A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss

Alas, our stay in our current POS apartment has finally come to an end! Tomorrow is our last day of packing, and Saturday and Sunday are moving days! We found a pretty nice house (for the area, which isn't saying much, most of the time); 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Going to give Scurry his well-deserved ManCave, since he's never had physical or mental space in any of our apartments. Best part about the move, for me, at least: we'll finally have a place that we can invite people over to without feeling cramped! I'm an extreme extrovert, so I've been dying to have a place where people can hang out comfortably.

Scurry and I have been having problems, mostly with communication; he bottles things up for so long that I don't even remember what he's talking about sometimes, and it really hurts us both. We're putting a ton of effort into being more open and supportive of one another, and I can already tell that it's helping. I'm trying to convince him to take a class or two online in spring semester; I'm more than willing to pay for it out of my financial aid, since he missed the deadlines for FAFSA.

Starting to fall asleep on the laptop, so I'm gonna hit the hay. Pics to come of the house asap.

Turn, Turn, Turn

Yep.... Today was the day; after months of avoidance, I finally cleaned out our DVR. Scrolling through was like looking back at the promise of yesterday. Sweeney Todd: keep- we still haven't watched it (it was recorded in January); Another Cinderella Story: keep- I'm lame, and loooove the tango scene in it, it's just sexy! I found a plethora of Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, and CSI episodes; but, most pleasant, was finding the CSI episode "Turn, Turn, Turn," which is my absolute favorite episode in recent history. Barring the brilliance of the Miniature Killer episodes, this one takes it for me, for one particular reason.... Nick Stokes, at the end of the episode, breaks down crying when discussing the murder victim, a 16 year old girl, who he believes he could have saved. The emotion he exhibits is unparalelled for CSI, and it tugs my heartstrings even now. I watched the episode again before deciding to keep it; I'm not ready to part with it just yet. Instead, I delete 9 episodes of Lie to Me and Nim's Island, which I cannot keep my eyes open during. Wall-E.... Well, we'll keep that one for another day. Maybe, eventually, I'll manage to stay awake for the full movie, rather than just the first 25 minutes. For now, 25 minutes is all I can give.
