My first purchase!

I don't have a major home improvement center close to me, but I do have an OSH. I went to get paint supplies and to check out what they had in a general sense. I know I need some lighting for the outdoors and when I saw this guy, I couldn't leave it:


Is it weird to name an outdoor lighting fixture? I think I'll call him Malibu.

Also, I only had a dinky, 6ft "apartment" tape measure and my utility knife never appeared after my move to Cali so I got those too:



My utility knife has flowers. I think I love OSH.

Damn Internet Explorer

I use Firefox exclusively at home (b/c I hate Microsoft products). At work, we are forced to use IE and only IE. The blog looks funny, nay, ugly on IE here at work (at least on these computers). I'm not sure why, since it looked just fine on Firefox at home, and I'm not going to even try to figure it out. So for best viewing, use Firefox. Or Opera. (which you should be using anyway).

Starter Home

Yes, I've bought a house! It's a 1915 Craftsman in Pasadena. It's small, with a small yard. It needs a bunch of work (which is how I could afford a house in this crazy California housing market). So it's a starter home (welcome to the world of equity!). Pictures will be posted later this week. It's exciting & scary.

aw, crap, I gotta pack & move again.

Still, yay! It's worth it.
