last night some people from work went to catch the opening of X2 down at universal citywalk. the movie was quite good, but it was something else that really struck me.

when we entered the theatre i was suprised. 2 people had out laptops, one watching another movie, the other was doing some modeling in max (i think). we ended up sitting near the top of the theatre and looking down i saw no fewer than 2 gameboys and 30 celphones all playing games, surfing the internet and doing other tech/geek things.

this probably should come as no suprise to me, opening night for a movie like X2 was bound to bring out the people who love their tech, but i was a bit suprised all the same. we love our gadgets and they are becoming more and more a part of our lives.

my apartment is in a state of 3/4 disarray as the packing has begun for my move. i will probably finish up the majority of the packing tomorrow and it is not looking all that bad. funny how much bigger my little place looks with all of the stuff down off the walls and things packed tight away in boxes and the like.

another week blurs by as i get ready to go to austin for my sister's graduation and then back to close on the house. trying to keep everything in perspective while at the same time getting everything that i need to done. while owning a home is going to be a whole lot in terms of keeping it up and all of that, i cannot imagine that it is anything compared to all of the work getting the house and taking care of all of the things required to do so. couple that with the busiest that work has been all cycle and i am a bit on the stressed side, but managing to keep it all in perspective. sometimes having aspects of your life that are grown-up are so worth it though.

melissa and i now are in the house. the last 3 days have been crazy, closing on friday, moving on saturday and then various projects throughout the house over the last 2 days. melissa painted the kitchen last night and today, learning to love the power roller in the process. i put up new organizers in the closets and cleaned up the garage. the office is set up as is the TV. high-def stations are really REALLY nice.

this week is going to be killer at work, but at least the stress of moving is over. now the stress of finishing settling in and getting used to all of the stuff that homeowners deal with is on my agenda.
