Moving soon! eBay auctions ahoy!

As we get ready to move into our new apartment, April, Danielle (speccygeekgrrl), and I are putting some extraneous stuff on eBay in the hopes people buy said stuff and ultimately, lighten our loads. 

As of now, the stuff I put up on sale today consists of some books and graphic novels:

--From Hell, by Alan Moore
--Volumes 1 and 2 of The Perhapanauts
--Tellos Colossal, Volume 1
--Doctor Who Classics, Volume 1
--Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone, Collector's Edition
--A pack of 10 Kid Icarus Uprising AR (Augmented Reality) cards (to be used in conjunction with the game of the same name for the 3DS)

Danielle has put up for sale some of her BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs) perfumes/oils. Maybe some of you lovely people would love to grab some of it and smell awfully nice.

Well, thank goodness. Election is OVER. Glad at the result, although I was an idiot and stayed up till 2 AM that night watching the concession/victory speeches. WORTH IT. Not only was I glad for myself, but I was extremely happy for all my LGBT friends, and of course, all my female friends (who far and away are the majority of my friends) who get to keep all their ladybits and their dignity. I think Jon Stewart said it best though--after ALL THE MONEY that was spent these past few years, we ended up with no change in terms of our federal government. And we're gonna reap those consequences. For all of our bellyaching, all our griping about this Congress, we pretty much voted them all back. Apparently, that whole "only 10% of the country actually approves of this Congress" wasn't enough to sway us, as a whole, to elect a whole new one. There were, of course, some notable changes: Elizabeth Warren was elected, Tammy Baldwin (first openly gay Senator), the woman who is a wounded veteran whose name currently escapes me...the fact that now the Senate is 20% female. Awesome stuff. There's room for more improvement, to be sure, but these things will take time. But it's over. And Florida STILL hasn't been decided yet--THANK GOD THE ELECTION DIDN'T HINGE ON FLORIDA AGAIN FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

I can only hope now, with the majority (albeit a slim one) of the country picking President Obama again, that the GOP finally get off their totally obstructionist, spiteful, and racist (yes, I said it--let's not beat around the bush here) views of him, and actually do the work we want them to do. He can't seek a 3rd term, so there's no sense in trying to stymie everything he does anymore.

Politics aside, I've come to the realization that we have about 5 weeks left in this semester. And my current course load reflects that: we're reaching the point in the semester where the assignments are getting longer, more involved, and more time-consuming. Soon final papers, projects, and portfolios will be on the horizon, and I expect to be buried in all of it. 

And on top of all this, we begin the process of moving house in A WEEK. We signed the lease on the new apartment on Wednesday, and starting the 15th, we begin transitioning. OY. I have a feeling that April will be doing the bulk of the moving since I'll be unavailable, but I'll see if I can help when I can. I still can't do much in terms of heavy lifting (still have a slowly healing wound to contend with), but any help is better than none. In the meantime, I've been putting stuff on eBay that we don't need, and so far, everything that's been posted has sold. If you wanna have a look, check out the stuff for sale right here.

So, yeah. That's the current goings-on. More to come, I'm sure.
