I can has free furniture?!?!?! [16 Jun 2008|01:08pm] [ mood | working ] Saturday was a very, very slow adoption fair. Almost no apps on anyone, though Zippy got some interest for being a freakin' beautiful cat. Still need to pimp him at work. Lack of working printer complicates this only slightly. Sunday I slept until almost noon but woke somewhat revitalized. The first thing I discovered while watering my plants was ( OMGWTF HUNDREDS OF BABY SPIDERS AAAAGH ) Cue massive apartment-cleaning! I moved some furniture around, took 99% of everything out of boxes and put it away, and carried my month-old stack of newspapers down to recycling. Where I found a beautiful ginormous dresser with a big "FREE" sign taped to it. I probably looked like one of those cartoon characters trying to move something obviously too heavy for her, but eventually I inched it into the freight elevator, then inched it into my apartment, then inched it into the spot where the old beat-up dresser lived until now. I'll hang onto the old one until Saturday so it has all weekend to be snatched up. Then, though my feet were pow'rful sore, Alex came and picked me up so we could go sneak Chipotle-to-go into Kung Fu Panda and make room for imminent George by moving some of my leftover crap out of the spare room. George gets a free Uncomfortable!Futon (TM) and Spinny!Chair (TM) because, well, because nobody wants to move them. Watched some Season3 Venture Brothers (the deconstruction, it will brainfuck you) and then schlepped some bookstacks and a pickanick basket (Hey, Booboo!) back to my place. Place is mildly cluttered until books go on shelf and old!dresser goes away. Kung Fu Panda was awesome, by the way. Jack Black is still one of my many heroes. It made me miss martial arts so strongly that I looked up Kenpo dojos in my area. If I spell it "Kempo" instead (transliteration from the Japanese can sometimes be an inexact process) I get a hit right in Alexandria, which would be fantastic...I have to get back in some semblance of shape before I try anything, though, and I'm not looking forward to fighting my pain response every step of the way. 1 comment|post comment
