apartment hunting

song+ Thank You For The Music- Mamma Mia!
book+ August Previews
scent+ artificial strawberry flavouring. yum!
quest+ deciding on a new place soon
upper+ i've been feeling pretty good lately
downer+ my computer can't access the internet
attire+ summer pajamas
drink+milk

so since no other viable solution has presented itself so far as the dad thing goes, kyu and i have decided to look for a two bedroom apartment. we're going to try for a place that also has reasonably priced one-bedroom/efficiency options so dad can do that. this way we don't have to live with him, which is getting harder and harder, but we'll be close enough to make sure he doesn't kill anyone.. himself included. there's a relatively nice bills-paid place on the fringes of UTA housing, a lot of our work friends live there, so we're gonna look there this weekend. there's another place a bit further from work (about halfway between there and here) that we may look at, but i dunno if dad could afford to live there. we'll see how things work out.. i'll try to keep everyone updated.

when the time comes to unpack and organize the new place, i plan to take tons of photos. getting them uploaded is another matter, as i'm sure we're all well aware of my proclivity toward procrastination. i have ideas for both floorplans i've seen, but since it'll be kyu's place too i figure waiting on his opinion is the right thing to do.. that doesn't mean i want to though. xD i am filled with bizarre secret passions; organizing and decorating.. i loff them. flipping through a bedding catalog sends me to my zen place.. as does costuming. i sometimes forget to eat when i'm experimenting with variable stitch functions. xD whoo!

otherwise things have been pretty calm around here. dad's agreed to see a doctor, i heard this news something like fourth-hand, but it's still news. xD i still can't drive, moose has been taking us to and from work every day. they fixed the leaky pipe under our apartment, it was causing a perpetual puddle that spanned half the living room. the next day our sink backed up. good times!

I totally get that thing with the bedding catalog. When I sit down with a fresh Pottery Barn catalog, time just flies. Also the KnitPicks catalog, the new issue of "Real Simple", etc. And don't get me started on cookbooks, especially of they focus on baking.
