My house has been painted. Huzzah! :) Now time to replace the blinds and buy a ton of light bulbs because most of the light fixtures are missing them. Then this week I'll call to get the carpet cleaned so I can move my furniture in.

The burns on my neck have faded a bit, but it still hurts and it's starting to itch really badly.

I'm waiting around for people to call, so I can't go anywhere right now because Dad's out. My aunt is supposed to help me file for my home buyer's credit and Dad's friend is supposed to be coming over this afternoon to fix the doors on the house and finish the dry wall in the garage.

I think I'm going to use this time to get my poster frames cleaned up so that I can put my posters in them. So far what's going on the wall in my bedroom is: the Watchmen banner, my Watchmen international poster, my Men in Black poster, a Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl poster, and my Dark Shadows framed print if the damn thing isn't too heavy to hang. I'm kind of scared to hang it.

Yeah, I got sunburned. Only a little on my arms, but badly right below my neck and on my shoulders right near my neck. My face is also sunburned, but not as badly as last year. I'm putting Aveeno lotion on it constantly.

My house is being painted today. Don't know if they'll finish because it also has to be primed, but that's awesome that it's going to be done by the beginning of this coming week. Earlier than I expected it to be.

I work a long shift today, but it's holiday pay so whatever... Good money will be gotten out of it when my next paycheck arrives.

I'm getting ready to leave to meet my friends.... I'll be outside all day, so hopefully I won't become crispy fried Kay at the end of of it.

Robin Hood is done....

I would grieve, but ( season 3 spoilers... )

New job training is going good...

So far with my house I've: cleaned out my garage (and got rid of several spiders in the process), counted up light switch and plug plate covers ('cause some were painted on), counted up missing curtain rods, hung up my shower curtains, and bought the paint for the walls. The color of the paint is called Wild Honey and it's awesome. It's Behr paint. I've decided not to replace the carpet and to have it cleaned instead for two reasons: 01) the carpet isn't that old and doesn't look bad and 02) it will save me money to put towards other things. A friend of Dad's is coming tomorrow while I'll be out with my friends to see about fixing two doors in the house and the shed doors. My tentative plan is to be living there by July 21st-ish.

I've just read that the Ultimate Watchmen edition is coming out in December. Don't know whether it's true or not. I've pre-ordered the Director's Cut at Best Buy and will end up with the Rorschach case they're offering.

I've seen three "summer movies" - Star Trek, Angels and Demons, and Up. Trek was the only one of the three I truly liked.

Angels and Demons just wasn't my kind of film, and Up rubbed me the wrong way. It might be a film I could possibly enjoy at a later time, but I just didn't care for it very much and thought it was very in your face with its messages. And a bit stupid with its humor.

Trek I adored, but I only actually got to see it once, which is surprising because usually when I like a movie as much as I did Trek, I see it at least twice. But lack of time I'm sure has a lot to do with it. Now by the time I get some free moments to see a movie it will almost certainly be Public Enemies or Harry Potter (which I'm not really looking forward to because of the changes I heard about).

The only movie I've seen more than once this year is Watchmen (obviously:)).

House closing day.....

I found a set of yellow sheets that will match my banner perfectly and look awesome with a black bedspread. I'm thinking of adding a dark purple throw pillow or two on the bed, to pick up the purple in the banner.

I don't train at the other location for my new position until next week, and I'm glad. There's so much going on this week and it's kind of a long drive.

Today I only work until 4:30, but then I'm going on a trip tonight to find out where I have to train for my new position. I'll be going there probably two days this week and I have no idea where it is. My friend's parents are showing me.

Tomorrow I close on the house and immediately have to go to work afterward. It will be a short work day, though, since I don't close on the house until 3:30 in the afternoon and by the time I get to work, I may have a four hour shift.

Wednesday and Thursday I work in the morning, and after I get home I have to get the house cleaned. I'm going to try to do it all Wednesday, but I may end up working on it Thursday, too. Friday I'm going to be at the amusement park all day. We're meeting people at 9:00am. We'll probably stay until at least 6:30-ish. On July 4th, I work 8 hours, but the bonus is it's time and a half.

Today is pre-order Watchmen day!

I really need to buy pants for work. I have only two pair that don't have holes in them - and one pair doesn't fit properly and were just an emergency buy (the female emergency kind - ugh). So instead, you know, at the mall I bought Silk Spectre-ish dresses. Oops. Hopefully I can find cheap pants on sale here within the next day or two. I might see what Target has in tonight after work.

My friend invited me to go see Public Enemies with her this coming week, but I doubt I'll get the chance because I have to clean out my garage, and clean the windows and floor once I get the house keys. I have two free days in which to do that - Wednesday and Thursday... possibly Tuesday depending on my work schedule. I hope I can still go to the amusement park on Friday with my friends, but my schedule is changing because I start my new position... I'll find out tonight.

I start my new position at work next week and my pay goes up accordingly. I also close on my house on Tuesday afternoon. Just great. I'm going to be so overwhelmed by everything. I'm really very excited about the house, but that excitement is sort of ruined by Dad struggling to sell ours. We'll have to maintain two of them at the rate things are going and that's not going to be easy on either of us, and he's been consistently angry about everything lately because we haven't had many people looking. I'm scared it won't sell.

Obligatory Watchmen mention - I'm actually going to pre-order the damn dvd. I never pre-order movies because I just don't see much point in ever doing it, but places are offering cool stuff if you pre-order and I can't resist adding to the Watchmen collection.

I have a migraine so I'm not long for this world tonight.
