The Power to Move You

Spent my first official night chez stsquad. Upon reflection, I have concluded that yes, I can live in the box room. It may be small, but having packed my life into boxes I've realised that all I really need is a bed. I was disappointed at not being able to have my TV set up in my room, but it would probably have been a bit excessive. The wardrobe is filled with boiler, but it's blocked by the bed anyway, and all my hanging clothes are in Ilkley so it's not really an issue ... in fact I'm probably going to move all my clothes to Ilkley and take what I'll be wearing over to Manchester in a bag each weekend. It's that much more like living at home, but sacrifices have to be made. We'll have to see how bad the heat (from the boiler) gets.

I did exactly the same thing when I moved rooms at Mum's house. I was offered the spare room in the attic (for a number of reasons - my big sister was up there already, and I'd be able to redecorate to my taste, and we were planning to convert the third room into a "rec room" type thing, though this never happened), and jumped at the chance. Then my little sister talked about moving into my room, and made all sorts of plans about what she would do with it - it's a massive room, so she was going to get a sofa in and have parties and sleepovers and stuff (which she did). Naturally I changed my mind and wanted to stay. Then I changed my mind again, when sis started talking about how cozy it would be upstairs. I am amazed my family put up with me for so long. The problem is I'm basically convinced that whatever I have can't be as good as what somebody else has ... inferiority or envy, you decide.

Wireless Comms

I need to wireless-enable my PC. Point 1 is, stsquad, am I looking for "Wireless Networking" or "Bluetooth"? Point 2, mrssshhh, is CCL where you work? I'm remembering your warnings about hunting me down for murder should I use eBuyer, so I don't want to inadvertently offend you by shopping from the wrong place.

Random:

Whether you agree with Bush's reasons for invading Iraq or not (or can even work out exactly what they were), the simple fact remains that Hussein was definitely a bit of a cunt. I'm interested that the world's media seem to be on first-name terms with him, but I suppose WW2 coverage - at the time - was all talking about "Adolf". It's probably a societal thing, about how much respect is accorded to somebody. Surname (Blair) is more than first name (Tony), and nicknames (Dubya) indicate least of all. Or possibly most, depending on the context. Wierd.

Not doing the sex score meme, mostly because I couldn't make it give me a very good score, but also because, yeah, that other thing.

I can totally see that happening.
