Movies!

Apparently there’s a new internet meme going around that was started up by Avitable, where one has to take the EW list of the top 100 movies in the past 25 years and mark which movies you’ve seen (in bold) and which you liked (with an asterisk). Some movies I may have seen and didn’t mark and some movies I may have liked but didn’t mark, this isn’t because I’m an Elitist and think I should let on that I’ve seen some movies it’s because I’m a forgetist and I don’t remember if I’ve seen a movie sometimes or if I liked it.

Our House, in the Middle of our Street

Mrs Fireshaper and I finally finished the house and we have moved in. It took a few months (a lot longer than we had planned), and just a little bit more money than we had expected in the beginning, but now we are in our own house and have plenty of yard space for the dogs. Yes, you heard that correctly, dogs! We got a playmate for Amadeus and he loves him. He’s a puppy still, just under a year, and his name is Chico, he’s a mix and the mother’s owner wasn’t sure who the mother had puppies with so we really have no way of tellig what his breed is.

The house is a three-bedroom, one and a half bath, single story, and we live on family land, which used to be a dairy farm, so we have lots of yard space. We fenced in a backyard and painted and demolished and built back up, and all we have left is the blinds (which are becoming a lot more trouble than they are worth). I have an office now, I got an old desk from my dad that has lots of drawer space and I set up my two-monitor setup for my PC and have my Macbook beside it on its stand. Mrs Fireshaper and I have a large master bedroom, a lot larger than the room in the apartment, and she did an AWESOME job putting our master bathroom together, she’s such a great designer. The third bedroom, at the moment, houses most of our possessions, still boxed up, that we rummage through whenever we think of something we need.

So for the past couple of months I’ve been up to my ears in house-related stuff, I guess I didn’t get back to posting a bit more regularly like I had envisioned myself doing. But maybe now I can get on a more regular schedule.
