Operation "Relocate" Has Commenced

Man, when the old moving ball gets rolling, it moves fast. I gave notice at my current apartment, so...one way or another, I'm moving at the end of this month.

I found what seems to be the ideal apartment. It has: brand new construction (2011), it's large (980 square feet), has cheap rent with my roommates (cheaper than current place), a deposit option to allow a cat, it's upstairs, on an end so I only have one neighbor to worry about noise-wise, AND centrally-located in the town I want to live in, and best of all it's available right now and nobody else's application is pending for it.

I put my application in for the place first thing this morning. Within a few days I'll hear back whether I can rent there, and then with any luck things will get REALLY interesting with a flurry of cleaning and packing and moving things around. Oh, joy.

Operation "Acquire Income" Underway

I've only ever worked contracted jobs, so going job hunting is a new experience for me. I got an interview within 2-3 weeks of sending out my first resumes and applications, so I guess that's good. I just tossed three or four more applications out into the work-seeking crowd today, so my fingers are crossed that one of them wants to interview me, too. One of them is PETCO. It would be awesome to work at a pet-related store.

DAZ Software Suite Still Free Through April!

DAZ3D is offering a suite of DAZ Studio 4 Pro, Bryce 7 Pro and Hexagon 2.5 for free through April. It's completely free (with free site registration), with serial codes for each product, yours to keep forever. These three pieces of software equal $800+ at their usual prices, so snatch 'em up if you want to play with 3D art or 3D modeling. Go here if you want to check it out: [link]

Weeding Some Stuff Out

In preparation for moving, and because I really have too much stuff to begin with, I'm selling some items on Amazon and eBay. It's mostly anime DVDs with a few books, such as one about learning Japanese swordplay. Check them out if you're want:

Ebay: [link]

Amazon: I'm not sure how to link my Amazon items all together, so here are my few listings there individually. Just look under "Used". Maison Ikkoku, Loveless DVD 1 (Lost and Found), Exploring Publication Design.

By the Way, If You Ever Sell Online...

...Get a tracking number when you ship the item. Today I had somebody claim the book I shipped three weeks ago never showed up, and I didn't have a tracking number to prove them wrong. So I had to refund them $74. Yeah.

My sister ~Couy-Chan says she's had people pull this on her numerous times, and when she shows them her tracking numbers (which tell anybody who types the number in if the package was delivered), they promptly shut up and never speak to her again. I'm doing that from now on. :sigh:

Mists of Pandaria and Diablo III Betas

Yep, I got both. After giving both of these games a try, I can safely say the following:

Mists of Pandaria is going to be gorgeous. I wasn't sure I'd like the pandas, but they turned out really personable!

With Diablo III, Blizz has done the series proud. It plays almost exactly like Diablo II, but with updated graphics, new classes, the option to be male or female with each class, and of course new story and all that. I particularly like the individual loot tables for groups--no squabbling over loot, if it dropped and you can see it, it's yours.

More on the betas later; I'll probably post up some screenshots and stuff.

On a Mario Kick

Lately I've been on a real Super Mario phase. XD; I blame ~Couy-Chan for getting me into playing Mario Party 8 and buying the Wii port of Super Mario 64. Ah, well, at least it gives me ideas for silly chibified artwork.

Off I Go, Then

Time to chop up onions for dinner. Hope everybody's doing well out there in DA-land!
