Something not unexpected: moving isn’t fun at all.
Something unexpected: I was invited to a goat roast on Saturday night.
What's been on my mind lately? Read on...
So far, my experience with Door-to-Door moving has been exceptional – they communicate well, arrive on time, and deliver what they promise. Can’t ask for more than that… well, if they offered me fresh baked cookies, I’d be even happier.
Fresh baked cookies were the only highlight of my red-eye flight to Boston last week – I was kept from sleeping first by a row-mate who fainted in the aisle (she recovered just fine) and then by a mewling cat (they really shouldn’t let them on overnight flights). Alaska Air does bring hot, melty chocolate-chip cookies around inflight, though, so that went a fair ways towards making it all better.
I’m headed back to Boston tonight (woo! red eye!) to collect all the stuff that’ll fit in my new apartment. Unfortunately, the lathe, table saw, and much of the craft room fall into the “won’t fit” category. Can we have a moment of silence for them? Thanks.
Highly recommended is the tasty vegetarian Chinese food in the International District at Vegetasia. I’m not often a big fan of fake meat, but they do it well – try the “kung pao chicken” (which is nothing like kung pao chicken, but it’s good), eggplant, and green beans.
I’m almost done reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It hasn’t really inspired me to meditate or start studying philosophy, but I do kinda want to become a mechanic now. A month or two more of not finding any other job and I just might become one.
