8 Boxes

Recently, I moved to a house in Uptown, just half a block out of the four-square block area called LynLake. I am two blocks from Pizza Lucé, half a block from an amazing-looking coffee shop (such charm can be seen from outside!), maybe four blocks from the VFW/Herkimer/everything else at the intersection of Lyndale and Lake, and a few more blocks away from Calhoun Square. Not to mention all my friends who live within four or five blocks.

Yeah, it’s all great. But the moving process has revealed a truth about me: I love books and movies. (Music too, but you’ll see why that was not physically demonstrated in the move.) When I packed up my books and DVDs, they took up eight boxes. And not small boxes. Look:

Sure, some boxes are smaller than others, but that’s an ass-ton of boxes. And books are heavy.

I am excited to unpack these boxes and organize my books and DVDs. I may let you know how it goes.

I find this all very interesting. You may not. But I don’t care, because this is my internet.

Once Again

I had a blog. It was a WordPress blog, much like this one, but it was more cleverly named: Punnedit.net.

That’s right, I had my own domain. My friend Sam and I went in on it together. And by that I mean we wrote the blog together but he actually paid for the domain. After a while I bought it off him for a pack of Newcastle.

Recently I went back and found out Punnedit was gone. Gone! Not just the domain, but the entire website, all my posts, everything. I hadn’t written on it as much as maybe I should have, so not much was lost. But still, all of not much is still everything.

So, I trust WordPress not to delete all my words. I can’t get Punnedit on here because someone else has it (and hasn’t written on it for two and a half years), so I have this name. No one remembers actual URLs any more, it’s all links and tinyurl.com minilinks, so I put down the first thing I could think of. The end.
