Comings and Goings
Last week I was doing my finest impression of a human petri dish. Sometime over the previous weekend I managed to pick up a sinus infection that thought I had nothing better to do with my time than produce mucus. Needless to say, last week was fairly miserable for me in between the times I was blowing my nose. Sometime on Sunday it started to substantially subside, so last night I went to Bikram yoga to finish burning out the remainder. Today I haven't felt any symptoms at all. Hooray!
Speaking of hooray, my home closed today and I now officially own a little piece of property on the Tempe/Guadalupe/Chandler/Ahwatukee border. Today after work I am going to swing by the Best Buy down the street and pick up a cable modem so I can haul my laptop down there and see if Internet is turned on. Yes, I'm aware of my addictions, thank you.
Does anyone know of a good carpet installer here in the valley? The previous owner of my home had one or two rather large dogs and did a crap-tastic job of changing out his air filters, ergo the carpet in the house is somewhat filthy. I could clean it, which only does a minor job of removing "dog," or I could simply replace it. I'm leaning towards replacing it, but I need a guy to do the square footage estimate so I can order carpet from the mill. Suggestions for the Phoenix area are being gladly accepted right now.
I have finally decided that I am going to get a subwoofer for my stereo. I have actually known which one I've wanted for a while, but now I have the financial resources to do it. There's a British brand named Rel that produces absolutely stunning acoustic subwoofers for musical reproduction. A chunk of this week's paycheck and some of my spare assets shall contribute and hopefully I can get one in the next week or so. They are stellar to say the least and it's the last major component I need. Bye bye my small, tiny, little Polk woofer; hello big, mean, bowel moving Rel.
Additional usage of a subwoofer? Phil has suggested movie night at the Chandler Citadel (I can't call it the "compound," as my current tiny little backyard hut is the "compound"). Copenhagen has a decent sized couch that I really liked that could feasibly sit about 5 people. Take that and add my desk chair and I could probably comfortably sit six people. I could even get some super comfy pillows and other people could hang out on the floor. I think Phil might be on to something here. Plus it gives me a tiny bit more excuse to get the previously mentioned Rel... can't have people over to watch a movie and then have "polite" bass.
Aside from house, the only other thing on my mind lately has been sex. My hormones for the last week have kept me sufficiently sex, err, distracted from some of the other stuff I probably should be accomplishing. Thank you Internet and your wonderful pornographic bounty too.
A slight tangent away, I want to order some more cute underwear. Several years ago I think I was as mystified as the rest of the population as to why women love Victoria's Secret so much. Cute underwear are awesome. To the men reading this: go get yourself a pair of Aussiebums or Ginch Gonch. Ultra-comfy and sexy at the same time. Your significant other will thank me.
Peace out yo!
