Loving My New Home... XBOX, Not So Much

Been trying to set up wireless network for the XBOX via my Vodacom 3G account for past two or more hours, with no success. Adnitting defeat now and heading off to bed shortly to carry on reading Terry Pratchet's Nation. Think a call to Telkom is needed to get ADSL sorted for the cottage; there's just no point fart arsing about with 3G, but I really would have liked to at least connect to unlock my arcade titles again :(

Anyhoo, all my stuff is now finally in - they delivered Saturday at about 4 and Nicole helped me organise the place; it really looks and feels like home now so I am super happy! Spent yesterday drinking beers and tequila and apple sours with Guy playing Guitar Hero, was great fun :)

Today actually got some productive work done for a change - amazing how settling down and having things organised just makes life more organised in general and changes your attitude immediately. Now it's not "uurgh what to do what to do" it's "shite, is that the time already?". Far more preferable to the months that have gone previously :)

I have many plans for this place as I plan to stay here for a long time to come. Things to do:
- ADSL line
- Super Mario Brothers game wall mural
- install shelves in "lounge" for gaming and movie related collectibles
- install shelves outside by entrance gate for herb pot plants
- attempt to do a decent shop for the "cooking for one" mind set LOL

It's going to be fun :)

Todays "interest" is all about ME!!! Pics of the new place below.

Moving On Up

No moving on out and something may stop me! LOL

Been a tad frustrating with the move as I am still waiting for the large items I couldn't bring from Shereen's place in my car. So, no TV, no bed, no couches, no fridge. They were supposed to come by yesterday afternoon but had and urgent job to do so now it will be this afternoon apparently. I hope so. Aside from not being able to watch any television or game last night Vodacom is having network issues again so I also had no internet. I've finished the last unread book I have, so here's hoping I do indeed get my stuff today.

I was supposed to go check out some bands at Emmerentia with Nicole today for MK's 5th birthday bash but now with the guys delivering I can't do that. Nicole will come visit me here so at least the day isn't a total loss, though I am a wee bit miffed that I'm missing a concert I won a free ticket to LOL. Still, it's JHB, there will be plenty more to see and do in the future.



For today's interest piece, there is a local film called Night Drive that will release in theatres soon that is a horror based on muti killings. Having watched the trailer seems almost like a Texas Chainsaw meets witchdoctors, so it should be quite gruesome. Trailer counts as "obscene" material so I'll just link to it here for you.

All moved in and nowhere to sit

This place is ORSM! Will post pics as soon as I can - alas all my stuff is still at Shereen's place so don't have my camera etc. The only things I have here are my clothes, shoes, laptop, a book, a lamp and a duvet. Thankfully Shereen will be coming round in a bit to bring me a mattress to sleep on until my stuff is moved and dinner :)

My moola still not in from either work or the previous BF, so that kinda sucks, but hopefully that should be sorted by tomorrow.

Paprika is loving it here - she spent two hours running in and out of the sliding door while I was unpacking the clothes etc this afternoon. They have two dogs and a cat as well so some company for her which is cool. The cat has taken a liking to my abode - she's been curled up on my comforter since about 3pm.

That about covers the moving stuffs for now.

Going forward, I'm going to include a link or image of something I've seen that day I like or found interesting. While my life is enthralling, I know, some might want a foray into other areas. Hope you find them interesting / cool too :)
