The land of Kreepy Individual

King of the Castle

Today, right after work, I am going to look at a rental house. I’ve been in the on campus apartments at University of Louisville for 6 months and I don’t want to be there all of next year. I found a house really close to campus and my job and it’s also really cheap (really too good to be true, I’m wondering what’s wrong with it. That’s why I’m taking a tour today). I was in an apartment for a year already before I went into on campus housing and I have to tell you… I don’t like them. Apartments are horrible things to live in, no loud music, no loud movies, no explosives. When I went into my search this time I was sure to only look at houses. No way am I getting involved with anything other than my own living space this time around. My brother is graduating high school this year, so he should be moving in with me in really early June I hope. He is also going into engineering… but I think, unlike me, he actually intends to be an engineer. BORING!

I’m stoked about actually getting to see this thing. If it looks half as good as the picture I am going to put a deposit on it immediately, I think. It’s rather large (1060 sq. ft. for two people is quite a bit of room) and, like I said, it’s right next to campus. I will literally be able to walk to class in the mornings. (I think Google maps said it was 0.7 miles from my classes lol, am I have a pretty nice bike) My only dilemma is getting all of my stuff from Cincinnati to here… I have a pickup, but that’s a lot of furniture and gas is $400 million a gallon. It’s going to be a couple of expensive trips, that’s for sure. It sucked moving it all from my apartment here back to Cinci when I went into the dorms. And I moved everything myself: dressers, tables, beds, couches, you name it… difficult because I’m a kripple. I really don’t want to do it again, but hopefully this is the end for a while, that would make me feel much better.

They kept me pretty busy at work today, so I didn’t really get anything done. I was trying to hook up this new wireless adapter I got (some usb edimax with a huge external antenna) to see if I could pick up that rogue wireless signal down the street (my EEE won’t grab it, my intel card in my Dell gets it alright though), but installing new hardware in Linux is a b*tch. So, that was a no go while I was working. I need a lot of free time to figure it out. Wish I was working on something fun :)
