Our landlords stopped by a couple nights ago to say they wouldn’t be renewing our lease, as one of them wants to move back into the house. We were kind of expecting/planning to move anyway, but now we’re definitely moving. The nice thing is if we find a place before our lease is up they’re not going to hold us to it. It’s at times like this I wish I was a minimalist. :p It’s at times like this I also think I need to learn to buy my music…
A couple weeks ago I posted about the musical my sister is developing.

We had a very busy and lovely weekend in these parts. Friday was my sister’s work-in-progress performance of the musical she’s writing.

I am slowly getting there, in terms of amalgamating mizkit.com and cemurphy.net.

Nothing is nearly as organized as I’d like, but the basics are in place, which is to say the links should all work with the redirect. I need to go through and fix images, and in the slightly longer run I have hopes of making the CEMurphy.Net pages look different from the mizkit pages (because my delightful web designer lady has…
I can’t be the only person who thinks the trailers for “This is 40” makes me think poking myself in the eye with a sharp needle would be more fun than watching it, can I? Because to me it looks like “This is the most exhausting frustrating tiring annoying parts of your life, played by people a lot thinner, prettier*, and richer than you are, just to make you feel like *extra* shit.” Or maybe I’m just not the target demographic.
