...nice to look at, but it doesn't do a lot.
So, not a whole lot of things to note in the past week or so. As you know, we are moving to a house in Albany, so we've spent most of our evenings moving stuff from apartment to house. All the utilities are in our name now, so we're now on the hook for them. In between all the busy work that comes with moving, I've only just begun Christmas shopping.
And of course, because it's the holidays, and money is a bit tighter, that's when the unexpected expenses come a-flooding in. Case in point--the car is in AGAIN for more repairs. I mean, yes, it's pushing 160,000 miles, and now is where it's starting to be quite cantankerous in its old age, much like the 1st Doctor. And yes, the brakes are shot to hell and the rear everything is rusted and needs to be replaced, but still...why now of all times? And anytime car repairs need to be made and I see the bill, I always get anxious. Probably overly so. Maybe it's a trait I picked up from my stepdad, who seems to be constantly worried about finances. It can be frustrating sometimes.
In other news, the season finale of Downloadable Content goes up on Monday. It's been a good year--24 episodes, tons of discussion, and lots of fun. I already have ideas for some of next year's episodes, including the anniversary episodes. Be sure download them from iTunes!
And also coming up will be Character Battle 14: Chronos. I've yet to make a bracket for it, simply because I haven't had time, but I suspect that I'm starting this contest later than I originally hoped for, largely due to moving and such.
With the weather finally getting cold, it feels like December at last. I've put up lights in my cubicle at work, and I've been listening to a lot of Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It helps, not only to drown out the everlasting stupid that goes on in my office, but also prevents me from listening to some of my co-workers who constantly gripe about it being cold outside. Bring on the snow, dang it!
