past is past

So, as with any time where I wait a month between entries, a lot has been going on. I am still dating Gina. I am still slowly making progress on sprucing up my house. I am still spending the majority of my time at work, and the majority of my free time watching TV.

With only four other Assistant Editors, whenever all of our Online edit rooms are booked, I end up getting tapped to help out. Chris and I haven't had a constant flow of work though, yet there is talk of some bigger jobs later this month. Some people might be happy to be in air conditioning, but with the tundra-like temperatures this room always seems to be at, I would much rather be outside in the heat.

My dad built me a bookcase for my living room that is absolutely enormous. It really is intimidating the first time you walk into the room with it. I've gotten used to it now, and love it for being able to hold all of my books, movies, and assorted knick knacks. My dad also helped me lay down some dirt along the north side of the house - I needed to adjust the pitch of the ground because it was angling in towards the house. My next big improvement will be new windows throughout the main floor; I'm having them installed September 3rd.

A couple weekends ago the Ferndale Bike Club had a joint garage sale at Carey's house (she lives across the street from me) so I helped Gina clean a lot of the clutter out of her apartment which was sold or donated, and I got rid of a couple old CDs, DVDs, and more importantly my entire Magic collection (I did hold onto a handful of the best cards which I'm selling on eBay.) I also finally listed the pink stove that came with the house on Craigslist.

I'm thinking of planning another house party for sometime in early September. Anyone interested?
