Minute44 - Dan Schonhaar

Tonight I moved pretty much everything out of my house on Broadmeadows. I’m super sad to be leaving the house but excited at the same time because, as nice as the house was, it was a financial black hole from which not even loose pocket change could escape. Only things left to move now are my TVs and stands a chest of drawers and a couple more bits and pieces which will go tomorrow.

When I first saw the new house I was a little scared to tell you the truth because it is super old fashioned inside. I have been given pretty much carte blanche to decorate it how I see fit though which is excellent and now that I’ve moved my stuff in, it already looks a million times better. The 3 piece suite is outstanding, Both arm chairs and the 2 seater sofa are recliners which is just great and the whole lot is plush cream leather. They’ll make the living room super cozy. A couple of things want a lick of paint but that’s easy. So once I’m fully settled in it should look just fine.

By bedroom is going to be the best room in the house. It’s much bigger than my room at Broadmeadows and has had fresh carpets and paint. There’s gonna be room for a sofa in there too which means it’ll be great for chilling out and reading a book or (possibly) hanging a white sheet over the curtains and projecting a movie. That’d be so sweet and I know a couple of friends with projectors plus there’s a small chance I could borrow one from work on a special occasion. The window is massive too so when the curtains are open the room is really light.

This could well be the last post you see from me for a couple of weeks, unless I manage to get one done in my lunch breaks at work. I should get enough time to reply to comments and stuff though. I have to wait until broadband is put live at the new house. There is already an active BT line in place so it shouldn’t take too long, between 5 and 10 working days is normal. When that happens it’ll be business as usual, perhaps even better than usual because I’m looking at buying a laptop in the next month or two to use as my main computer. What makes it even better is that my boss has said it’s cool for me to order it through the supplier that we, at work, use for IT stuff. It turns out that they get a really good discount on Dell stuff so maybe they can help me out. I’m only looking to spend about £400-$450 but 2GB of memory is a must because I want to get Adobe CS3 installed on there and it won’t even give you the time of day unless you have 1GB of RAM available. I also want to find out if it may be cheaper to buy a machine with 1GB or RAM and upgrade it after from Crucial or something. I will has good think about it.

What else is going to be new then…? Well, my mum is on the lookout for a kittie for me. Because of the letting agreement at house in Broadmeadows I couldn’t own any pets so I’m taking this opportunity to get a cat. I’m after a grey short-haired kitten, preferably a female. Me and Nat have already decided it will be called Juno (as long as it doesn’t get pregnant). I’m really really excited about owning a cat as they’re loads of fun and they do the stupidest stuff. I reckon icanhascheezburger.com is gonna be having plenty of new photos uploaded from yours truly.

Well, until next time, wish me luck with the move and I’ll catch you all later.

Dan.
