I've barely had a moment to myself these past few days — aside from sleep and the occasional shower. Yes I've been busy, what with the move, visiting Cousins that were in town, Matty's show in Oakland, working to get my online classes ready for Summer early, getting to know my new super-cool roommates, and filing my taxes at the last minute (6 forms of income in 2 different states, and finding every deduction I could made the process fairly time consuming). I'm not going to feel like myself again until I'm fully unpacked (holy moly, I've accumulated a lot of stuff in the last 7 months), send proof of my California residency to Monroe County (in New York) so they won't expect me to report for jury duty next week (which is funny because I was registered in Ontario County before I left), and getting my renter's insurance set up; pretty pricey in an area where the ground shakes every once and awhile (the recent scare tactics aren't helping). Thank gosh I have Thursday(s) off, I need a catch up day!
Until then, I shall resume my regularly scheduled posts er, start posting regularly. Maybe I'll tell you all about the new place tomorrow. Would you like that? Would you?
Or perhaps I'll write about the Taco Bell snipper riffle incident in Oakland over the weekend, a sign that my love for tacos will bring me to a serious situation, someday.

I lived in Northern Cali for 6 years and felt a few earthquakes. And if you want to talk about scare tactics, I was there for the 10 year anniversary of the BIG ONE from 1989 and that one like that was going to like totally happen on the anniversary. It didn't. Thankfully.
I moved back to the Midwest so that I could only have to worry about tornadoes.
I love Taco Bell and all things Mexican food! SF has such great Mexican food! Sigh. I miss it.

Wow! Finishing those taxes is quite an accomplishment. I had a hard enough time doing my own back when everything was simple.

Kristabella: I felt my first one back in October while at a Tigerlilies show in the Castro - I thought it was the drummer! And yes, amazing Mexican food -- makes one wonder why I still eat taco bell, the answer is complex.
Melissa: Thanks! And it's folks like you that motivate me to write :)
Allie: taxes make me wish I was a carefree child again. because i went on "sabbatical" last year, I barely made anything... yet my 2007 taxes took the most time and energy to complete. Sigh.

I can't even believe that you've been out in CA that long! It seems like you JUST moved.

NPW: I know! Next week marks month 7 since I moved, and yesterday was month 6 for Matty and I. Time keeps moving faster and faster. Slow down, speed demon time!
