah early Sunday morning. So, because the time table has been moved up a little, today it “prep” day. So much to do, so little time. Already today the car has been registered and at 1pm it’ll get it’s inspection sticker. After that we’re shopping in Nashua for random nessisary things and then I come home and pack all afternoon. I was hoping to hang out with the guys tonight so we’ll see how it goes. I’m packing up non-important stuff tonight and then the computer and clothes tomorrow. Tomorrow night I’ll pack the car and then we’re gone. I also need to remember to email Jason and let him know I’ll be back a little early.
Finally, this damn summer is over. Part of me is very very happy to leave, mainly the part that didn’t find a job or didn’t like being “home” for 3 months. The other half of me is a little sad because I know this will probably be the last summer I spend in Milford. Everyone is moving on with their lives so I guess it’s my turn as well. Chris is going to be on Long Island. Josh will be out on the West Coast, Chip will be in Manchester, Jason N is moving to Indiana. I’m not sure what I’m going to be doing in a years time but I have a strong feeling that I’ll be newly married and looking for a job in New England. That suites me just fine. From then on it’s the “real world” and I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. I know that wherever I end up I’ll be with someone I love, I’m confident about that.
Ok, it’s time to have some lunch and get this show on the road. If I don’t see you guys before I leave, good luck and take care of yourselves. There’s always email. For those of you in Savannah or on your way there, I’ll see you on Monday. Later.
