Flat now has a wireless connection! *dances*

I am having a mini flist catch-up (hi fandom!) now, but I don't know how far I'll get. I popped in occasionally from work, but not often.

I'm also trying to be considerate of the limit on the connection and not be all 'OMG missed SGA episodes!!' but, it's only a matter of time really. Damn you Joe Flanigan SGA and your pretty and addictive qualities.

The new flat is going well. Flatmates are friendly and relaxed; my stuff is all here now (and kinda unpacked) and the flat is in a good location. Despite all the craziness in between, I do think this has been a move for the better.

I even spent too much money on comics today. I haven't spent money on comics in months. But there was a new Age of Bronze trade and Brian K Vaughan, Joss and Tony Stark and crazy Marvel plotlines compelled me.

Anyway, yay internet!

*bops off to see Juno*

So, I am in a house that is empty except for my furniture (such that it is) and the boxes with my stuff in it. Quite a few boxes actually. I thought I'd kept my stuff level under control, but clearly not. And I even cut down! I am slightly nervous about how much storage space my friend has, but it should be okay.

So, yes, moving tomorrow. My stuff to one friend's house and me (+ clothes, some books and laptop) to another friend's couch. Hopefully not for long. Fuck, I hope not for long. I still think this moving thing may have been a stupid idea but there's fuck all I can do about it now.

Anyway, latter friend, lovely though she is, is internet-less, so I doubt I will be checking LJ much. I'll have the 'net at work, and whatever I can find in the way of wireless connections (*cough*) but I usually avoid LJ at work (although the same cannot be said for blogs) and I just don't know about the wireless thing. I am however going to a work conference on Thurs and Fri, which promises to be maybe the geekiest thing I have attended and has free wireless (double yay), so I might be around then.

Is it sad that the things I'll miss most about a regular connection is SGA flist squee and fic? Yes? Ah well, there you go.

And of course, tonight is when my connection has returned to a normal broadband speed. I am resisting the urge to download heavily. Just. Not really.

Anyway, hope to be back soon in a new and wonderful flat.

PS: I watched some David Tennant YouTube clips before and ... oh, David your hair is ridiculous and your accent is gorgeous and I am so fond. I am sorry my brain has been all "JoeFlaniganJoeFlanigan" recently. (Clearly I have a thing for actors with gravity defying hair).

I'm moving tomorrow. About half my stuff was moved last night (so many books and DVDs, so many) and the rest of it is being moved tomorrow afternoon. The new flat is across town (well, across central Wellington anyway) and the time it takes me to walk to work has about tripled, but I know this is the right call. I'll miss this flat and this room with its red walls, awesome wardrobe and gorgeous view, but I had to do this.

God, packing is a bitch though. I stopped packing briefly about an hour ago to check LJ and now the last thing I want to do is start again. I haven't got a lot to do, but just, ugh.

I feel I should say something else, but I can't think of what.

I write this entry from my new flat, via the flat's beautiful broadband connection. I haven't had the opportunity to play with it properly as I still don't have my computer with me (I'm using a borrowed laptop) and I'm not totally sure about the limit situation, but still, broadband whee!

Moving went fine. I really love the room, I've been really lucky with the furniture that's been left and it has a great view, which I will upload pictures of when I get my own computer back next weekend. I have only seen one (of, I believe seven) of my new flatmates since I moved in about nine hours ago, but I was told by the guy whose room I've taken that that is situation normal.

I thought I had more to say, but it seems the point of this entry really was 'broadband and my own room, whee!'

Dare I start the flist catch-up? ;)

Edit: I dared. Fandom? I love you. Illiad fic, Logan/Veronica, House/Wilson, Toby ... it's all wonderful.

Update:

I had another job interview today and I think it went pretty well and the place I'd work is awesome, but I won't know anything for over a week, which is frustrating, but that's the way these things work. I'm also looking at coffee-shop jobs for money, which I need as my temporary job has ended, but again with the waiting, which have I mentioned that I'm bad at? ;)

The flat situation is as it ever was unfortunately. My friend is really far too understanding. I've been staying with her nearly 7 weeks now. Fuck, 7 weeks. That's insane.

Fandom wise:

- I found a Serneity poster for $1 after walking into a video store on a whim. *glee*

- Armageddon - which is usually a fairly poor excuse for a fantasy/sci-fi/anime con in Wellington - has Jewel Staite and Summer Glau coming this year! I'll totally go, I only wish I had someone to drag along and share my geeky glee.

- Tess and Isabel-less Ocean's 13! *more glee* However ...

- I've missed three eps of GA and totally given up on Lost. *sighs*
