Greetings from Virginia
The move is over — or at least Phase 1 of the move, Phase 2 being the part where I find a more permanent place to live and get my stuff out of storage. Everything went fine, even with down-to-the-wire packing and three airplanes to catch. I arrived in Charlottesville on Friday and spent the holiday weekend recuperating from the move and catching up on a massive sleep deficit. The change of setting — from gloomy basement grad-student apartment in the Midwest to pleasant little 19th-century building back east — is already doing wonders for my state of mind. This morning, I got up early and ate breakfast on the balcony of my new apartment, which is only mine for the next month, so I’m going to enjoy it as much as I can. Tonight, if I can get tickets, I’m going to go see Fahrenheit 9/11 at the Vinegar Hill Theatre. (I was so busy with moving that I missed it on its opening weekend.)
I don’t have internet access at home yet, so there will be limited bloggage for a little while. I start work on Wednesday. Further bulletins as events warrant.
Vinegar Hill was the first movie theatre I ever went to that served beer and coffee. I went to college in a wee town over the hill to the west, so trips to fancy places like Charlottesville were great treats. It’s definitely one of my favorite towns I ever lived near or in, so I hope it treats you well…although July isn’t the best time to move to humidity-land. 🙂
Do post your opinions on 911.
Happy settling into Virginia!
Whoo Hoo! Congrats on finishing one of life’s most annoying tasks. Now get back to blogging!
Yeah! Glad you didn’t get eaten by the dust bunnies. Enjoy your view while there!
Vinegar Hill is a great theater. Be sure to check out Sneak Reviews for the best foreign and independent video selection I have ever seen..
Charlottesville hot in July? Hell, I just moved to New Orleans last weekend. Let me tell you about hot.
Congrats on settling in. But don’t make us wait too long for updates 😉
