FFS #15: I'm Back!!11oneone

This comic is more about the newspost than the actual comic. I kind of recorded my thoughts over the last week. Boring, I know…But here goes:

10.13.07

Well, the move went…something. I still do not have a fridge, which is kind of shitty, but I am adapting. I am living off Mr. Noodles right now, and with Pizza Pizza just down the street, probably that. There were a couple things that just kind of pissed me off, most of which due to my unorganized packing skills, which led to an hour-long search for the A/V cables for my Xbox.

I am getting used to the usual stuff associated with living in an apartment. The noises in the hall…well, that’s about it. Living on my own is also kind of boring, but at the same time, I don’t have to worry about sharing the TV, or anything of the sort. No more being paranoid about my things going missing. And most of all, I get to keep it as clean as I want it to be, which so far is pretty damn clean.

I just wish I had internet at this point, so that I could post things like this, look at videos on YouTube, and so on, and so forth. For now, I will just compile this journal-like thing. I also want to start ripping most of the CDs that I own, that I don’t have on my computer, but I am too lazy to change the song titles on my own. Yet another reason to want Internet.

I will add more tomorrow morning, when I wake up.

10.14.07

I got a fair amount of sleep last night. I woke up, and was plagued with the standard affliction after a move—I didn’t know where the hell I was. I wandered around for a bit to get my bearings, and then I took a seat. I showered, and decided I would try to give my superintendent a call, to see about getting the key and fridge situations sorted out.

Sadly, her phone was off for a good three hours while I tried to call.

Eventually, I did get a hold of her, and I’m supposed to be getting my fridge today as well as my key, which is awesome. I was going to go up to the mall today, to see if they had the new issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, as the rumor was that the Guitar Hero III demo was packaged with it. I can’t verify this at the moment, because I do not have Internet, and the cable guy did not call me back.

Today has been a remarkably lazy day. I played some Final Fantasy VIII, because I want to see if I can get through that game. And if I have time before the net comes back, and Halo 3 takes over, I want to try and get through IX.

I just can’t wait to get my fridge so that I can store food that isn’t noodles and rice. Once I get it, I will need to do some grocery shopping, I think. But probably not.

7:30 PM

Well, I had to call my super in order to get them to lock my door so that I could go retrieve my food from the old place. They did so, and when I returned, I waited for a good twenty minutes for them to show back up so that I could get into my place. When they finally showed up, they handed me a key. Finally, I have a key for my apartment.

I still don’t have a fridge, though.

10.15.07

Today is my first actual work day since moving in. No big deal. I am walking to work today, because I forgot to get the number of the supervisor that is supposed to be driving me, plus I want to get in some time on the phones for more money.

I was able to get ready in record time, too. Half an hour from the first step out of bed, I was dressed and ready to leave for work. Thinking about going to Tim Horton’s for breakfast, but I’m not too sure yet. Money’s a little tight.

Hopefully they get me a fridge today.

10.16.07

Well, I came home from work last night to find a fridge in my kitchen, which was pretty awesome. It’s starting to feel more and more like home every day. I also talked to Cogeco last night, and I should be getting my internet on Saturday, so here’s hoping.

I think I am going insane.

10.19.07

Another day stuck in the apartment today. Puralator is supposed to be shipping a box to me, care of Cogeco, to take to the old place to get the modem out of there, and ship it back. I’m hoping that it shows up soon, but it’s already 2:00 PM. I want to make sure I get over there to do some of the cleaning that needs to be done, but I am not making two trips to that end of town when I only need to make one. If it doesn’t show up soon, then I am probably going to go back to sleep.

I also did some laundry this morning. The laundry room is pretty huge. But who gives a shit about laundry?

Tomorrow is the day when I am supposed to be getting my internet set up here, as well as my digital cable, so that’s pretty exciting. Finally, this bored feeling will go away. At least, I hope it will. There’s so much that I feel I am out of the loop on. My brain hurts. I want cookies.

I keep forgetting about Tuesday, too. I should probably do something, but at the same time, I find myself wondering where I am going to get the money to do anything. No matter.

I think I need to eat something other than theatre popcorn today. I just don’t feel like cooking what little is in my freezer, and what I do feel like making, well, I would need bread, or hot dog buns, or something to that effect. I do not have anything like that.

I miss alcohol.

10.20.07

Cable guy is supposed to come today. Joy. Finally, I won’t be living under a rock anymore. Yay.

I do have some things I wanted to throw out there once I got back online, one of which is a hand drawn sketch advertising FFS and it’s new style. It’s pretty awesome.
