movin' movin' movin'

Well
This is the last night in our apartment

I can't believe after 10 years of living here we are moving into our own house. Not an apartment, not a town house, an actual house. With land and everything. I haven't lived in a house since I was like 12. It's going to be a big change. But a good change.

All our stuff is boxed up at the moment. It is very surreal. Towers and towers of boxes throughout the apartment, like some mini skyline of a place we used to live.

And at 7am tomorrow the movers come and take it all to the new place. And then I get the kitty back (he's in the kennel tonight...it's meant to be easier on him...well...that and the valium...)

And we don't quite have the internet tubes hooked up at the new place yet, so we will be withour blogs and the phone till Monday.

So wish us luck
Until later

Three things

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:05:06 +1000

Three things that made me smile today:
1. Brilliant LOL cat
2. Yard sculpture (I want it! the hubby isn't so sure...)
3. The painting in this living room. Damn, I might just have to steal that idea for our new place, its too amamzing.

Aussie music

The Presets were the guest programmers on RAGE last weekend and I love them even more after seeing them. They played 12, yes 12 Pet Shop Boys videos, Autechre, Electronic, EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN (!!), The Cure and The The (to me the hardest band to Google). Good stuff. Here is the playlist from the night.

If you don't know them, here is Are You the One by The Presets and here is My People, club classic.

*sigh*

who says you can't have fun at the mall?

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:25:36 +1000

I probably shouldn't be promoting this kind of behaviour...now that I'm a home owner and all...but damn, this looks like a LOT of fun!

thoughts

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 22:56:47 +1000

So I want to paint our kitchen floors white. They are currently wood floors stained quite dark and slealed with some sort of polyurethane. It is a very dark room, and I'm hoping to lighten it up. Here's some inspiration.

Anyone ever tried it? How much do I need to sand it? What paint would work the best? How long would it take to dry? Thought? Comments?

But aren't they pitching this ad to the wrong market? Don't women buy more chocolate than men?
I really want to know what she's saying near the end.
