Wombles is much better.  Omba... confuses me.  I don't know why.  Whenever you call her that, I'm like "Who?  ...oh.  right."

Wombles is the one I use . . . because it invites more snuggles.

Or if I choose to pay $1,100 for an apartment it will be hella nice, and not a filthy 550-square-foot hovel. Here in AK I was lucky to even find someplace to live, and the landlady knew it, and she charged me accordingly. Sheesh. 

So you clearly won't be moving to the DC-area any time soon. My first apartment in Arlingon was exactly $1,100 for a 550-square-foot walk-up. Plus electricity.

You should move to Utah then.  I had an 1100sf* apartment and I paid $550 for it.

*Actually I think it was bigger than 1100sf, but that wouldn't be as funny would it.

It was Lore Fitzgerald Sjoberg who said that Wombats were the best animal cuz they have a "wom", a "bat," and an "omba". That's why I call her Omba.

Yeah, electricity ain't included in mine, either. There is no washer/dryer either. Plus I have to pay a landfill fee, AND HAUL MY RUBBISH TO THE LANDFILL MYSELF. While my head gets divebombed by filthy ravens and bald eagles swoop menacingly over head. And I have to wade through rivers of garbage juice. ...Oh wait, I only have to do that for one more week! Heh!!

Jeez, I think  I'm repeating myself here. Sorry about that. I whine a lot. Sorry.

Dammit, you are just trying to rub it in.

The downside is you have to live in Utah.

Yeah, but the benefit there is that you get to look over all the "garbage" and take goodies home if you want. They don't let you do that in the real world. Probably some bullshit insurance thing.



Note to other board denezins who may live somewhere in the real world: When I lived in Wasilla, AK, this shit happened all the time. I did not have garbage service at the house, and I had to load my truck up with all my garbage periodically and run it to the dump. People were always walking through the landfill hauling "valuable items" out. It was like a free garage sale. This almost certainly happens at other places, but that was the only place I ever lived that it did. Of course here in Portland, everybody just drags that crap to the curb and puts a sign on it that says "free". Well of course it's free, motherfucker - it's garbage.

Yeah, they have a special table at our baler building for the set-aside stuff. It's pretty awesome. The dudes just loooove going there and rooting around for new stuff. One of my coworkers said that she hated to have her husband go to the landfill just because he would come home with more shit than he came to throw away.

Man, thanks a lot, Lenny!

I have a little bit of damage to repair so I can get my deposit back. He clawed the landlady's table, so I had to get wood putty, fill it, sand it, and repaint the table legs. Of course...I'm too lazy to repaint everything. I got a French Manicure pen from Sephora, so I'm using that to cover the yellowish wood putty. I cut up an old t-shirt and covered each table leg with it.

Milan wrote the book on being good, of course. Lenny is good when he's sleeping! ;) Heh. Just kidding, he is sweet all the time, and he manages to be mostly good when he's not destroying shit.

Lenny is proud of the effort that is undertaken to erase the marks made by his bad little claws.

Yeah!! it will be great to be home. I had a phone interview today and it looks like I might have an in person interview on Monday or Tuesday.

Also, a news bulletin: Packing to move can go eat a bowl of dicks. This is horrible. I have my friends coming in 24 hours to help me load all this shit and take it to the warehouse. From there it will be shrinkwrapped onto pallets. It will cost roughly $1,000 per pallet of boxes, and I don't even have any furniture. It will get shipped to Tacoma, and from there my freight forwarding dude will put it on a truck to Denver.

Craaazy. I'm glad that it's summer, because otherwise I would be hella pissed about being separated from my Tassimo espresso machine for this goddamn long.

Man, I have no idea. Probably 4 to 6 weeks for my shit to show up.

I will be in town on July 1st. Hopefully my interview will be on July 2nd. I really want to get a vehicle ASAP. If I had a car it would only take me 20 minutes to get from my place to work...taking the bus means that it's at least 45 minutes to commute 8 miles in suburbia. Yay.
