It’s final, I’m staying at my mothers for a bit longer. No date set for an exit. Things have become so peaceful and non soap opera-ish. With Beverly gone and my sister passing it just all of the sudden became a normal house. It was quite hard to wrap my mind around the reality that Kim wasn’t going to be randomly bursting into arguments with my mom or someone in the house. Or that Beverly wasn’t on the couch anymore every afternoon sleeping or watching TV. It is now just silence..only disrupted every now and then by my mom walking down the hallway with her brace/cast. I call it “peg legging” because she walks like a peg legged pirate.
Of course financial reasons are keeping us at the house. Matt just bought a pretty new car that has a pretty monthly payment and an increased insurance costs. He got a Hyundai Elantra 2008, his first brand spanking new car. It’s super cute and is a charcoal gray. Yes. I’m jealous. But I still have love for my Honda (which just passed the 100k mile mark!) I did 55k of that since October of 2005!
I also got us a pretty new thing too.. a freaking sweet 42″ LCD HDTV with Wifi & LAN connections along with a bevy of input jacks on the back. It’s pretty obscene in our bedroom. I’m thinking the living room might be a better setup at a later date. For now having it in the bedroom hooked up to my newly finished HTPC makes me really happy. I’m thinking Photoshop @ 42 inches is just gonna be friggin awesome!
On the school front, I’m still behind. Taking 3 classes was just a bad idea. With all the Kim dying and recently and completely unexpected near death of Matt’s dad (getting better now), school just took a backseat. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t gotten some really cool stuff done in at least my photography class. My desktop that I made all crispy the day after Kim’s death is finally back and running so I can finally scan some of my work and share it with you via my Flickr account. Expect some of that later this week. For now it’s off to work tasks!
Also as a side note: Due to all the insanity in my home life and the setbacks it caused in school I can’t justify a trip down to Austin for my Faux Bday so expect a cancellation notice soon. I’ve gotta get caught up and that is going to take all the energy I have. Perhaps I’ll just come down to get shit-faced after the semester is up? Anyone in for a “what a fucked up year” party in A-town come May?
