Cabinets and steam sale antics...

The dragons have their new cabinet. I set it up... ish... today. Have been waiting on replacement doors for the bottom half for awhile, and I finally got them today. Cost $94 and 3 days of "Hey, you said pick them up today, what happened?"

And when I got them home, I found out they had been cut 1/8 of an inch too long.

Rather than take them back, have the guy fix it, and spend half of next week chasing him around to get them back, I 'modified' the cabinet to make them fit. I had to carve down parts of the track guard enough to let the glass pane in, but not so much that it couldn't still keep the glass in the frame.

It worked.


Smaug has the top cabinet to himself, and the girls get to share the bottom. I still need to put in the wood bits and some better decorations, but for now, it looks pretty good.

On another note, this totally happened tonight:


Yea. Steam does that. I still don't remember buying Fallout III or New Vegas.

...Not that I am complaining  :)

Moving Day etc.

Successfully moved.

Loving the new place. Kitten is still a little skeptical, but she's warming up to it.

The room here is kind of huge. I haven't had a room this big since High School when I was living at my Grandma's house. It has this really awesome sloped ceiling too.

The night before the move, I went and saw Mat's band, and gave him the guitar strap. He loved it, and used it all night.

The show was awesome. The venue had margarita pizza and Guinness. I figure that's a good dinner. Tasted good.

Flogging Molly was playing down the street, so parking was a nightmare. I had to park almost a mile away, and walk to my car in the dark. Good night to wear the trench coat I guess. At least no one messed with me.

Saturday was pretty miserable. I'm SO glad it's over. I don't know what I would have done if my Mom hadn't come out and helped - there probably would have been blood. There was a little anyway, but I'm sure there would have been more.

One of my book shelves died a horrible death. Down to two now. Don't want to have to buy a new one, so I'm really hoping that adding the scavenged shelves from the dead book shelf to the remaining book shelves will be enough.

Wednesday was finals. Breezed through the CIS final, but the math one was tough. Summation notation is a bitch, and I forgot just about everything there was to know about it. The series and patterns stuff was easy though. I just hope it was enough. I would really like to NOT have to take math over again.

Going to take something during the summer. Need to figure out what though.
