So the moving is done and my apartment is set up almost the way I want it. There are only three things standing in the way of my happiness:

1) BEES! On the first day I moved in, I noticed a large quantity of dead bees in the windowsill of my bedroom, between the screen and the window pane. We're talking at least 20 dead bees - a total bee cemetary. Then I noticed that some bees became both enterprising and undead, and actually entered my room. To die on the inside windowsill, or the floor. Where I stepped on them. Twice.

People, I have not been stung by a bee since my youth, but it happens to suck almost as much as moving.

I cleaned all the dead bees and flushed them down the toilet (the new bee cemetary!), but I noticed there were more buzzing around outside my window. I figure there must be a rip in the screen, and one got trapped in there and communicated "help!" to its hivemates (bees can communicate, right? I think I read that somewhere), luring them in and trapping them one by one into the mass bee grave in my windowsill. Then the enterprising ones attempted to escape by crawling through the crack in the window into my room. So I called maintenance, and taped up the window with masking tape in an attempt to prevent them from entering. I don't much care if they live outside, and I don't even really mind cleaning up dead ones from my windowsill from time to time, but I draw the line at another foot-stinging injury.

2) DISHES! Apparently, when you move and buy a whole pile of new kitchen stuff, not only do you have to wash all of the dishes you brought, but all of the dishes you just bought as well. I don't have a dishwasher in the new apartment, and so I have been proceeding with this task, slowly.

3) NO CABLE AND INTERNET! This will be remedied very, very soon.
