My grandparents have just left after spending the past three days of Memorial Day weekend with me, and my Internet is down for the second time since Saturday, so now--10:07 PM--seems a good time to craft a blog entry. I am writing this longhand for eventual transcription onto my blog.
As I announced earlier this month, I have gotten a full-time job at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C., as a Web Technologies Associate. Because I'll be living in D.C. for the predictable future, my grandparents came out to help me finally decorate my apartment. Before, since I didn't know even the city in which I would eventually live, I had in my apartment a card table, four folding chairs, two small rolling cabinets, a trunk, a bed that turns into a couch, a desk without drawers, and my computer. If I wanted to watch TV or DVD, I did so on my computer. (I have a 20.1" 1600 x 1200 Samsung 204B monitor, so the experience wasn't as bad as it might seem.)
With Memorial Day weekend nearing its conclusion, I have two bookcases, one for DVD's and the other for books; two dressers, one for clothes and another for office supplies; a stack of racks by my computer onto which I can place its equipment and media; an actual table with four chairs; and a credenza on which sits a 27" CRT flat tube Panasonic Tau television. Additionally, a mirror hangs on the closet door next to my bathroom so I can tie my tie before work without getting my socks wet on still-damp tile.
That's not all: I now can cook and bake with pots, pans, and trays. And I can use genuine dishes to serve meals instead of plastic utensils and paper plates.
At last, my apartment is starting to feel like a home instead of a place I'm visiting temporarily.

Personality Type
You are a Judge!(Dominant Introverted Concrete Thinker)
You are a JUDGE (DICT). Your affinity for facts and analytical approach to life help you solve complex problems and make tough decisions that others cannot. But don't think that you don't act irrationally a lot of the time. You jump into arguments and hold grudges like crazy. You could probably use some love. While some may see you as a bit overbearing and arrogant, your friends know that you are a trustworthy person with depth and a strong sense of righteousness. Although you are introverted and somewhat reserved, you have a forceful personality that your friends appreciate and your enemies fear. God help them. God help all of us.(From the Spark Personality Test.)
