The Move Is On

And so it begins...

Moving sucks. There is so much hassle involved, address changes, sorting out utilities, getting keys, arranging a truck, finding helpers and figuring out what you need to survive. I'm already tired and I haven't started yet.

Today I went to IKEA to scout out a new bed (my bed frame is like 10 years old and I've moved it a million times) and wound up buying a bunch of shit that I will need for my new place. I got a nice little Dining Table and 2 chairs, silverware, food containers, some plates, and various other crap. I have to make a return trip to get the bed at some point before Sunday afternoon. I also went to Best Buy and purchased a shiny new microwave oven. What my plan is for moving is to buy as much shit as possible, throw away the old and start anew. In fact, I'm about to go sort through some shit and see what I can toss once Judge Judy is over.

As far as my utilties go, I did manage to sort out a lot of shit today...namely electric, cable and internet. I can't remember if my new place uses gas or not, so I'm laying off on calling them until I see the place again. Hopefully it's not gas heat, or it might be frigid in there for a couple days. I decided to say FUCK COMCAST and stick with Road Runner as my internet provider. I found an offer online for $29.99 a month for 6 months with Road Runner which sounds good to me. I also decided to go with the Dish Network instead of cable. This company called Allsat is running a great deal that I couldn't pass up. $39.99 a month for 120 channels, including locals AND Tivo on 2 TVs. I'm stoked about this deal. I have wanted Tivo for the longest time....and it's finally here. Unless of course I can't get a letter from my new landlord that says I can have a dish put up on the property. All in all, 70 bucks a month gets me Cable and Internet. Not bad.

Speaking of cable/internet, ours is getting turned off in roughly 15 hours. Yikes. I'm going to be TV and computer free for a couple days. I guess I'll read? I saved up some Netflix movies for the ocassion. And then there's that whole moving thing I need to get moving on...
