Touch and Go

Another fluff-type update, wherein I tell you that I have a real update to get to, once I get to it.

I close on my house on Friday. I'm moving in this weekend. Verizon is setting me up with digital cable, FiOS internet, and a landline phone number on Saturday morning. With a DVR, I might actually start watching TV again (my biggest complaint about TV being I hate scheduling my life around it). I plan on having a house-warming thingum at some time, but with Christmas and New Years' coming up, now is a rather inconvenient time. I'm told I should register at a store or two for people who would care to get me things, but beyond Bed Bath and Beyond I'm at a loss for ideas. I will need appropriate decorations for my house (geeky, but no so geeky as to ward off regular people).

All things considered, I'm doing well. I'm happy enough. I see my family regularly, and my friends are in the area. Need to get things settled so I can try seeing more of them. Still, I think I'd be happier if I had a Someone. Same old, same old. It would just give me more motivation, y'know, a reason to get up and go to work in the morning, and something more than City of Heroes and YouTube to come home to at night.

Also, I have a week and a half's worth of news articles that I've mailed to myself for comment. I mean to get those thoughts up here at some point, too.

Honestly Curious

I'm fairly certain that pretty much no one out there on my friends' list has much good to say about the Republican candidates, but I also know that most of you tend to be well-reasoned and intelligent, so: I'm curious what any of you might have to offer as far as thoughts on these presidential hopefuls. What sounds good, what sounds bad, that sort of thing. I'll accept commentary on the Democrat (or Independent) hopefuls as well, but a lot of what I do know about Them makes me rather uncomfortable as it is. Be that as it may, I'd be curious if you know of things I might particularly like (or dislike) about them.
