Worshipping at the alter of my New PC

(because it's easier to blog then to do)

My Beast of a PC a) still needs a better name and b) won't fit under my old £9 computer desk thingy. So we're going to turn what is currently my study / 2nd spare room into just my study - for awesome phd work and game playing.

I had a look at lovely vintage desks today, but none of them fit the bill - so we're off to Ikea tomorrow to buy this
(I know it isn't cool or sexy, but it's functional, cheap, and everything will fit - although I'm torn between it in white or black).

Before then I have a bunch of stuff I need to do - In a specific order I think:
  1. Move my Wonder Woman print
  2. Empty the smaller of the bookshelfs onto the bed
  3. Unplug the PC and move it out of the way
  4. Clear the Computer Table, move it out of the way
  5. Put book shelf #1 where the computer table was - and put the books back on it.
  6. Put the computer table (hence fourth as know as bookshelf #2) where comics and shiz in boxes will live
  7. Clear the bed - and dismaPublish Postntle it - it can live in the Elvis suite for now
  8. Tidy up the stuff 'UNDER THE BED', it's going into boxes on bookshelf#2 tomorrow
  9. Hoover
  10. Sleep...
When the new desk is here I'll be able to see how much room I have for a comfy chair / small sofa in my study of awesome.

Update - Sunday 4pm
All done - We were like Ikea Ninjas...

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes
