<p>i "moved in" to my "new house"*. it's with my good friend carrie. there are three other dogs here making it a menagerie. but surprisingly, civ got along with them right away. </p>

<p>* - i use the quotes, b/c these are both used very loosely to describe the reality of it all. my living sitch is really ...fluid... these days. i just wanna settle down and grow some roots. is that too much to ask?</p>

<p>well, even though the <a href="http://veganstraightedge.com/articles/2005/3/12/2/the-wordpress-upgrade-party/">wp upgrade party</a> was awhile ago, i just now got around to actually doing the upgrade. what with the move and all, it just seemed less pressing. but in the process i went back to the default theme, based on a theme originally called <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick">kubrick</a>. so i need to restore back to its once former glory. but in the process i might jazz it up a bit. i dunno. no promises. my attention tends to be focused on other areas these days. but this is the way it looks for the now.</p>
