Well, the printer arrived. It isn't really up to doing anything much at the moment, being out of ink and all. The lights come on, and it is able to communicate, unfortunately, the message it communicates is thus: "I'm hungry, and some dumbass has stolen one of my cartridges!!!" That's right- the damn thing arrived with a pilfered cartridge!!! I mean, I'm expecting to replace spent cartridges, but leaving one out of an Epson, and then shipping it is… Well… Let's just say its pretty fucking BAD. The vendor seems to be receptive to my plight, and I was assured it wasn't SUPPOSED to have left their facility in that shape, but I'm still left with the fact that I now need to buy about $300- $500 worth of cartridges just to see if they managed to damage it by shipping it without a cartridge installed!!!

Anyways, on to other news: I bought a workshop building for my future endeavors. Its pretty big, bigger than any shop I've ever had to myself, anyways. Now, I just have to find a place to put the thing. I just hope I can get a yard big enough to house all this shit. Its just a matter of time till we have to move out of here, and the not knowing WHEN is a big pain in the ass. I can't afford a nice house like this one, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be trailer trash soon… But hey, I'll be Trailer Trash with a BITCHIN' WORKSHOP!!!

The plan is, currently- to buy my boss's crappy trailer on a smallish, but just big enough patch of land, and in a couple years, tear it down and put up the kind of house I want to live in. Not too big, not too small. Anyone who has watched The Adventures of the Little Koala will have seen the house I want to build… I'm planning on copying Roobear's house, right down to the round floor plan, and the Eucalyptus trees. Its smallish, but it'll be the house I've wanted to live in ever since I was 13. Of course, it will have the addition of a stereo room- can't deny my audiophile side. And the kitchen will be quite a bit bigger- I need to cook, and Mrs Koala's stove looked like it sucked pretty hard. Me, I'll have my WOLF.

I doubt I'll have a Gee Bee pylon racer tucked away in the hangar like Mrs. Koala, but the shop looks strikingly like the shed they had out back, and since I'm going to finish the ends myself, I just might paint the same big "A" on the door that they had on their "shed"… Maybe.
