Current mood:

busy

I show up in in the daily statistics at work as Grimm, Cliffo
Therefore, at work I am known as Cliff'o the Grimm. I have weird coworkers.

Things are running as smoothly as can be expected in the world of Cliff'o the Grimm. I met again with the mortgage guy from Washington Trust, and liked what he had to say, and somebody is coming to appraise the house next week. If the house comes back at what we think it will, then we're all set. Either too high or too low, then I'm in trouble. Oh well. The hardest task in front of me right now is finding a renter. My first few choices turned me down for entirely understandable reasons. There are some offers on the table that haven't gotten back to me yet. Tim and Debbie are looking at a house later this month, and if they either a) like it a lot or b) are able to force a low price down the owner's throat, then they may go with that. If not, they say they'll probably rent from me. It hadn't occurred to me rent this room out to two people untill Tim suggested it. Even if they don't rent together, Deb said she'd consider it herself if they don't get the house. Tim and Deb are awesome, so it would be pretty cool having them as roommates.

I'm still accepting applications, so if anybody who actually reads this journal needs a room and are fairly reliable about payment, comment and I'll send you the cost sheet I have for the room.

Flew out to AC last Friday after work.
Got off the plane. Bused it to the hotel. I almost went to the wrong hotel by saying "Whyndam" instead of "Westin" That would have been very bad. Got there too late for registration, so I found my roomies and just hung out the rest of the night. There are a bunch of Smash Bros fanatics, so i ended up watching/playing that for a good chunk of the con. I got to see the guest of honor's Q&A session, which was cool. Rob Paulsen is a funny guy. I wanted to slap a few of the questionnaires, but it was mostly pretty cool.

I watched one of my roomies get really really drunk. His brother got real concerned and had to watch him for a while. He was running the Smash Tournament, so I gathered all his equipment, went down to the game room and announced his delay. After the setup, I went to playe RAGE with fenris_lorsrai and a large group of newcomers. I was forbidden from using the puppy deck. Game is so much fun. :p

I got next to nothing in the way of commissions, but I got a couple of pieces in the art show. I did a lot of aimless wandering, too. Not a particularly eventful or goal oriented con. Just hanging out.


I'm off to Connecticon and a Bachelor party tomorrow. Going down with barryr and then dashing off to Mohegan sun for the dinner/party bachelor thing being thrown by the groom's new father-in-law. Weird. His Wedding is next weekend.

Wow, I'm a busy guy! After this weekend's con and party, there's a wedding next weekend, I hope to close on my house by the end of the month, I may drive to FAU, and then I go on a week's vacation to Florida. Go me?

One last note. There's a Gundam game coming out in the style of the Dynasty Warriors games. If I can't play as Zechs Merquise and use the Tallgeese, then I'm gonna be pissed. They even got Brian Drummond to reprise his roll. Sweet!
