Get up, Get up, Get Movin'

This whole moving thing has become a really great excuse for everything. For instance, you may ask, "Why has been so long since you've written a blog entry?" And that answer to that, my friend, is because I am so busy moving. What does that mean, exactly? Is anything in boxes yet? Well, heavens no, it isn't.

But what I have done is begun to compile a complicated series of "To Do" lists that consume most of the time that I haven't been spending watching movies and reading books that I need to return to the library and friends before I move. Once I finish each To Do list, I get the same feeling of accomplishment I would have gotten from actually doing something on the list, without any of the hassle of leaving the couch.

Ok, but in reality, I have managed to get some stuff knocked off the list. Well, I went apartment-hunting anyway. I'm either really good at this or really bad at it, because I can look at 100 places and not particularly like any. Eventually, all the apartment complexes tend to look the same. They all have these terrible names that include as many of these terms as possible: village, water, lake, pond, homes, woods, ridge, valley or park.

I may or may not have ended up picking the place with the best snacks available in the leasing office.

Next time I go home-hunting, which I hope is a very long time from now, on the tour, I'm going to ask if I can turn on the shower. I've been thinking about it, and excellent water pressure is the only thing that's kept me in my current place for so long. I'm not going to actually take a shower or anything creepy like that, just a simple check of the flow.

During the whole trip, I had to eat out a lot. And with that comes the playing of one of my favorite restaurant games: "Are they on vacation?"

To play, you just look around and try to figure out who in the restaurant are locals and who's there on vacation. Tips: Look for foreign hip packs, er, belt bags or fanny packs if you will, Hawaiian shirts, baseball caps, tote bags and accents.

Thanks. Now I can check "write in blog" off my list.

NOTE: Here's a good one. My blog program's spell check doesn't recognize the word "blog."
