Let me just say "yay" for a moment.

I've had a lot more activity on my Tumblr blog, only because there's a massive community on there that I reblog from.

So.

I have my cable and internet turned on.

My office is (somewhat) set up.  I have the desk set up, my computer on it, and the cabling taken care of.  Desk lamp, printer, all that jazz... BUT, I still have to organize some stuff that I haven't gotten to yet.

The TV stuff is set up.  My kitchen is set up.  My bedroom is set up.

It's perfect.

I just need some artwork to put on the walls, and I'm thinking of buying some more canvases and painting them so I have something to hang.  Some stuff with color, and abstract.  But that's a lot of work right now... maybe after things settle.  I can work on them over my week break for the holidays, maybe.

Pictures will be forthcoming once I get the office settled more and my artwork done.

Whoo-hoo!  I've waited for this for a long time.

I wanted to clean up my desk. Not a simple prospect, since I have a lot of stuff on this desk that I need to use.  But, I had a lot of books and other things that I wasn't using (burned CDs, game CDs, etc) that I needed to clean up. First, some pictures: I removed a bunch of books, got rid of the magazines (moved upstairs to my bookshelf), re-organized the CDs into a CD wallet, threw away unused detritus I haven't touched in six months, threw away booklets to long-lost gadgets that were donated or thrown away or recycled, and put all of my cords in a CD spindle that I cut the center spindle out of.  This is a brilliant way to clean up cords that you don't use as often as you like.  Saw off that center spindle so you can fit more cords (and wall-warts) into the case, recycle the spindle, and put your cords, wall-warts, and other things in it.  Screw the top on (which was formerly the bottom) and you have a nice, simple box to hold your cords. Some after pics: As you can see, I have a slight obsession with penguins.  :)  They were my sorority mascot, and they are the mascot of Linux (Tux) so I generally keep them around my computer. Anyway, I wanted to share my cleanup with the web.  I promised everyone that follows my twitter/identi.ca/friendfeed/etc that I'd post before and after pics.  So, I did.
