Cool Weekend
The past few days have been really awesome, John and I went to IKEA and bought my furniture =). Not all of it is assembled yet. So after a nice chill day at work on Friday, we made the IKEA trip, and slept on a mattress that night, YES!
On Saturday Elizabeth (my friend from work) brought her friend Gualepay, and the 3 of us went out to lunch at the Taste of Africa, a Cameron cuisine that is a walking distance from me, then they showed me the Flea Market, as well as a little music store that’s not too far from where I am. That night I got to go to a costume party, Liz (who used to live in the Muse) was having it with her house mates, the house was literally a 5 minute walk from The Muse, I was Lenny Kravitz, of course. The funny thing is, I actually didn’t need to get a costume, I wore my Leather Jacket, Funky Yellow Glasses, and let my puffy hair by, well, puffy. It was helariouse. The night was full of laughs and great costumes, loads of fun.
I woke up Sunday to Guita & Steve making us brunch, they make pancakes, eggs and hash browns, the few of us to were up on time got to sit around the big kitchen table, eat and enjoy a few laughs. It was so pleasant.
After we helped cleaning the dishes, I went to my nook, finished reading Alien Harvest, then started assembling my closet, it was a little bit frustrating, I did it by my self, and I almost sawed a part off, because they neglected to mention that one side of the closet is “wider” & “longer” then the other. Anyways, It was successfully assembled, and I was able to finally take my cloths out of the bag, hang my suit, and then put my travel bag inside. It has sliding doors, so its very space efficient.
John’s car got broken into, they stole his GPS, and his HardDrive. Poor guy. They actually left his keyboard, and stands. So yesterday he moved those into the nook with us, which means I got my nightstand in my room, sweet.
It now actually looks like a humanized room, with a place to sleep, my little table with things in it, and my closet. Sweet.
After John gets his room, which should be by the end of this week or so, then I could assemble my desk, and arrange my “living” area, which will be both my office/ entertainment area. Luckily I’m using my Laptop as my main machine, so I didn’t need to get anything massive. I will also be buying a small flat screen from John’s friend Benet, it takes in VGA as well as A/V hookup, so that was I can use that when I want to watch DVDs, instead of watching it on my laptop screen.
I got all set up, I think by next week I should have everything set up for my Ash Space.
Last night, they had little party for Shiela, who is moving out in 2 days or so, so a whole bunch of my new friends from the costume party were there, we all stood around telling jokes & riddles, it was hilarious. Then at night, the guitars came out, we all huddled up at the common room and started singing and having a jolly good time. It was nice.
Now I’m here at The Nomad Cafe, checking the interweb, and then I’m heading over to Radio Shack to get some supplies. Is it funny than when people need supplies they go to Home Depot, but when I need supplies I go to an electronic store? heheh, I’m such a geek.
I hope you are all doing well over there, I’ll keep in touch. =)
Salaam.
