I have opened up all my boxes and have put together the table and ensured the guitar still works. Been to Target twice in two days to pick up extra things I need, and once I get cable installed Thursday, it'll be somewhat of a temporary home.

There was an "Urban Living" night around Dayton tonight, with apartment complexes, restaurants, and shops open late to show off their stuff. It was cool to explore around town, and look into the oddly named "Fifth Third Field", home of the Dayton Dragons, losing 2-0 in the 4th, but the fans didn't seem to care. And I stopped in an art store and pet a cat for like ten minutes, so that was a good feeling. Nobody tell Tucker.

My nose is doing okay; it only hurts when I make my Angry Rocker Dude face, which I do more often than I thought.
