Monday was the last trip to Terre Haute that was taken. We reached the point where we really needed to unpack what was here, so that we both had boxes and totes to pack up more and to simply make room here at the new place. I have a little more sorting to do, but for the most part, everything that is here and still packed is either going into storage in the basement or requires some of the stuff still up in Terre Haute. So tonight, or early tomorrow, I am running back up and spending the weekend finishing up. Needless to say, I am looking forward to Sunday. Too bad the basement isn't enough to move our friends in...or Moggers, they are about the only thing I will miss about TH.
The new place is testing my paranoia, sorta. It has an ADT system built in, which lets us know if anyone has entered the house. That is kinda cool, but we also have motion sensors in a couple of rooms, which is kinda creepy to me for some reason. There is also the angles, which I am still getting used to. Basically, we have a lot of windows here, neighbors in almost every concievable direction, and a near total unfamiliarity with the people around me and what they are like. Oh well, I guess that is something that will fade as time goes on...the paranoia, not the windows, neighbors, or, knowing us, the unfamiliarity.
I am finding that actually having cable is much like playing an MMORPG: you are not living your own life and instead moving through the motions of others, it is a near total waste of time that could be spent doing something useful, it sucks up time and chains you to the couch for hours longer than you intend, and it has a monthly cost asigned to it. There is also one more thing I have noticed: advertising. When a new expansion is due out for an MMO, all you see is stuff for the expansion. When I watch TV, half the adds are for my cable provider...even stuff that is not available for us to buy. It is just annoying to me.
