Thinking...

Since yesterday (read previous post) I'm just thinking about how we will set up everything once we will live in this apartment I'm writing about for a week now. Where will our office be? How we'll manage to find ourselves an oven? What will be the future color of our bedroom? A lot of people helped and will help us, finding electronic appliances, couches, kitchen stuff... Alex and I are a little cheap and we try to get almost everything free.

Later on, we will need a new computer, probably a laptop that we could carry for school projects. It may be our biggest purchase, close to a thousand dollars with taxes. I'm ready for this purchase, but it's still a lot of money...

I'm also thinking about space... The apartment is very spacious for a 4 ½, but I wonder if we will be able to put all our stuff there. We've got many books (since we're studying both), 2 huge desks and my father will build a box for Alex's bed, which is a queen mattress and is kind of big.

I suppose I should stop wondering about those details and enjoy the fact that we'll live there. We're so happy about it!

If we paint the living room in grey... Sorry.

*****

Since the beginning of the year I bought myself few mangas (more than 10, let's call it a few anyway), including Gunnm and Berserk. You may have never heard about the last one if you're not a japanese comic fan, but if you do, you know it's one of the best. "Gorry" enough with lot of blood, talented swordsmen (and women) and a demon chasing berserker named Gutts (written in french) branding a huge claymore (8 feet long and 1-2 feet wide). I like the story (2 friends, one betraying the other to become a powerful demon) and Gutts character, sensible and intelligent being even if all his rage consume him. Another character, Judo (is it the right way to write it?), who dies cruelly because of Griffith's betrayal (and dream), makes me think about myself, being talented in many domains, but not enough to be strong in one in particular. He spoke with powerful and wise words and seemed the voice of reason of the Band of the Hawk.

I'll probably do a Berserk slide show of my favorite images, like I did for Gunnm.

Anyway, I got to leave for job soon...

hey there, just thinking about the computer you're talking about. I know it would be useful if you can carry it, but its less performant. Therefore I suggest not to buy a laptop, even more so if you need all the programs that alex is using. I doubt it would fit well on a laptop.
anyways, who am I to judge, you're probably gonna talk it over and over before buying it. ;)
