Tonight I did the laundry.
Cooked a nice dish.
Bought what I
hope
will be a good cupboard.
Got running water back again.
Yes, it certainly is a life chock full of adventure.
If I end up excessively lucky, I might have a visiting relative (hello sister!) to trick fool beg into helping me assemble the cupboard when it arrives.
When IKEA explicitly recommends at least two people to handle the flat packages, you obey. And shiver, ever so slightly.
Anyway, the cupboard is finally a new step in getting the apartment ever so slightly more cosy and "complete" (in quotes as I am deeply uncertain what that might mean). It has been a while since I took the previous step, and I did not want to suddenly wake up a few years on, the very same foot still in the air.
Might I get around to those annoying lamps next?
The past few days I have been reading a good deal of Mechner. Jordan Mechner, who you may or may not ever have heard of. He is the man behind Prince of Persia, which you may only know as a recent film but which I kind of hope you know as one of the more classic games of Olde. He has put journal entries online of about a seven year period during which he created Prince of Persia parts one and two, traveled a lot and a whole lot more.
I engulfed it like a great short story.
If you think you might like the tales of a young game and/or film maker traveling the world, just follow that external link over on the right.
Go on. That stuff is so much better than anything here, and this site is not going anywhere.
Myself, I am going into light media-blackout mode until I can watch Steve Jobs' WWDC keynote myself sometime in the morning.
