This is Our Bold Hero, coming to you Galaxy News Radio–style from a makeshift setup in the attic of my new place. My wood floors are done, but I want to paint and hang up some curtains before I move to the main floor. So in the meantime I've been coming up here to use the internet and going down to the basement to sleep and watch t.v.

That basement room is kind of nice, actually. There's not much about it that's correct, but I like what they were trying to do with that loose carpeting and cracked wood paneling. Add in a minifridge, my Xbox 360, and my parents' hunting lodge loveseat and I may never see the sun again.

I'd say that it'll probably be three weeks before I can get really settled in. I lived here for almost two weeks without water until I finally bought a $1 pipe cap for downstairs and turned the water heater on, but the plumber will have plenty to do when he finally arrives tomorrow. You can hear water dripping from prettymuch anywhere in the house.

The awesome fridge is coming on Tuesday glory glory hallelujah, and I should be done painting everything I want to paint (i.e. most of the main floor) by sometime next weekend. My contractor assures me that the garage door will open soon.

There's still plenty to be done besides that, but I look forward to the point where I'm not longer spending all this money and I can just relax, even if everything isn't perfect. Working plumbing and cold beer will help with that.
