The Flaming Lips/Ween concert was awesome. Well, Ween was awesome. The Flaming Lips put on a good show, but I was in the mood to hear a band play music and not watch videos and do karaoke to Bohemian Rhapsody and see 10 people dressed like Santa Clause dance (that summarizes the Flaming Lips show). I might have enjoyed them more had I not been there to see Ween and WEEN ALONE. Ween did great song after song after song, with little to no talking between them. They played a pretty cool new one I hadn't heard before, so I am now excited about their upcoming album.

Finished packing and moving today. Brenda helped clean and that really helped out a lot. That, and having been packing days in advanced, rather than 1 or 2 days ahead of time like usual. I think next move-out I will start packing a month in advance so I have almost nothing to do on moving day. Did the walk-through and wasn't charged for some blinds my brother Jacob broke after Disney World, which was my biggest worry about the walk-through.

Also, I moved out this month because I was asked to do so specifically by the previous property manager on the phone, who said someone else wanted to move in and it would really help her out. She even said I could move out sooner, even mid-month, and she'd pro-rate me for that month's rent. Well, during the walk-through it was determined that she had said that in order to screw over the company, because just a month ago she fled town with the financial books and hasn't returned. She thus got me and my girlfriend (she lived in an apartment below me) to move out of our apartments a month sooner than we should have and hurt the company, and we both had no idea. We thought we were doing the company a favor. Luckily we aren't in trouble, and the new manager even apologized that I was being "thrown out" a month earlier than I should have been. Even offered to let me move back in for a month (no thanks).

The search for a ride to L.A. intensifies, and I will probably need to decide what we are doing within the next 48 hours.
