Yay robots!

For those of us who don’t read Chip’s blog, I’ve moved in with him into a house in Champaign. We’ve dubbed it AwesomeBase Alpha (his family’s place out in Gifford is known as AwesomeBase Beta, apparently). We’ve gotten roughly $2,000-$3,000 in more-or-less free stuff to furnish the place with, and it’s just about as big as my old place… only to be shared by two relatively quiet guys, instead of 5 guys and their parties.

What’s also nice is that I can take the MTD’s Blue line right from half a block down onto campus and back again, as well as downtown being walking distance from the house.

I’ve been trying (and succeeding!) to read more these past few months. Last night while I was home from work, I was reading some more Terry Prachett. I’d like to say he does to the fantasy genre what Douglas Adams does for science fiction, but in my opinion, Prachett does it better. Perhaps I need to refresh my memory of HHGttG, but Adams just can’t keep me laughing for pages and pages like Prachett can.
