7:17 am	Packing & Moving Info Finally got the last bit of the contract (mostly) worked out with the crazy bitch buyer. Packing Day! Sunday Dec 20th 10a-4p at Casa del Gato By then I should be pretty much down to the kitchen & bathroom, I've been keeping up a daily box quota since this process started. Moving Day! Wed Dec 23rd starting at Casa del Gato moving to Shiny New Yet to be Named Movers are set to arrive around 8a & I'll need to leave the house around 9a to sign papers. Could use help directing traffic, baby sitting the house while I'm out signing papers, and a car or two to move misc crap that doesn't fit well in boxes (ie lamps, artwork, stereo). Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded with much affection and maybe pizza :) Current Mood: anxious (Comment on this)

4:22 pm	Dragon Con 2009! Getting picked up later, much later, tonight :) Been excited about the trip, but have been having trouble breaking through the inertia. Dealing with some moderate depression, not unsurprising given the time of year. So lined up to volunteer with the Art Show which gives me a discounted ticket and some nifty experience. Got 3 costumes done: a new Star Trek original series uniform, a BSG ready uniform, and a B5 psi-corp costume. Should prove to be lots of fun. Current Mood: bouncy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:39 am	WFS: The Day the Earth Stood Still Webster University Film Series Presents July 31, August 1 & 2 at 8PM The Day the Earth Stood Still (Robert Wise, 1951, USA, 92 min.) When alien Klaatu (Michael Rennie) and his mighty robot Gort (Lock Martin) land their spacecraft on Cold War-era Earth to bring an important message to the planet, they have a hard time getting the message across to the trigger happy Earthlings. After escaping a hospital, Klaatu moves in as a boarder with an Earth family. When they begin to suspect him, he reveals himself, along with the news that Gort is a member of a race of super-robot enforcers invented to keep the peace of the galaxy, and - listen up – he will destroy the Earth if provoked. Far superior to the bulk of the 1950’s sci-fi flicks, Wise’s film is a rich, allegorical meditation the Cold War. For more information go to: http://www.webster.edu/filmseries Admission is $6 for the general public, $5 for seniors, students from other schools and Webster alumni, and $4 for Webster University staff and faculty unless otherwise noted. All films screened in Moore Auditorium on the campus of Webster University, 470 E. Lockwood, Webster Groves, MO unless noted. The Webster University Film Series receives funding from the Regional Arts Commission; the Arts and Education Council of Greater St. Louis; and the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.

10:46 am	Sans Roommates As several people already know, the roommate situation with my thing too has not been working out. So as of the end of the month I will be sans roommates. This will be the first time I've ever lived by myself, weird. If you want to know details you may ask me privately, I may or may not give answers. So I am looking for not one, but two roommates at this time. I do have a line on someone from Kansas City, we'll see where that goes. Current Mood: disappointed (1 Comment |Comment on this)
