Jake’s Life

I am not sure what, but something happened to the last week of posts and comments. I just re-posted the entries.

Have a Violent Night!

I recently discovered a great time-waster: OPENhulu. It’s a catalog of full episodes of television shows online in Flash format (a la YouTube). Free, and no registration needed!

Well, as promised, here are some photos from our day trip to Deception Pass on Saturday. It didn’t go quite as planned, with him harping me as to where we were going, me caving in, getting pissy, him getting pissy, deciding to go minutes before work called me in later that day, and the 45 degrees and sunny tuning into 38 degrees and rainy, but we still made it happen.

Well today I was planning to surprise Sandro with a day trip, then he found out, then I found out I had to wok, but we still went anyway. I took about 30 photos and took video of us driving back and admiring the shrimp stands, so stay tuned!

Now that I’ve started packing I’m noticing that I’m a packrat. I keep a lot of things I don’t need because “What if I may need it?” I’m going to apply the same principles in packing for my move that I did in organizing my workspace.

How have you cut your clutter while moving?

I heard back from that apartment and my app was approved, so I’ll be moving in effective the first of January. Between now and then I have a lot to do, mainly packing and de-cluttering (the new place doesn’t have much storage room, so I pretty much have only my bedroom to keep things in).

I’m off to sleep. Packing later.

So I came across this free GeoBytes tool today. You input an IP address, such as those from the anonymous, derogatory comments left on my site a while back, and it gives you not only the rough geographical area the connection is in, but also the latitude and longitude, such as in Kent, Everett, and just outside Tacoma. Isn’t that weird?

Sorry folks, finding a place and selling a lot of my stuff has been taking a lot out of me the last few days…I just got around to approving everyone’s comments this morning. It won’t be like this for very much longer though, and I do plan on communicating with those who have e-mailed me. BTW, Eliot, shoot me an e-mail and I’ll explain why I edited your comment.

I’ll be publishing my rinky-dinky blogroll awards soon too!

I think I found a place. It’s in one area I was looking in which brings me closer to Sandro and other friends. It’s with two girls that would prefer to live there for a while, a relatively safe area (no area is 100% safe), and the apartment looks big.

When I first stated my current job this was my patrol area and I’ve been to this complex before, but it’s usually pretty quiet. It has the usual apartment home stuff: Fireplace, balcony, storage, parking, weight room, pool, hot tub (not sure about sitting in others’ juices though), etc.

I’m trying not to put all my eggs in one basket, but I think this is going to be the place. The current roommates have already paid the deposit so all I have to worry about is rent.
