As part of getting moved over to my new house I’ve been talking with Comcast to get them to set up my cable internet and tv.  Unfortunately they can’t find my address so it is going to be a few days.  Fortunately I was able to set up my cell phone as a bluetooth modem tonight so I will have at least fast enough access for email, blogging, and limited surfing.  Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do for getting internet to the Xbox.  If I put my modem/router in my bedroom then I will have to either buy a 100′ ethernet cable or a $100 wireless adapter for the Xbox.  The other option is to put the modem/router next to the Xbox and then use my old 802.11b adapter on my computer for now.  I’ll have to think about that.  It would be a waste of a big fat pipe to throttle everything through a wireless-b adapter to my computer just so I can plan Halo 3 and get killed by some 12 year old.

So getting my phone to work as a modem was the small victory I accomplished.  The epiphany I had is that I can no longer move by myself.  I have way too much stuff to move with just myself as the man power.  Even having Danny help me move the bigger stuff, it seems like a never ending task to get moved over.  When I move back to Seattle, I definitely am not going to be moving all of my stuff.  I would have a yard sale to get rid of things before I make that kind of a move or I would have professional movers come before I would try to do the whole thing by myself.  I wouldn’t say I wasted today because I did get a good amount of stuff moved but I still have a desk, dresser, kitchen counter, two chairs, a coat rack, a cloths rack, a steamer trunk, a computer and large monitor, and a whole bunch of random other boxes of “stuff” to move before I’m finished.  I was hoping to be finished with the move this weekend but I think it will be Monday night now before I can finish.  I know that there are now people waiting to move into my unit but I would have to kill myself to be completely moved out by tomorrow night before church.  Some stuff I do need to throw away but a good chunk of stuff I just have accumulated over the course of time.  And there is stuff I would still like to get, like an actual bed frame (which I started looking for on eBay).  Anyway, I’m feeling pretty tired and I still have some organizing and cleaning to do before I do more moving tomorrow.  I don’t know how I would ever move a whole house full of stuff.  Yikes.  Being an adult isn’t so much fun right now.
