Well the first boxes are packed away and the internet is up. Tonight we spend our first night in the new house.

The kitchen cabinets are mounted and we have hung lights in “almost” every room. So far, everything has survived the move unscathed. Of course we have lost some fish, one neon and a scalara (angel fish?) but the majority survived. We have our skype up’n running (jaronlittle). We don’t have our satellite dish up yet (for tv), but then again, we don’t miss it yet.

While on the subject of tv. I have long been a fan of Japanese obstacle game-shows. (admittedly a niche genre). From the early days of Takeshi’s Castle (england dub) to my new favorite Viking, The Ultimate Obstacle Course (family edition) lets just say I have a thing for it. They are the closest you can come to a video game in real life. I think that the single player form of Viking should be an Olympic sport. Point is I am a fan. One of the jokes about me moving to germany was that Takeshi’s Castle is still on air here in re-runs. Right now your saying, ok jaron, but what does this have to do with moving, have you finally misplaced your last marble? I mention this because RTL the network that brings you the German superstar, Lets dance and a hundred other “originals” Is now doing a pirate theme Takeshi’s Castle remake. This makes jaron a happy camper, and gives him a reason to screw in the satellite dish.
