goodbye, alfred

i've finally moved. boxes are everywhere, but the basics are set up. this place is close to perfect, but like any place has its issues, namely bigfoot who lives upstairs (jk, bigfoot, you guys are really nice people, just heavy footed around the house)

fortunately, the stomping doesn't happen that frequently, a few times during the week, but like any normal human being i tend to focus on the times the stomping does take place and am unable to focus on anything at the time. gotta love human nature.

and as part of being a new homeowner, i bought my first power drill and am going to have my first house warming party. fun.

but other than that, i'm happy to be moved in and excited at the prospect of clearing the boxes this weekend. i feel like life was on hold as i packed and changed addresses; i can finally get on with 08.


my old apartment - 1014 1/2 alfred street -- had lots of "character". street parking with neighbors that bump your car while parking, uninsulated & freezing, creaky floors, explanation to various accounts as to what the 1/2 was -- all of it will (truly) be missed.
