the computer is going down and i'm signing off - my life in kenya will be now be published from the villita, purple in color, and furry critters on the stairs. hopefully i'll be able to get some photos up soon - (my camera is subsequently mia) - and the internet connection may be touch and go 'til i get things a-runnin'

until later.

and the belt comes off...

I HAVE THE KEYS! And while I was there, my neighbors came over with a bottle of wine and invited me to a party they are having on May 5th! How cool is that! Everyone I have met in the neighborhood is so nice and my age and chatty and YEAYEEE!!!!!!!!!!

the key

i will have it in my hands within the hour...

the chastity belt...

the villita has one on - and i eagerly await the keys. i though today i may have heard something -- maybe tomorrow. the units are beaming down tomorrow evening and i need to slam the remaining stray bits of my belongings into a box. i ordered pizza tonight. i think henry is really starting to figure that something strange is going down. and my mini is back in my hands -- after some little critter ate the hell out of my wires... oh those silly little critters...

April 24th

"congratulations. you're a new home owner." at that, our heroin's eyes rolled in her head and after a couple minutes she started grinning - as if a boy had said something sweet. with the stupid grin plastered on her face, she left. holy shit. the villita - with running internal spring and has been sprayed with anti-bear spray - is now hers. the surreal feeling completely engulfed her senses. completely. Henry-dog, Benji-cat... WE'RE MOVING!

oh dear is right...

and so, out heroine's car is busted -- two days before closing and her car has continuously died - without a push and a pop of the clutch... she is DOMED! The monsters will eat her - the bears will claw at her door --- and even though she drove around for at least 1/2 hour it still DIED!!! AHHH AND I NEED TO WRITE A CASHIERS CHECK TOMORROW BEFORE THE DAMN BANK CLOSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

the clean up begins

so i have begun cleaning up NCD. The units came down this weekend to help start the process -- what's the saying "once in motion stays in motion..." well, since their visit, i have managed to make even more of a mess in my living space than i thought was humanly possible. but in my "cleaning" i found all sorts of treasures that i just cannot deep 6 - faxes sent from belize, notes taken from tortuous classes - well - i did though those away, as well as... papers from nick and laura in isaac's aztec class -- a pile of mayan glyphs that apparently i felt compelled to copy - i guess thinking that at some point i will "crack the code"... badges from SAA meetings, a poloroid of me on a motorcycle taken at the Denver SAA's... photos from UBARP... the list continues. I have a giant garbage bag in the kitchen that i have next to filled -- thank god tomorrow is garbage day. i need another beer and maybe an egg. getting hungry - well, anything to procrastinate. no, i will be good and pack away - bring things to my basement hole (well until it gets dark out - b/c there are never any lights in the basement and they refuse to replace them...)

daylight's burning...

villita

i had my villita inspection -- termites, pealing paint, old water heater... all in all -- i'm thinking it's not to bad - it is 121 years old... i love my villita. i love the colors, i love the kitchen, i love the nasty henry back yard -- which i am going to make into a pretty, smelly, garden. i'm excited. i think me and the fuzzy little guys will like it very much.
