I have such an exciting life...
I'm currently sitting next to the living room window, watching for the UPS truck to arrive. We ordered a bunch of boxes and some bubble wrap for this move. This is because I'm paranoid and fully believe that professional movers like to purposely break things packed in crappy boxes that can be stolen from dumpsters. Further, for the first time ever, we have to pack all 300 of our books into boxes instead of milk crates.
We've been waiting for these boxes for days, and our tracking information insists that the boxes will be here today. Lauren has her doubts. I'm too anxious to have doubts. In the meantime, I'm continuing to copy all our videos to DVD (is it wrong that watching home videos makes me want a baby even more?) and looking helplessly around our apartment at the piles of stuff.
Tonight we'll have a reprieve from our current routine of packing, visiting Carly at Caribou, and digging up food: we're going to a Twins game! The last time I went to a baseball game was in 2000, on the day I met Kennedy. I'd like to pause for a moment and revel in that strangeness.
Done.
And in conclusion, I'd like to share that my kindergarten boyfriend, Tim, looked eerily like Macaulay Culkin.

When my computer crashed to the point that there was no way to repair it, I monkeyed with it, got it up and running enough that it looked like it worked, and traded it in at a Big Chain Store for a $400 credit, which I used to buy a DVD burner. Good stuff.

Question - are you using a free or paid version of movable type?
Posted by: Laura at July 17, 2005 03:43 PM
This is definitely the free version. I'm cheap.

sweet.
I might start using it -- I set up wordpress, but it's not as easily customizable as I would like -- how's movable type as far as customization?
Posted by: Laura at July 19, 2005 07:33 PM
That's sort of tough to answer, as I haven't tried to customize anything yet. I just haven't had time right now, what with the move.
But I'm relying on http://www.elise.com/mt/ to teach me what I CAN do once I have time, so maybe you can poke around there and see for yourself.
