I sort of kept forgetting to post this, or somehow waiting until it was more relevant (it didn’t get any more relevant the more I waited, I don’t think), but that’s stupid so here goes.
We’re settling next Monday (that’d be the 24th), and moving in on Monday the 31st… so, week after next, I’ll be in a new house. Incidentally, we’re also getting cable “installed” on the day we move (go figure… I can see the cable poking out of the wall, but it’s not installed unless some Telstra dude comes and plugs in a cable modem for me and says “It works now.”), and a bunch of new IT gear will arrive sometime next week (pre-moving in) to be built ready for installation pretty much as soon as we move in (assuming all goes well, and I can find some free time next week between trying to frantically get ready for school and doing non-academic-related work)
In other news, I’m finally getting the Acoustic Research AR-14 speakers when we move in, and they’ll hopefully arrive sometime early next week (Monday or Tuesday, I hope… otherwise it’ll be a while later) — I have music from the time we move in!
Oh, yeah, and I’m going to IKEA and buying lots of pillows, because I’m getting a fold-out sofa bed thing, and they’re no fun without lots of pillows (and IKEA has cheap pillows!)… I have one small dilemma, though — a few big pillows, or lots of little ones?
You don’t need pillows, just buy a rug and sit on the floor. It’s much more functional.
Pillows = Pillow Fight
Lots of Pillows = Big Pillow Fight
Ikea = Heaven
Get one HUGE pillow and hide under it.
Better yet, fold yourself into the bed.
Just get lots of big ones. Problem solved.
Want to sell the 14“s Ill make it worth your while.
Bill, as you’re in the US (judging from the email address), and the speakers probably weigh a bit over 20KG combined, I don’t think it’d be worth your while trying to buy them, given the enormous freight costs that would be involved. As it stands, I’m not particularly interested in getting rid of them… but if I’m wrong about the US thing then I guess you can make an offer if you really want: you can send me an email directly using the contact form.
