I’ve got seven days left in Virilion’s DC office and sixteen days left on the East Coast. I’m equally excited and terrified.
My excitement comes from living in a new home so far away from here, working from home full time, and becoming landlords. My terror comes from living in a new home so far away from here, working from home full time, and becoming landlords.
Actually, Nadia will be the landlady. I’ll still be a mooch.
This whole move and everything related to it is insanely expensive. When all is said and done, we will have spent just under $10,000. Luckily the Army is paying for moving the furniture, we’ve got some tax money to fall back on, and some part of that will be reimbursed (hopefully). I’ve been getting a few questions about the move, so I thought I would list my answers here:

I’ve been a Gamefly subscriber for the past few months, and it has saved me a ton of money. Games that I normally would have bought new at full price, play for a few days and then totally give up on now go back to Gamefly instead of collecting dust in my collection.
Today Amazon delivered two games that I knew that I had to have and not simply rent: GTA IV Special Edition and Mario Kart Wii (an extra Wii Wheel).

Check out my latest tattoo.
It means ‘Hope’ which is also what Nadia means. This brings my total to 6 (5 on my back, with one not shown in this picture, and 1 on my leg).
Edit (by Will): I wrote a long post back in May ‘05 about Nad’s neck tattoo, which I also have.
The one on her shoulder says “yume” (dream). Those are a pair of butterflies on her shoulder blades. Running down her back, starting in the middle, she’s got a Chinese dragon that stretches to her tailbone. She’s got an elaborate one on her leg with the names of family members that have passed away in recent years.
