Locking Down!!

For as long as I can remember back, I spent the entire last weekend in my apartment in Kent.   It's been interesting.   I never thought I would miss cable television as much as I do.  I watched a few movies the past few days. Reservoir Dogs, Wild Things, House of Wax, Dawn of the Dead, Palindromes, and for a few hours last night I was able to get on Hulu to watch The Office and a lot of Cops.  I did a bit of cleaning, mostly just day to day stuff like dishes and laundry.  I should have been packing, but by looking around, it isn't much that I can't handle within a few hours.

With so much left to do until the end of the month I think it's time to lock it down and quarantine myself within the 98032 zip code from here on out**.  I think I really just need to get used to coming home to an empty place every day and keeping myself in check.  It's hard to get home and not head directly to the store for a 6-pack or 5th of whiskey. No beer and no t.v. make Swirly something something. 

So here goes. With having to move in 15 days, it's time to turn on my A Game. Well at least my very best B+ Game (I have so little A Game left).  I am going to trap myself in the valley so I can start cleaning, packing, saving, blogging, and whatever else I need to clear off my plate.

It's been a long 2+ months of being broke and paying rent and bills.  At least I've found that with a strong will and great friends, I'll be able to survive anything.

Just a few shout outs. First, Adam, thanks for the extra cash, the BBH games, the beers, and just being good like that.  Big David, thanks for the cash money for my birthday.  It really tied the rent together.  To Crimp Daddy Supreme!! I don't think I would have gotten by the past 2 weeks without the $40 and $75 gift card to Safeway.  Not to mention Nathan.  Nathan.....hmmmmm......... I'm coming up blank here dude, sorry  :)  And to anybody else that has come kept me company (Mickey, kind if looking in your direction), bought me a beer or 2 (Thyda, YOU ROCK!!), or has just helped me out in anyway!!
