"Buried under layers of pumas and ash..."
Jul. 29th, 2006 09:29 pmBeen a busy week at work, and this week is going to be busy with SIGGRAPH. Need to get to bed, so I'll have to keep the update short.
House inspection went well. Have a bit of negotiation to do about some repairs. My house is a cleverly disguised cement house, which I guess means I'm buying a bunker. It will make my survivalist-tendency father so happy. We'll see how Todd reacts to the details next weekend when I visit him with photos and a floor plan.
Insurance and finance application are both in motion. I spent an hour getting a whole folder full of details together in preparation for the finance stuff, and after they ran my credit score they said "don't need any of it, you're good." So until my closing on the 22nd, I'm pretty much done. And like that I'll be a quarter million dollars in debt.
I'm excited, have a list of projects a mile long, and it should be good. It means spending more weekends at home than flying off to gaming conventions, which is probably a good thing all-in-all. I plan to do some stuff DIY, probably throw some work parties over the first few month--following by a real house-warming event--, and will be doing projects on and off for the foreseeable future.

jeliza and I had a good date Friday night before I left for Boston. While eating dinner at Typhoon, we were distracted by the television playing some Travel Channel show about cities destroyed by volcanoes when we noticed the close-captioning say: "The city was buried under layers of pumas and ash." Pumas! Now that's an apocalypse. A bit later they were saying that "pumas were hurled thousands of feet into the air". Being buried under pyroclastic flows of ash and great cats, that's a memorable way to go out.
