Long awaited, Costa Rica pictures.

I have finally uploaded some Costa Rica pictures. There was a lot of them, so I just took a small handful of the best ones and posted them online. You can view them, like all the other pictures, either through my personal site or through Flickr itself.

I’ll have a full write up in due time. Right now, I figure it was best to get the pictures up since so many people were asking for them.

Pictures of my new place.

It’s been a while since I updated any photos. Well, I have some updated now. Before I moved in, I took a bunch of shots of my new place. I also have a few shots of the plants growing around the place; I still need to get all of them identified.

You can view them all through my handy flash viewer or you can jump over to Flickr and view them there. Feel free to leave any comments or even any names of the plants (if you can see them well enough).

One Bank… One Card… One Name.

This is too hilarious not to share. It would appear that with the merger of Bank of America and MBNA, a couple employees made a parody of U2’s “One” in celebration.

It’s official, I’m a home owner!

It is now official and I have, almost, fully moved into the new place. A slight almost there there a small snafo on the utility company’s part. They told me they would do the switch over on Friday but failed to. As a matter of fact, they told me they have successfully did the disconnect, but hadn’t done the reconnect a the new place. What crap is that?! They are suppose to get the place connected today. I even called to make sure!

I have my frig bought, a nice Whirlpool contoured fridge. While I can’t open the freezer side 100%, it’s good enough to get stuff in and out. It is a side-by-side fridge with a built in water filter and whirlpool’s unique in-door ice dispenser. I like this feature; it’s unique and it does open some extra self space.

Boring week…

It’s amazing how boring the week can be when you’re stuck in processing phase. But, from the looks of it, everything is in line to close here on Friday. I just found out today the appraisal went through extremely well. It appraised at 121k vs the 114k I bought it for. Return on investment immediately!

I still have until Friday. Boring week, wasting time until I can finally start doing work to the place and moving in. Maybe I’ll work on some of these Costa Rica pictures people keep bugging me about. Yes, the DVD is in and yes, it does work.
