Things have been hectic as of late. By the time I get home from work and get the essentials out of the way - eating dinner; checking email, livejournal, and Potter sites; winding down from the workday; etc. - I seem to have little time for anything else. Lately, that little time left has been spent organizing, minimizing, and packing up all the shit I’ve accumulated over the past eight years of my life, as Crys and I will be moving to a new (smaller) home at the end of the month. I’m excited for the change of scenery, but completely overwhelmed by the actual moving process. This, however, will be our last move until the “big move”, to wherever we end up going to grad school. And when that happens, I fully intend to sell everything I own and move halfway across the country with only a bag full of clothes and a wad of cash in my pocket.

Celebrated my 27th birthday last Friday, first with pizza and beer courtesy of Josh, then with lots of vodka and some random shots at the Hole with the rest of the crew. A fun time was had by all, and especially by me. Because I was all kinds of drunk, really.

I totally just realized that I’m getting way old. I’m in my late 20’s, yeah? Wow. I need to do something with my life. The GRE has been postponed until late July or August because of all of this moving crap, so I’ll have to start re-studying (does that make sense?) after we’re settled. Crys wil be taking it then, too, so she says we’ll study together. It’s nice that she’ll be there to kick me in the ass - because I know that I’ll need it. And more than once, most likely.

Today’s just one of those days. The kind where you’re just not feeling it. I have an entire list of shit that needs to get done, but I really just don’t want to do it. Instead, I’d like to camp out in front of the telly and watch Potter movies all night. With a pint of Ben & Jerry’s in my hand.

Maybe I’ll have ice cream for dinner.
