I really need this stuff with the old house to be over. When I was there yesterday to take (what I thought was) the last of the stuff to the storage unit, I looked around at how much was left to do/clean up. I thought about my leg for maybe nine seconds before saying, “fuck […]
I was back at my old house today, and that was about as much fun as you’d imagine. Admittedly the day we’re having today didn’t help. I don’t know about where you are, but we have had pouring, teeming rain the last few hours and the combination of that and a giant orthotic boot on […]
It seems like with the snow mostly gone the entire world decided to make a day of it in Jenkintown. I’ve been out and about today for the first time since Wednesday morning and holy SHIT is this street mobbed. There was, for the first time in the two weeks I’ve been here, a line […]
A word, here, about proper preparation. I watched Tenet last night. This was a long time coming. I had said at some point before The Great Translocation that Tenet would be the first movie I watched in this place. Then, for reasons even I don’t understand, I didn’t set up my TV for ten days. […]
A word, here, about planning ahead. Slowly, ever so slowly, I am clawing this place back from the boxes. In truth I’m only just now, a week and change later, starting to feel human again. The entire process took a lot out of me and it was yesterday when I first felt up to a […]
Someday I will stop moving. Today is not that day. Tomorrow isn’t either. It doesn’t look good for Saturday. It is theoretically possible, though not likely, that I could be done moving on Sunday night, and settle into a nice routine of enjoying my new home rather than living in a warehouse for small cardboard […]
There is a theory that our universe is actually an enormous computer simulation created by beings in some other, outer universe. I’m starting to think there may be something to that, because a six month run of comically-unlikely occurrences have ended up with me living on a streetcorner that, by any reasonable measure, seems suspiciously […]
It’s over. The movers came. The movers packed. The movers moved. The movers unpacked. The movers left. Tomorrow is getting the internet set up. My office. The kitchen. Putting together furniture. Buying lamps – more about that a little later. Well, hopefully tomorrow. There’s a good chance I’m going to sleep for about a week. […]
I have not been fully overtaken by the moving hydra. Not yet. In fact, I think I might JUST get past the sonofabitch. I am discovering reserves of ruthlessness even I didn’t think I had. Much like everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face, you can say you’re as sentimental as […]
No one ever said I didn’t possess vast reserves of ingenuity. I’ve got ingenuity coming out my ears. I’m practically Odysseus. I’m inventing useful shit without even thinking about it. This weekend, for example, I came up with a fantastic way to cut down on your packing and moving expenses, and I wasn’t even trying! […]
