bunnyloveHappy 31st Birthday, Jensen. Stay sexy.
It's official. Mum and I are moving. Our land lord came by last night and ran some options by us. If we really wanted to stay the rent would be $200 higher and then there wouldn't be a guarantee that we would stay here if our land lord didn't get this place re-mortgaged. The place isn't really worth $200 more, because nothing is included and from poking around the ads and on craigs ist we could find a place with almost the same asking price and have everything or most of everything included. It feels like it's time to move on, we could may be get something a bit bigger or something more modern. My room is like a closet, my bed fits in and then I have about three feet of room between the foot and left side of my bed to move around in. My closet is barely three feet wide and I just have clothes piled everywhere because I can't fit it all in there. I have boxes and boxes of books, because there are no shelves to put them on. I want somewhere I can put some of my Sideshow LOTR statues on display, my fairies and books. I'm not asking for huge, but just bigger. Mum's room isn't much better, even though her closet is about twice as big as mine.
Moving sucks, but at the same time our landlord is giving us until the end of May, which is really nice. It will give us time to go through everything and just throw stuff out or give it away. A lot of stuff I don't see or need anymore, so it's going to SPCA thrift store or the Salvation Army. Legally my landlord could say out by the end of April, but he's giving us an extra month or he also said that we could stay until the end of July, but we'd have to start paying the new higher rent. This option saves us a little money and hopefully we'll be able to afford an actual moving company.
Honestly I won't miss this place a whole lot, but I will miss the backyard and the animals. My heart literally hurts to leave them, but I know that we cannot stay here forever. Other than that? Yeah, bye, bye.
I was able to watch the latest BSG last night
Now I haven't read any other theories, spoilers or discussions about this, but I think that Starbuck may be half Cylon. I'm certain that that piano player was her father and the reason she knows the song is that I think her father is/was model 7. I remember Ellen saying that the 7's were very artistic/talented. Maybe he was a sleeper agent? Who knows. Like I said I haven't read anything to support this theory or know any spoilers, so yeah, just my take. It may explain some of the things that happened to her or what happened on Earth.
Holy shit, Helo and Athena. That is just so fucked up and sad. Although Helo taking his shirt off was just, so, so nice.
All I know is that there are three episodes left and I don't want it to end. I honestly cannot see it wrapping up in three episodes. There's just... I dunno, so much. I know the finale will be longer.
Yesterday I took the bus down to the mall to visit mum at her new job. I think it was a nice surprise for her, it's been a rough week. Starting a new job and then finding out your landlord wants you out/raising the rent is pretty stressful. I think she's doing alright. She's just still super paranoid that something will happen, but I tell her not to worry about it.
I was able to find a sweet deal at HMV, they usually have their mix and match DVD deals, like two for $20 or whatever. I had a gift card from Christmas and I was able to score Repo! The Genetic Opera and Boondock Saints on Blu-ray for $40!!! I only had to pay $10 out of my pocket. Nice. :D

I know. I can't imagine how they're going to bring it altogether in so short a time, but I've heard they do and quite brilliantly.

Date: 2009-03-04 04:55 am (UTC)Well, the show always manages to blow me away in one way or the other, so I probably shouldn't be too worried.

Date: 2009-03-04 05:41 am (UTC)Yeah, I'm sure they're it's going to be great, also. But it's funny, when we started to get down to seven episodes I just kept thinking, "how are they going to wrap this all up in so short a time?" because it still feels like it could go on for years. It doesn't feel like it's coming to a close at all. which is just weird. or is that just me?
