Settlement, and other new-house stuff
22 Jan 2005I 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?
