The Day We've All Been Waiting For

Ok I must admit that I'm rather excited today. If you are a movie fan at all then you are probably aware that Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith opened today. I've been a big fan of the Star Wars movies all my life so this is the culmination of that effort. I guess I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan out there since I don't choose to dress up like a Wookie or act out the scenes with all my friends, but I still derive a great amount of pleasure from watching the films. Hopefully this movie will far surpass the previous two which just couldn't quite match up to the original trilogy. I guess I will be finding out at 5 PM today. It sure is going to be hard staying focused at work though, that's for sure.

Welcome to The Village

Well, I'm all moved in and loving my new place. It's nice being a homeowner. Apparently though, the city of The Village decided as a housewarming gift to turn off my water. I must say I'm very excited about this. Especially since I just got through playing basketball. They are very thoughtful. Especially since I got the notice to call City Hall to establish my utilities on Friday late afternoon and I called at noon today. Since they aren't open on the weekends and close at 5 they sure give you lots of time to get things set up. I hope this happens every week since it really makes me leap for joy. THANK YOU VILLAGE CITY EMPLOYEES!!! At least 24 is coming on in 8 minutes....

UPDATE: Ok, I owe a sincere apology to The Village. It was actually OKC who cut off my water. So please direct all ill will toward them. I really love The Village and would not want to do anything to hamper our relationship. In fact, if The Village were a girl I would marry her.

Ameliorating My Living Environment

Wow. Lord willing tomorrow at this time I will knows as a true American homeowner. I've had many people ask me if I'm excited and they seem puzzled by my response of "I'm just ready to get it over." It's not that I'm not grateful and I'm not looking forward to owning my own home, but I just don't think 'excited' is the right word. It must be my frugal nature that sees all the dinero I'm putting down and realizes I've saved all these years and now, wham-o, I'm back to having little saved again. I hope that doesn't seem ungrateful, because believe me, I'm very grateful to God for blessing me in this. I guess it's just that part of me that draws a little security knowing I have enough money in savings to take care of myself in case of an emergency. Like I could ever have enough! Anyway, I digress. So I will be a homeowner. It will be very nice to be living in my own abode after being a nomad for two weeks. Nomadic life is nice in some ways because it causes me to change up that thing that I really hate but have succumbed to because a decent life demands it: routine. So I welcome the brief moments of flexibility to my normal schedule in order to keep things fresh and new-like the pants I wear to work for instance. I really wish I'd been wise enough to pack and extra pair before I stored all my stuff as this pair is very stale. Ok my diatribe is coming to an end. I'm not even really sure why I felt a need to post today. I was just in the mood, I suppose. I'm going to live dangerously and not even proofread it either!! I'm so daring....
