A lot went on at Bricks Cascade this weekend, but it's not over yet so I'll blog about that later. For now, I have other news; I'm moving into a new apartment.
I've been commuting to my job in down town Portland from my parent's house, which is 1 hour one-way on a no-traffic day. Basically, it's a pain, so I looked into moving closer. I found a place that's reletively affordable (assuming I don't blow all my income on lego) and also close to the MAX line (light rail public transportation), so it'll be an easy commute in. Not nessessarily that much faster, but a 30-40 minute train ride beats a 60-90 minute car ride (or a 30 minute car ride followed by a 40 minute train ride, which is one option I've used.) Still, it'll be a little easier to commute daily, even tho I will lose access to my parent's car. And I'll have to pay rent and utilities and all that stuff, which is sometimes ridiculasly expensive. Oh well.
I am splitting the cost with a roommate. I met him online, and he seems okay enough, but he is new to the city, so hopefully he won't get too confused by real civilization. As long as he pays rent, doesn't burn the place down, and tolerates my Lego collecting, I'm sure it'll work out. (I've had worse roommates in the past anyway.)
So with any luck, I'll be moving in mid-April. Yay. Unfortunately, having to pay for rent has kinda pushed back my plans to buy a new computer, since my current one is merely limping along. I may still get one, but it would be like two months worth of rent to buy, so I'm cautious about the idea. (Besides, I need to save up for lego too.
