In other news, I'm working about 60 hrs/week on this current job. It sucks that I don't have much spare time/energy by the time I get home (I haven't touched my cosplay for the last couple weeks), but the overtime will help me pay down my credit card bill which is good. I've just got to keep reminding myself of that.
Now that I've popped the question I'm finally able to move forward on some plans I'd had. Star is all abuzz with wedding planning but I'm more focused on living arrangements. My lease runs out at the end of the year and Star's ends in Jan or Feb so I've started looking for a place for the both of us. Her parents object to the idea of us living together, which I can't say surprises me. I had hoped that the ring would've quieted their objections, but no. I'm just glad that Star agrees with me on this matter; that's what really counts in my opinion. I'm really jazzed about the money we'll save by moving in together and the prospect of getting a second bedroom or, dare I say it, a GARAGE where I can go balls-to-the-wall crazy with my cosplay. Oh, that'd be so awesome. No more worrying about spilling glue on the carpet or setting off the fire alarm or contaminating the kitchen. It'll be my cosplay refuge. Don't worry, you guys are invited too. We both want to stay within Austin city limits but we'll probably move a little northwards to shorten Liz's commute. Aside from that, our options are wide open right now.
Aside from that biz-ness, the ACDF second "anniversary" is scheduled for this weekend. Considering the weak response this event has generated, the dinner might as well be a wake. I'm going because I want to give ACDF one more shot, but I'm not expecting much. So if any ex-ACDFers happen to be reading this, consider coming down to dinner Saturday night. If not for ACDF, then just for a chance to hang out and have fun.
Frankly, this scenario reminds me of a line from "The Difference Engine" (quite possibly THE definitive steampunk novel).
"The text indicates that the Meirokusha, suffering a grave decline in membership and a growing lack of attendance, have voted to indefinitely postpone future meetings."
