my house becomes a home

it has been 5 days since we moved into the new house. it takes a little time for your house to become your home. i am making small adjustments to my lifestyle and getting to know all the hidden quirks of the new house.

at the old house i used to get my instructions from the floating head in the fire place, it's a hard switch to the glowing orb in the attic.

the food replicator here needs some tweaking, blue milk and purple chicken is a little disconcerting. oh well, nothing ever cooks as good as your first replicator.

i have to poop on the neighbor's lawn late at night in the dark. the old neighbor didn't care when i did it.

it is an extra 4 steps from the bed to the bathroom here, but the garden hose rig i made seems to be working well.

i never thought i would say this, but i kind of miss the high pitched whirring noise coming from the strange machine in the neighbors garage at 3 am.

the old house was hooked to a water system that ensured water flowed from the faucets, shower heads and sprinkler system. the new house flows cherry cool-aid, which makes for a messy shower but the kids love it.

i still don't know where that black hole portal in my son's closet goes. i have been disposing of garbage there, it never seems to fill up. on occasion we hear a distant moan escape from the portal.

home, sweet home.
