on hackers and fauxfas

Did you hear the one about the hackers? A bunch of spammy hackers took down a bunch of wordpress sites and now innocent bloggers are being forced to use crappy blogging platforms. I have no punchline, just that sad tale. Jparks migrated me over to blogger and dear god, the suck is strong with it. He told me he was doing it on the morning of our anniversary and I instantly declared it the worst anniversary gift ever and tried to talk him out of it by mentioning how migrating to blogger negates anniversary sex. Apparently that was a risk he was willing to take and I'm trying not to take it as a critique on my bedroom prowess.

The short of it is that now that I reside here all previous feeds and links you've had to me won't work. There's good and bad to this situation. On one hand it's like I'm a new blog! Yay, no pressure to maintain any level of quality writing because no one is reading! On the other hand, who will validate my existence with comments? Why doesn't anyone like me? So please don't make me have any flashbacks of sixth grade when I was the social outcast, update your feeds and links soon.

And since I know you're all assuming that surely, after a month in our new apartment we must be unpacked and settled in, let me offer you this picture of our living room:

What's up with the wall of chairs? Well, we couldn't decide if our dream sofa was going to fit so jparks made a paper sofa using the dream sofa's measurements. Then he decided that he needed to see the sofa in 3d so we gathered all the chairs that weren't in use and created a fauxfa. This is what happens when you don't hire interior decorators. The real sofa should be in here in 10 days, thank god. Also, our new media unit (when did we stop calling them entertainment centers?) is arriving tomorrow and after that we just have to buy a rug, coffeetable, and chair. Oh, is that all? That should only take us another six months or so.

  5. I did not paint the wall. All the apartments in this building came with one accent wall and they surprisingly picked good colors.

  7. Um, did I mention my aunt is an interior designer and lives a couple of miles from you? Not that your fauxfa isn't lovely!

  8. All things considered, I think you're doing a pretty fantastic job. And, eventually ye olde wall of chairs will be a super fantastic couch!
