Moving up in the world

I'm moving house tomorrow!  Yes, after 1 year and 11 months in a little cubby in Brunswick that doesn't really have a loungeroom (more of a "waiting room" with doors at either end), I've finally got my act together and secured a house for myself and housemates in a much nicer suburb.  The house itself is much nicer as well.  If we set things up right, we'll have not one... but two living areas!  The loungeroom is quite tolerably large, although it has a lino floor for the time being.  The one thing I wish I had done yesterday... make the phone call to get the electricity connected!  It's going on sometime on Monday now... so that will make for an interesting weekend.

I was going to have a "house cooling" at the old place (ie. empty out all the furniture and get everyone to bring a folding camping chair).  My housemate Nathan said it was a terrible idea and it wouldn't catch on... so I was kind of determined to do it... but having seen this house today and how good the space is, I'd have to say I'm thinking about just having a housewarming in a few weeks like a normal person would.  Such a shame... the idea of trotting everyone in to the old place with their own seat amuses me greatly.  We'll see what happens.
