Moving makes me cranky.
Well. Let’s be serious. A lot of shit makes me cranky. But, I really hate moving more than anything else in the world. I don’t mind movin’ on up to the East side (or in my case, west side) but god damn. I got a lot of shit.
We’ve got everything in the new duplex, thanks in large part to the awesome movers I found. I highly recommend A-1 Professional Movers. They had the best price and the guys who moved me were really professional and kind. Special thank you to Yvonne for giving me her login to Angie’s List so that I could scope out a company with a good rep.
Now, we need to do a massive trip to Lowes. This place just isn’t home to me, yet. I need some warm colors on the walls with all of my artwork and chotchkies… then it will be home. Right now I’m just living in someone else house.
And filth.
Lord were the previous tenants filthy. I spent 2 hours cleaning grease off the stove. Imagine living somewhere for a couple of years, cooking bacon every day and never cleaning it. That’s what we got. And the landlord had someone come and clean on Friday before we moved in! That lady must have taken one look at that stove and said “Fuck that shit.” I would have.
So, all that’s sorted. The next few weeks will be all about painting, cleaning and hanging all my crap everywhere. That’s the fun part. I’m not really looking forward to painting.
Work is going faboo. I was featured in an article for an industry magazine. w00t! They wanted to focus on how we are trying to build a specific corporate culture and what we are doing to nurture it. I dig it. It really speaks to the advances we are making towards redefining the industry. Check it out! The title is “The New Culture” and is on page 36. There are some additional pics with the editorial on page 6.
I’m also going to have a new blog up on The Planet. Keep looking for that- it should be posted today. It’s a fun, silly one. Mike gave me the idea for it because he’s a fucking genius.
Alright, my friends. That’s it for now. Have a happy Easter and eat lots of chocolate bunnies. Ears first.

PS-
Here is a photo of that giant fucking koosh ball from my last entry. I’m gonna surprise the shit out Kevin one day and totally demolish him with it.
Well, I don’t paint, and you hate doing it, so sux2bourwalls.
And I am a fucking genius. I should blog for The Planet. :O
Yeah, see… that’s what I was getting from the pics the other night. It’s so adorable, but it’s not ‘you’, yet. I’ve no doubt that you’ll get there fairly quickly (not as quick as you’d like) but it’s still a little out of the element.
Lowe’s is about to LOOOOVE you.

Congrats again on the article. I’m so incredibly proud of you (I know that the article isn’t really about YOU, but I’m proud, nonetheless. You’ve gotten far in a few short years).
Can’t wait to read the Planet blog.
I wish you had magic powers to put your house together, too. I also wish I had magic powers to finish my office. :S
Happy Good Friday. Dank Easter Bunny – bock bock.
