Hey look, I accomplished something.

Well. I've made significant headway into the pile in front of my dresser. The monster conglomerate of boxes and bags is gone, leaving a rubbermaid crate and two smallish boxes that contain stuff that eventually will live in my closet. I've also mined the crate under my desk for tag-saleable morsels, determined that the other crate was sundart's, not mine (and subsequently evicted it from my room), and emptied a flat crate of its contents and filled it with various craft stuff and shoved it into the yawning cavern under my bed.

I have a box of tag sale stuff and some cardboard to go downstairs. I also have a cubic assload of paper recycling. My desk is a bit of a disaster, as various and sundry small items discovered along the way are temporarily living atop it. Somewhere in that mess are quite a few tender vittles in the shape of gift certificates to various places. yeah baby.

The crate under my desk is full of notebooks. The other crate is full of toys. Beenie babies, my little ponies, charms and other plastic tchotkes that I can't deal with until the bigger stuff is trashed/put away. Speaking of which, my trash can, which was empty this afternoon, is now full, and there's a pile of paper recycling and another of cardboard waiting to go downstairs.

I'm almost to the point where I can stop unpacking my room and start decorating it. Sweet.

You really can't take the media lab or the WAG out of this girl.

at the risk of being scoffed at by anzovin... I'd like to just say OMGLUFFSQUEE.

Reason being that while unpacking I found my install disks for Bryce 5 and Poser 5. Yeah, I'm sure both programs are up to versions seventy billion by now, but I don't care! I am currently wallowing delightedly in boolean shape heaven (hell?) and later will be having fun bending virtual people into funny shapes.

As if the geek quotient isn't high enough, the first thing I did on opening Bryce was to immediately start building a segment of four track subway according to the dimensions of the original IRT. (Specs are available via the Gutenberg Project.) And thanks to my sweet buttery EPeen, it doesn't take all day to render either. Course I haven't put in lights yet, so that may change... Still! *cackle* I sense a rash of strange futuristic animated icons in the future...

O_o ok that's cool.

Well first of all I'm glad to see that they've finally gotten around to plotting subway stations into google maps for New York. Paris and London have had theirs forever.

Second of all, I am boggled by the new Street View feature. There are no words to describe how insane and l33t that is. I mean, I'm sitting at my computer and at the same time virtually standing in the middle of the intersection of Caton Avenue and Saint Paul's Place (about 2 blocks from The House), twirling around and around and waving to the subway station I used almost every day for nearly two decades. The joys of the internet I tell you. If I tried to do that in real life, I'd be mown down by either a bus or a gypsy cab.

Ah Google Maps. Finding new and innovative ways to enable stalkers worldwide since 2005. :D
