Sacrilege!

I just found out that McG is going to be doing an American version of one of my all-time favourite shows, Spaced. I sense train-wreck.

You Can't Do That on Television

Procrastination and frustration

After a lovely afternoon at the Faeriecon and the Harvest Festival, I returned home to piles of boxes. I'm moving in two weeks and really need to get my ass in gear on the packing front. I ended up spending many hours with a scale drawing of my new bedroom, scale cutouts of all my furniture, and a little scale cutout of myself so I could interact with all the little furniture cutouts in my two dimensional room. Yes, I was procrastinating. Packing goes a lot better when my mom is doing it for me.

I am also heartily sick of trying to sell stuff I can't bring with me. I think that if I can't sell it in the next week I'm going to just call Uhuru and have them haul it away for me. At least I'll get a tax receipt.

If anyone want stuff, I have an Ikea Poang chair and ottoman (dark green cushion), A locking wood media tower, an entrance bench with shoe storage and coat hooks, an Ikea Aneboda night table, a blue area rug, assorted household items like a wood picture box, a computer speaker and subwoofer set, a 20 GB external hard drive, some fans, etc...

I just want them gone :(

Big old moving sale part 1

Right, so I'm moving into a house (yay!) and contrary to common sense I will have less room. So I have to get rid of a few things. Here's round one:

Like-new entrance bench with hooks to hang up your coats and a shelf above along with shoe storage below. It's black metal with a padded bench, measuring 36" x 16" x 68".
$50 OBO


Norcent DP-220 slim DVD player with DIVX and MPEG-4 playback. Used but in great condition. $20




Roomba robot vacuum player - seldomly used, in good condition. Comes with power cord and one "electronic wall"
More fun than a pet rock, less messy than a cat. Now if only they invented one that did dishes... $50
