So, with today (and my Real Estate agent telling me that the deal has been a firm deal since September 1st, he just neglected to tell me... *sigh* never dealing with him again after this) we signed our lives away to live near Sheppard and Bathurst for at least a year :D
We'll be at 535 Sheppard Avenue West. E-mail me privately more more details and all that. I've already started on the path to figuring out how many more companies I need to contact for address changes, but I've already contacted Bell and discovered that aside from the moving fee, we're going to be able to keep our land-line number, which is pretty damn awesome considering that we're moving 8 kilometers down the street.
A lot was done today in regards to packing up and preparing, since we have to be gone by September 20th, and we've got our new place on the 16th. I took all the manga and books out from my bookshelf, and dismantled the bookshelf itself so that it can be transported easier (and hopefully with less damage, knock-on-particleboard). Christine had already cleaned out the DVD shelves, so those have been taken down, too - considering that they flanked the TV set, the living room looks vastly different, and with only a few drillholes in the wall indicating anything was even there in the first place.
I've been going through all the manga and books and doing some light culling while doing so; I don't think I'll need Chinese-translated copies of Fushigi Yuugi, or similarly the Japanese Inu-Yasha... I don't know why I have a Hardy Boys hardcover book - maybe it was from my years when I thought I might write a detective story, and I needed some inspiration? But in any case, that should probably return to the cottage where it came from... I also have tons of manga that I actually haven't finished reading - Greenwood, Kashimashi, Saikano (I know! Why not, Jason?), Ah! My Goddess, Maico 2010, DearS... I think I'll be taking some time to clear out my backlog when we move... (the anime backlog, too... that'll take much longer...)
One of the other projects that I've been meaning to work on was the ripping of my physical CDs to MP3. Since we're moving, no time like the present to sit down and rip away, but I discovered that my desktop is a horrible, horrible sloth when it comes to ripping CDs. I have no idea why, but I've basically gone to the laptop to do the work, and besides, aside from the fact that I use the laptop more and it's just easier for me to be on that, it seems to also handle the Japanese characters without causing some major muckup in the WindowsOS. I figure, if I spend enough time at it tomorrow, I'll be done with my entire CD collection. (It sounds impressive, but it's not, when you consider that I only have about 150 CDs. :P)
Sooo... what else. Well, between the day that we have our new place and the day that we're moving, we have a wedding to attend, so we're going to be busy all-around. To unwind, I've been drinking lots of tea (no real surprise there) and just trying to chill. I'm likely going to try to enter the Tiny Cartridge Birthday contest by baking a cake, so I'll be doing that tomorrow. It's pretty hard to not be stressed, though, when you look at 6 years' worth of your life in boxes. The move will be good, though - a bigger kitchen for me (including a brilliant idea by Christine to get some baking racks), an Art Room for Christine, and some incredible scenery surrounding practically the entire building. It's gonna take a little getting used-to, but I'm sure I'll adapt quickly. :)

There's a nice, if somewhat fanatic, cat lady with a sewing machine fetish on the first floor. And you're right, the scenery around there is fantastic.

I'm still seething with envy about the landscape around there.
What are the rates around there for a 2 bedroom?no subject

...granted I could bike to your current place, I just WON'T. My legs would not forgive me.
