We’ve rented a new place! It’s a gigantic house, with two floors plus a basement. Nine foot ceilings! It’s in pretty ratty shape, but it’s over 130 years old, so there ya go.

Of course, being a very old house means that there are probably no more than ten power outlets in the entire place. We’ll just have to stock up on power strips and try not to overdo any one outlet.

And the landlord is sooooo friendly. I certainly don’t expect anything extra from him just because we get along… it’s just so nice to actually have an interesting and friendly person as your landlord. I once worked a corporate job where the ironic in-house motto was “easy to do business with,” and this nice man seems to embody just that. And his wife is an artist! She works with oils, and does Manet Impressionism!

So, if anyone wants to help us fix the place up and move, let me know. I can’t promise reasonable reciprocation, but if you like beers or i can do anything for you, we’ll work something out.

It’s huge. I cannot state this enough. Gargantuan. Nice area, too.

And pets? Way, way allowed. Very cool.

Unfortunately, we are stuck paying rent where we’re at until mid-July. Oh well. It’ll be a little tougher for the few couple of months, but we’ll be okay. I plan on starting moving over to the new place as soon as possible, though.

I can’t wait to start recording regularly and working on guitars. I plan on eventually making it a sort of hobby business. Eventually, i want to start turning out my own custom guitars.

Also, i did get my PC back from the shop… but it still has restart/power-down issues. I can live with it. At least i can work on it without it going all wonky in the middle of anything at any time.

And… the 1-month mensiversary of my grandfather’s exit was yesterday. Foul, foul day it was. I am still heartbroken, natch.
