I took it upon myself to actually start getting the office organized, because it has been a disaster zone for 2 weeks now, and Lance has only done enough to get our desks and computers set up for internet. Boxes were still strewn everywhere...cords, cables, CDs...and we had all these empty bookshelves. Plus, I had to find a box of my own books (they were buried in the back of the office underneath a crap ton of Lance's stuff).

Really, both our desks are too big for this room. Lance bought a new desk a couple weeks ago and gave me his old one. But the room is small and he has to squeeze through a tiny space to get past me if he goes in and out. All the boxes stacked up around my desk didn't help matters any.

So anyway, two of these boxes are now eliminated...I unpacked them and put the stuff on the shelves. If Lance doesn't like how I organized it, he can reorganize it later. But I just wanted to get it out of the boxes and onto the shelves so that we can start seeing some of our carpet again. I managed to clear out enough space to put down the chair mat, so now it's easier for me to roll out of Lance's way when he needs to get through.

Anyway, I found a very ancient film camera. Oh my God. Where did this thing come from? Why do we still have it? The batteries in it expired in 2003...I'm actually surprised that they didn't explode or leak everywhere.

I can't get the film compartment open, but I'm betting there's no film in there.

Holy crap, this is hilarious. Maybe I'll save it as a toy for Eva. The sad thing is, I don't even know if this camera belonged to Lance or to me. It was in a case that looked like one I once had, but I don't really remember owning a camera like this. I'm guessing it's Lance's, before he switched to digital. But even his digital camera is a good 7-8 years old.

ETA: OMG...THERE IS FILM IN IT! HAHAHA!

Car Names

Now that the infamous Gertrud (AKA: "Gertie," "Ghetto Gertie" and the "Crap Mobile") has a successor, I also need to give it a name.

Any suggestions?

First of all, it's a Mazda, so it's a Japanese car (I gave the Volvo a Swedish name because it was a Swedish car).

It's sparkly turquoise in color.

So the name can be based off either of those two things, I suppose.

Other things (not relevant, but fun):
- Bose stereo system
- moon roof
- heated leather seats

But the thing I am most excited about...you'll laugh...

CUP HOLDERS!! The Volvo didn't have any.

Anyway, I am at a loss for names, as I never used to name my cars. Not until Ghetto Gertie came along. Lance named his truck (Sara, if you must know), so I figured, what the hell...

Hmmm...perhaps a Shakespearean character... that just came to mind. How does Phoebe grab you?

Two new writing jobs posted today...both of which I am qualified for.

I guess my web writing experience does come in handy, after all.
