Peppermint Saga

Hey!

No no, I haven’t forsaken you (again…)! I am in the middle of a “surprise move”. Now, note that i have that in quotes. “How can you have a ‘surprise’ move, Mace?” Well, it works a little like this: I have been sorta languishing in the same not-so-nice neighborhood for a while. The pipes are messed up and cast extra stink on Tucson’s already stank water, there’s no dishwasher, no garbage disposal, no fitness center, laundry is iffy, pool is always nasty. Plus, I don’t want to COUNT how many times my vehicle has been sorta vandalized. (Apparently, neighborhood kids have nothing better to do besides dump a 32oz Coke on my car as if this is HILARIOUSLY funny.) So, I’ve been looking around since late last year. I renewed… AGAIN in 2008 because really, I had no choice. No specials, nobody was vacating my price range, nada. Well, this time, I stumbled on a deal so good, that if I were to have to STILL pay the last two months rent here then skedaddle, I’d be money ahead. But I had to sign a lease RIGHT FUCKING NOW. I am given $900 off for the early signing bonus, and I save an ADDITIONAL $50/month in rent. And the new place is cheaper with nicer shit. In a better community. With no pedestrian traffic.

SO! This week, I am tossing away all my unneeded shit, renting a U-Haul, and moving 2 miles up the road. It’s a little closer to work, it’s cleaner and nicer, oh, and my lazy ass will have a dishwasher, so no more limp dick excuses or Facebook entries about doing my dishes in the BATHTUB ever again. My shit will be clean. (now if I can just get the toaster to clean out its own crumbs…)

This does also mean that, due to the short notice, my Internets may be like… uh, woah. I’m working on a new page, Ostensibly, I had planned to have it up today. That might still happen, so please keep a wary eye on those RSS feeds. I may be able to upload the beast from Extreme Pita using my laptop. (NINJA!)

Just keeping y’all up to speed.
