I know way long since last update, not that I’ve had lack of things to talk about, just a lack of notable items. First comment I guess, buying a house is damn expensive. There’s lots of little bills I have to take care of, a new king bed to buy, a washer and dryer eesh….

W00t I just signed the paperwork and my final offer was accepted on my condo so assuming inspections pass and financing goes ok I’ll be moving in June 6th. Follow this link if you wanna see some pictures New Condo (This link may be dead soon, now that I bought the place but I’ll add…

I was playing Civilization last night as the Americans. In my little world they put the Arabians right next to my area.
