Things arachnophobic people don't need to see in life: giant video of a spider on the YouTube main page. Augh.

A happy Mabon and beginning of Libra Season to y'all! I do so love this time of year, and not because of Impending Birthday (which, by the way, I need to figure out). Just the weather and the light and the everything fits nicely ( Read more... )

I can't believe I didn't actually make a move-in post yet! GOODNESS ME.

So on Saturday we packed up all the stuff in boxes and bins and whatnot, loaded them into the Uhaul, and drove it over to mafia_bartender's place, where the process was repeated.
