for reals this time
So, I'm moving. Again. This time for a full year at least. It seems I separate longish-term leases with itty bitty ones, so it goes something like, live someplace several years, then live in several places for a couple months each, then live someplace for several years, and so on. WHEVS.
Moving is funny. For example, assuming Stan can drive to New York by Saturday, which I think he's going to, I need to have my life packed up sometime in the next, oh, forty hours. This afternoon I went in search of some boxes. After bringing them home, I decided what I needed most was a beer. And to blog.
And so here I am, drinking Corona Light (accidentally buying light beer = biggest letdown of the week), BLOGGING of all things, while about fiften little boxes sit expectantly behind me. Conveniently, I can't see them.
For the curious, here's the new place:
Pretty much probably going to be my favorite apartment of all the ones I've lived in. And it will feel very much like home. No more subletting for me, no sir.
Last night I went to a shopping event, which I would allow you to make fun of because of how stupid it sounds except they gave us free wine. Unlimited free wine. In GLASSES. And you know what? It was free. It's funny how much impact free wine has on the volume of alcohol in your body. Afterwards on the subway Jen and I made friends with a lazy-eyed man on the subway who had a snake, which allowed me to have this conversation with Conrad this morning:
Kate: Hey, so last night, on the subway, Jen and I held a guy's boa constrictor.
Conrad: If it came out of a pair of trousers, that wasn't a real boa constrictor, honey.
Switching topics again, Stan and I have this ongoing text message conversation during his cross country drive:
Stan: Nevada sure is a whole lotta nothing
Kate: Just wait till you get to Nebraska.
Stan: What's fucked up about that is that we have to go through Utah and Wyoming just to GET to Nebraska.
And later:
Stan: Wyoming sure is a whole lotta nothing
Kate: Ha, you should keep a list of states in the u-haul and just put check marks next to the whole lotta nothing ones
And later:
Stan: Nebraska [x]
I guess at some point I should look into putting stuff in these boxes.
