So I moved in finally. Not completely, of course, but enough that I am now living at my new apartment full time. I've got the Internet and a bed. I need no more.
Actually setting up the Internet was relatively easy. I got a random telemarketer calling from AT&T asking if I wanted to get DSL. I did. I was actually trying to apply online, but since the phone line wasn't in my name, it was difficult. On the phone, though, they took my word as the decision maker for the house, which was nice. I'd set up DSL at home, and now this time I'd sprung for the wireless router package (rather, my grandfather did, so thank him very much), which made setting up a network that much easier. The HARD part was reformatting my computers. They both are reformatted now, and working fairly well. Once I get my computer desk moved in to my upstairs study, I'll probably leave my laptop on up there 24 7 as basically a network server for all my files. I hope I can do that, anyway... I haven't gotten it to work yet.
Reformatting my computer allowed me to finally get a working Zune Pass. I wasted the 2 week pass that came with my Zune earlier by trying it at home, then discovering that it wouldn't connect to the marketplace for whatever reason. Anyway, I did that now, but I've discovered that I've got some pretty eccentric tastes in music. Feel free to replace "eccentric" with your own adjective phrase of choice, such as "bad" or "like a 12 year old girl." *Hums Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" to himself...* But anyway, I've got 30 gigs of Zune to fill up over here. I've been peeking at the stuff microsoft recommends, but it's been pretty lackluster so far. My "all you can eat" Zune Pass didn't include anything by Evanescence, or Ace of Bass, or any of a dozen soundtracks... Huzzah music piracy!
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Before the week is out, though, I'd like to post something about the new Transformers Movie, and other media involving transforming robots from Cybertron, as well as the only two customers (excuse me, "guests") I've had at Target that I wish I'd never met. Interesting stories, I'm sure.
