- First CDs: Miles Davis "Kind of Blue", Pete Yorn "Back & Fourth", and Broken Bells "Broken Bells", all played on 'Black Manta', not my full stereo.
- First Books: Harry Turtledove's "Werenight" and George R. R. Martin's (editor) "Wild Cards 14: Marked Cards".
- First TV Show: "Two and a Half Men" (no cable to date).
- First Meal: Dunkin Donuts - A large regular coffee and a sausage, egg & cheese on a plain bagel (no stove or fridge on Monday night, still no stove to date).
- First Coffee: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters 'Nantucket Blend'.
This is the first time I've moved into a place that still needed heavy renovation (it is a work in progress, and if I'd waited another month, I'd have moved into the finished product, but it'd have cost me another month's rent at $750, which I didn't care to pay). The bedroom is basically completed, but because floors still need to be installed in the kitchen and living room, all of my belongings are crammed in with me on three sides of the bed! Also, none of the living room windows are done being painted, so I have no blinds/shades/curtains, which after dark basically leaves me on display in a big glass cage. I've thumbtacked curtains over a few strategic windows, which helps, but I am looking forward to the work getting done soon. Both floors should be in place by the end of the weekend too, but the stove and washer/dryer hookups won't be done until Monday earliest, so I am still living a half-life... At least my aunt/landlord has lended me her spare laptop until she gets me a wifi card (or whatever) for my computer. Thanks Jean Marie!
I kinda feel like I am roughing it, with my cat standing in for the usual island crew, but without a campfire, fresh seafood or beer...
