Geeks Live Here. It's Official.

Two boxes on the porch today! One was a housewarming present of a very aromatic candle from hbar98 -- thanks, dude! The second was my 12" Legolas. The house has a toy in it now -- it's officially ours. ;)

So for those who are interested, have some pictures!



Here we see the lovely and gracious lythandra standing in what will be my studio. In order to protect the floor, we laid down two 8x11 place rugs acquired from Lowe's. The rugs are actually a much nicer crimsoney color than this -- I took this picture with my Clié using the available light so the photos are not the greatest, alas.



This is my house elf.



Here we have the kitchen, looking through to the dining room. As you can see, it's not exactly large, but it does have a very handy (and currently empty) adjacent space which is theoretically some kind of "breakfast nook" (where I was standing when I took the picture) -- that will be made into "more kitchen" with the addition of a rolling island and probably eventually more cupboards and counter-tops. Right now it's just sorta under-utilized space.

lythandra says she wants to take more pictures during the move, and as she has a decent camera (as opposed to me using the one built into my PDA), I'm sure she'll do a better job. This was just a fun couple of snaps I thought you'd enjoy.

NOTE: Anybody local who has in mind to join in the moving party, we're starting the initial push tomorrow around noon. Please call to let me know you're coming, tho -- I don't like surprises when managing a big operation like this! :) Thanks!

Yay! I'm glad it got there in one piece!

Have you lit it yet? It sounds like a little fireplace!

Wow! Is that a lake/pond in the background? I'm envious!

congrats on the house...I still remember when I moved into my 1st.

BTW, I should get a guest comic finished for you tonight (provided it's slow at work)

Ooohhh...wood floors..I'm jealous.

Looks like a wonderful place...I look forward to more pics. Glad you finally have your own place.

So, how does it feel to be a homeowner?

Betcha it still doesn't feel real yet. Just wait for the sticker shock when you write that first mortgage payment, that is when it really hits you.

That's a really nice room for a studio, and some cool looking rugs. Any chance we'll get to see what it looks line once you have the big furniture in place?

House elf, you say? I'm struck with an urge to mail him a sock.

Wow. Even the kitchen has hardwood floors in the kitchen. *envies.*
