There and back again (and there, and back, and there...)

I started seriously moving stuff today from my old basement apartment to my new second floor one. This has some very good aspects... and some not so good ones.

Good is a place of my own without indebtedness or cleaning requirements... (I was getting sick of vacuuming that darned basement every week.) Also good is no set limits on use of internet! (And possibility of DSL, but is a touch pricy... we shall see.)

Bad is the room is tiny, and I might have a bedroom roommate as well as my roomie that shares living room and kitchen. Gah... Also bad, no bookshelves! I only have about a quarter of my books out of storage anyhow, but no space for even that many. Must find cheap bookshelves somewhere...

Bad also is the time it's taking me to move all my junk. I made four trips today, and I didn't move half of it. *sigh* And there is also no space for all my odd decorative-ish stuff, like my sword and dagger, or my fake stuffed owl. Ah well...

For want of a nail...

Actually it's for want of a screwdriver in this case. I'm almost finished moving stuff, but all my books are still at the old place because ,though this new apartment is furnished, it lacks bookshelves. So I happened to be at Wal-Mart today buying the LotR DVD for my LotR party, and I spied this stack of large boxes with a sign above "bookshelves, $24.95" Full-sized fake oak bookshelves for 25 bucks... so I got one. It is sitting in pieces on my floor right now because I have no screwdriver to assemble it with. So I'm here chatting on IRC instead...
