Update time! Warning, life is boring in a good way, but that means that this update probably won't be particularly interesting.

The only major thing that has happened since I last updated ages and ages ago is that Daniel and I bought a condo! It's a two bedroom, one bath only about two blocks from where we are now. It's a really nice place: updated kitchen, really cool bathroom fixtures, exposed brick in the living room and it's got a patio AND a deck. We close on it at the end of this month and move in on August 3rd. So right now half of our apartment is filled with boxes and we're finishing up with packing pretty soon. We're obviously really excited for our move and can't wait to get settled in to our new place. Once we've mostly unpacked I'll definitely take some pictures to post here.

Otherwise, not much has changed. Daniel and I are still going strong at 3 years and...let's see...5 months. He's very happy at his job and his company has been getting awesome publicity lately, which is great. As for me, work is work...it's not particularly exciting and often pretty stressful. I'm waiting to hear back about a raise, but I've also been looking for work elsewhere in a field I'm actually interested in. But if it takes awhile to find something else it's not like I'm super unhappy where I am.

Otherwise I've just been doing my usual thing: hanging out with Danny a lot watching movies and TV (we're finishing up watching all of The West Wing currently), playing video games (Diablo III of course!) and reading. I've been on a LeGuin kick lately, reading wise. And soon I"ll be reading lots of fantasy and sci-fi, as I'm taking a course at coursera.com on the subject.

I hope life is treating all of you well!

The Dispossessed is one of my favorite books. I read the Earthsea Trilogy to the boys last winter.

Are you ready for home ownership? Kah is a wheel!

Where are you working now?

Hey Morgan! Congrats on the condo. That's super exciting. Since I saw you here in LA, I have moved to Silver Lake in an amazing apartment built in 1930. I'm super happy with it and will probably be here for many, many years.

"Life is Good" boring is the best kind of boring. Congrats on the condo. Three years and five months, huh? Man, time flies don't it?

Glad things are still going well up there. Life will deal us plenty of curveballs whether we like it or not - the happy boring times are not to be taken for granted.

Congrat's on the condo! We'll be expecting pictures. smile

Boring can indeed be good. Yay for home ownership! Is this place a renovated warehouse or factory kind of place? There's a lot of that in our area down here. (The mention of exposed brick made me think of that.)

Boring is pretty good. Too much excitement isn't good for you. Congrats on the new place have fun with the move. Remember to pack the bed last so it gets unpacked first. One thing I've learned from my many moves, is that it doesn't matter how much gets done as long as you have a bed to sleep in at the end of the day.
