Still moving stuff
Just like in the real world, I'm still 'unpacking' things from my old site to this new home. I imagine that most people are seeing this new site for the first time today as I've cross-posted this entry to both sites. For those checking my Blogger journal, know that this will be the last post I make here - from now on everything will be gathered together at insideericshead.com.
So far I have managed to manually transfer the house archives back to the day I took posession of my home. In the near future I'll complete the move and get all the pre-build text (and photos) copied over. While I was moving everything I noticed a post wherein I was talking about hanging up my Pink Floyd poster on the wall. For the record, it's still leaning against the wall where it was all those months ago. For the moment, I'll hold off on making any new promises regarding it.
Now, despite my life being a little crazy of late (work, my friend's wedding, a trip to San Francisco, start of the softball season etc.), there has been some cool news on the home-front. I have a driveway, a tree, and grass! While I'd like to show you everything in place, the best I can offer tonight is a shot of the new driveway:
Once I have some shots of my grass (just watered tonight, in accordance with strict local by-laws on when you can and cannot water your lawn I might add) I'll get them up here and talk about how wonderful it is not to feel like that character from Peanuts, leaving a dusty trail behind me whenever I'm walking around in the neighbourhood.
For those of you still not sure why I'm forcing you to change your bookmark in Firefox, let me try and explain myself very quickly: while a good website is -at least for me- a focused website, there is more to me than my house. Along those same lines, now that I'm moved in here, what is happening in my life is heavily overlapping with life in the house and vice versa. I will continue to post about my house and everything that happens in a new home, but I'd also like the luxury to talk about things like the wedding I attended on the weekend, or that new CD I heard, or last night's softball game, etc.
"But isn't this going to remove your focus?", you ask? I'm looking at it as a refocusing of my energies. Most, if not all, of the people reading this site know me personally so while they're probably happy to hear about my place, they might also like to know what I did last weekend, or what I'm listening to, or what I think about topic "x". I also hope that allowing myself the freedom to write about other topics on occasion will keep me interested in this site and therefore keep me on schedule more than I have been of late.
So, I encourage you to stay with me for at least a little longer; if you really don't care about anything other than my house, I can show you how to do that in an upcoming post (part of the WordPress explanation that I talked about last post). Hope to see you again soon!
