Okay, so I forgot to mention this in my last post: Comcast screwed us by telling us to show up from 12 - 4 pm on Easter Sunday and then actually sending a tech at 9:25 am. So I had to reschedule for today. Anyway, we got there a little after 11:30 am, so we grabbed lunch at Arby’s and waited. The cable guy showed up around 2:00 pm which was good since it gave us a chance to get some stuff unpacked and put away. My new bedroom closet is unusually well organized now.

While I was there, I pinned up my Emek Weezer poster. Turns out it’s much nicer than I thought — it’s a limited edition (109/300), signed, and the artist even did a little doodle on the border. The paper it’s silkscreened onto is really thick, so it curls out between the tacks… I’m thinking about getting it framed. He also included another smaller, signed three-color poster (a matte version of this Ween poster, but without the text and only about 5″x7″). Think I’ll pin that one up in my bedroom.

After the tech left, we went to Costco (only about 2 miles from the apartment in Federal Way). Got some bulk TP and paper towels, yogurt cups, bar soap, a host of prepackaged beverages (Mug Root Beer, Wild Cherry Pepsi, some orange soda, Diet Dr. Pepper, and a variety pack of vitaminwater), some frozen food, and a couple salmon filets (for dinner tonight).

Put in a reservation for a 14′ U-Haul truck for the 19th. Guess that’s my official move date now. The price was lower than I’d expected — only $29.95 plus 79¢/mile.

I started reading the Jonah Hex comics. They’re not the sort I would’ve picked out on my own (Dan recommended them), but I’ve quickly become a fan. The genre is straight western — no magic, no superheroes, no zombies, no aliens. Just a disfigured civil war veteran-turned-bounty hunter/vigilante. He’s especially interesting because of his strict (albeit somewhat atypical) moral code and his hatred of God (which he would say is mutual). I haven’t figured out the comic’s continuity yet… is it a continuation, reboot, or retcon? Anyway, it’s super keen.
