Jake’s Life

Disgusting. This article blames it on ”consumer desperation amid a bleak economy,” but it’s obviously the “do what I want, when I want, where I want, to whom I want” mentality.

Full story.

Sandro and I finished moving on Sunday to our new place. It feels great to be out of the old one and here with each other. We made a last minute switch in new apartments from the 2BR to a 1BR down the street, and we’re so much happier with it. The apartment we moved into is less than two years old, everything is new, we’re on the 3rd floor (which makes it easier to be a day sleeper), and we find things everyday why we love the place even more.

On moving day Sandro’s parents decided that we have a moving truck and can get their new 63” TV from the store for them. By the time we got it to their place and to the floor it was to be on, we got their 52” TV for our new place!

Here’s Sandro on move-in day…we still have a few things on the shopping list…

Our bath tub, which I can actually fit in!

We have pretty high ceilings, so here’s something short to give you an idea how high they are.

Our fireplace.

Closet.

Kitty found an issue…the ledges are skinny…

It’s getting to freezing temperatures around here at night now, which means turtleneck time!

Busy lately…Sandro and I are moving into our own place at the end of the month! That’s about the most exciting piece of news I have at the time. We’re moving into a nice 2BR, 2BA on December 1st that’s not too far away from where I live now. It’s within a few blocks from both his work and school, and now that I have a take-home patrol car it won’t make much difference in gas price for me.

Speaking of my take-home patrol car, it’s so nice to be able to go straight from your driveway to the area you work in without always having to go to one place first. It’s also nice knowing that when you start your shift you won’t be sharing a car with someone else when you’re off, which saves a lot of time and affords a lot of little things that make it worthwhile: I have my iPod mounted on the console which is a huge thing for me. Music makes work go by so much quicker.

I’ve got some plans for it, mainly kitting up the lights a bit more with grille lights and getting a TA for the back deck (which it why I left a few bays on the console open to accommodate the control pack).

Here is the model of light bar I currently have on my car.
