Yeah. Me too.

Don't go outside...it's shitty out.
So, just days after posting about how the apartment complex had people cutting the grass, it turns into winter time....FINALLY! The wind picked up, the temperature dropped, and snow started to fall...and it is sticking. Granted, it isn't a whole lot and the wind is just blowing it all over hell, but it now feels like winter time. Okay, I'm ready for Christmas now.
That is the good news. The bad news? We have to move in this weather. Of all the weekends it decides to turn crappy out, it is this weekend. Oh irony. Mother Nature, come over here so I can bitch slap you. Of course, it'll still work out and it'll be fun and all that stuff. Our friends can't complain either, we're providing sustinance....beer and pizza, the old stand by.
So we'll see you on the other side and in the other apartment.

really? Seriously? It's January!
So I pulled into our apartment yesterday after work and what do I see? A lawn care company cutting the grass. Yeah....it is the beginning days of January and my apartment people think that it is time to cut the grass. Granted, the majority of it is green because the winters down here in Kansas suck ass, but still...it is the principle of the thing. You shouldn't have to cut the grass until at least April (maybe late March if it has been warm and rainy...you know, nice enough to make the grass green).
People down here are neurotic about their lawns. Lots of sprinkler systems, people out with hair trimmers making sure every single blade of grass is prefectly even, cutting the grass every two or three days. It is disgusting. It really truly is.

The big move
We're getting ready to move into our new apartment this weekend coming up. Stressful and time consuming. But in the same time, exciting. It is bigger and I can't wait. It is going to be a pain in the ass to unpack everything.
This is not even a portion of the shit we have packed up. Speaking of which, we don't have much of that done. I guess we should get on top of that. That is the bad thing about not having two days off in a row. I just have Wednsday off this week, and then Saturday, but we are moving that day. I guess I have the afternoons to do that.
On a different note (and now for something completly different), I just found this band called on iTunes. They sing Irish music and have very political undertones. It is a great album I found (Rifles of the I.R.A.). If you like Irish music, I suggest you check it out.
