So close to being done with the move, but still not quite there. Done is the moving of 99% of our stuff, done is about 80% of the unpacking and reorganizing, still to go is moving that last 1%, and taking a van-load of stuff to the Goodwill, and also taking a van-load of couch to my sister-in-law's place in Shelbyville. Shelbyville, home of the world's oldest living person by the way. In case your hunger for Shelbyville facts needs sating.
Also you should go see this immediately. If not for larabarFan256, I might never have beheld its splendor. Can we trade workplaces Andrew? The snack robot here is full of items whose labels say things like 'phenylketonurics: contains phenylanine' and contain hardly any cord blood.
So many many changes! I can't believe that Randal and Suzanne and us at the State Fair was the last post, since then we have TOTALLY been to the Fair again and TOTALLY saw a car go up in flames at the Demolition Derby. And also, before that visit I had never eaten a corn dog. And now? I have eaten a corn dog! The relentless march of corn continues.
Other interesting progress. I have taken a moment to upgrade the site to Movable Type 4. To you, the every day reader, this means not very much, the site looks the same as before (except now no blogroll, because that plugin hasn't been updated for 4 yet). Frankly, to me it means not very much either, I don't use any advanced MT features so it's really not much more than a re-skinning of the 3.x UI. But who knows, maybe in 3 weeks I will need to use static pages, or have a podcast, and then I will be pleased that my three-weeks-ago self had the foresight to upgrade. PS in 3 weeks I launch my 'mouthy sound effects I make when pretending to bonk the cat on the head with a vertically oriented fist' podcast. It will mostly be about video games.
