Big Days Ahead
With several big days in my very recent past, there are a bunch more big ones looming still. Lots of uncertainty, lots of doubt, lots of our lives being decided by people who don't know us and have no stake in our success or failure. Its a bit maddening to pace the floor wondering what will happen and knowing that the people making the decision have no vested interest in it and it could be something as arbitrary as flipping a coin.

But my fingers are still cross nonetheless and with some luck we'll be unloading the moving van directly into the new apartment. And nothing like only having to move stuff once! But we've got to secure the place first or keep looking, and though it would be a seriously crowded drag, it wouldn't be all that awful to share my place for another month. We'd save a ton of money which would be good but, on the other hand, I'm ready to break things off with the old house. I'm ready to settle down and create a home with Paula, I'm ready for our own space where there are no housemate's alarms going off (yes, AGAIN this morning), or coming home to a living room full of drunk strangers. And all of the other myriad joys that come from sharing a house with other people. I'm very much looking forward to all of it and more.

Other Blog Update News
I'm very close to creating a subscription set up to Intellectual Poison, no, not charging money, I know nothing I write here is worth charging for. Nope, an email subscription list that allows me to sign people up to send out copies of posts as they go live to the web. I should have something worked out in the next week or so, give or take. Not that I think there will be any huge number of people that want to get Intellectual Poison in their in-boxes but hey, its kind of cool to do anyway. Shame I lose the site visits but I think I need to turn down my freakish fascination with click throughs. No point in caring about people who's sole interest here is to find cheat codes, Joe Millionaire dirt or nasty pics of Yasmine Bleeth. Is there a support group for this?

Also, just added Intellectual Poison Reviews which is meager now but will eventually become my repository for all things I've reviewed, heckled or whatever. Not limited to movies, books and music, I will review damned near anything, as some of you already well know. But it should be a fun place to keep them. Might have to shorten some of them though or that page will take forever to load and its just text.
