i helped my future roommate, gino, unload a u-haul of his big stuff into the new place last night, which gave me some jitters. how exciting, thinking about the nicer neighborhood we’re living in, and how the living room should be set up, and taking a break to sit on the mostly bare floor of our future home eating fast food. moving into new places is so exciting. carrying couches up elevators and down hallways isn’t exactly a thrill ride, but the potential of a new location is fun to think about.

sadly those jitters are accompanied by the moving out ones of thinking about leaving the house i’m in now. after helping him move from about 10 to 1, i came home and sat around with my housemates for a while before i went to bed, and they’re too great to think about parting ways with. it’s not a topic i enjoy dwelling on. i keep trying to focus on how much more fun we can have in the next couple months before the dreaded july 31st, and mostly it’s working, so i’m going to stick with it. i don’t want to picture not being able to come home and have an impromptu porch barbeque with my favorite people in the world; even if our house is falling apart and not close to anything. entirely beside the point.

[now hearing this: nothing. but we watched part of ghostbusters on tbs last night, and boy was the soundtrack to that pretty lame-tastic. and how did rick moranis make a career out of being an annoying dork?]
