limbo

Well, the move is done. The 53′ truck showed up this morning and somehow maneuvered into our storage facility. Quite a feat of turns and mirrors. Most of the stuff was loaded into our 10×10′ unit, and the rest went into our car and my dad’s minivan to come back here for the fall/winter. It […]

450 miles

Today we traveled from San Francisco to Roseburg. We started with a full tank and stopped for gas once, in Medford. We’ll probably get gas again about 250 miles from here, somewhere in WA. Even with our car loaded with crap, we’re averaging 46mpg. In Redding, we got coffee at Starbuck’s. The young guy working […]

countdown

I’m taking a little break here and figured I would write something. The move is still feeling sort of unreal. It’s hard to get a handle on it. We have so much stuff, and yet we have gotten rid of so much, too. I think it’s just that all closets and cupboards and drawers have […]

lol my cat

Simon is going to be so famous. We got a ton of packing and cleaning done so far today. When Brian is around to help, things go so much faster. More under-bed finds: boxes containing + all four high school yearbooks (“Tempo”, lol) + stacks of letters from people who read my old fanzine + […]

Today I went to my ninth bikram yoga class. When I go to my tenth, I will have spent $3 per class. I am really making the most of that introductory offer. I think I am making progress, but with yoga, it really does take a long time to work up to an “advanced” level. […]

getting rid of things

The moving sale went great. I think we got rid of over 2/3 of our crap, and pocketed about $130. For the last ninety minutes, Brian took off to mail seven boxes of books to my dad’s house and pick up lunch for us. We still have a few things left over. The TV cart […]

caffeine

Time flies when you’re not bored. I went to yoga right after the painter showed up. When I got back, our red dining room was returned to dull white. Boooooo. I ate a little food, then I went out to post flyers around the neighborhood. I got back and decided to go down to Hayes […]

every day is like saturday

I have this weird feeling that I want to stay up all night long, avoiding sleep, and just work on packing and sorting and throwing things away. I think about all the hours wasted in bed. I am imagining Alex’s studio apartment, no bigger than my living room+dining room, his lack of possessions, his bookshelf […]

hump day

You guys I am going to my fifth hot yoga class this morning. I am starting to get used to it. I think today I am going to bring a small washcloth so that I can more easily wipe the sweat off my face every ten minutes or so. I know, it’s pretty sexy. Yesterday […]

ilu craigslist

I quit my job but I’m still makin cash money. Sold books today and pocketed $70. Sold my beloved old stereo for $40, my component unit with dual cassette deck that made many a mix tape. I had so many good times with that thing. But it has fallen into disuse as all of my […]
