Sep. 4th, 2006 11:25 pmThe house needs more seating, bad. If we're going to have as many guests as we seem to be having on weekends, we'll need two couches. Bloody Freaks and Geeks.
Sunday of Bumbershoot was fuckin' fantastic. Kanye put on one of the best shows I've ever seen, no question.
Hip-hop with live orchestration? Sure! He also would play sections from like Jay-Z songs he produced, and played the new Puff Daddy single (Get Off) just because he liked it. You never knew what was next.
Spoon, The New Pornographers, and mewithoutYou all put on great shows as well, although I'd seen TNP and mewithoutYou at real clubs before, which was of course better. mewithoutYou had some new material, though, which was quite good.
Spent the day on a Fry's trip with Deb, Beckie and Josh. Parted together a computer for Deb, which took a while and was kind of stressful, but I'm really happy with the setup and I hope it works really well for her. She bought me a delicious Indian food lunch, so I can't complain about that deal. Also got a nice wireless router for $20 and a 400GB hard drive for $100, a price I'm likely to laugh at for one reason or another when I read this entry a year from now.
The house is slowly feeling comfortable. A monster shopping run at fred meyer's on Saturday went a long way. Amazing what a shelving unit and some rugs can do. Andy made us some ethernet cables for the living room and attic runs, bless his clogged heart, but the one I painstakingly ran tonight didn't work. Plus, they're blue. Since this is a nice place, and it seems best to keep it that way, and because the cables will be nailed to the wall, I'll probably spend the $25 and get known-good white ones from monoprice.
Everyone that comes by has something different to say about the house, but it's been very good. This is encouraging.
Tomorrow I have to go back to work, unfortunately. It's been a busy weekend. I need sleep tonight for sure.
