I Am Large, I Contain Multitudes

Here's the Rosh Hashanah postcard I sent out. Let me know if I forgot to send you one!
Note to vettecat: I fixed the typo you pointed out. :-}

L'shanah tovah, everyone!

*scurries off to JTS*

Last night we were kept awake well past 5am by throbbing hip-hop bass lines from somewhere in the downstairs vicinity. Oy. Only after justom went down and ascertained that it was in fact immediately downstairs (but unresponsive to knocking on their door, no surprise) did I think to apply the universal "cut it the f**k out" signal of stomping on the floor five times. This had the desired effect: it did come on again a bit later, but more quietly and not so cell-pervading, hardly worth getting up to register another complaint.

So, rather than get up at 7:30am with justom, I managed to stay in bed and mostly asleep until 10:30. I'm grateful to be on vacation and get to do that, but I feel awful for him today, poor love.

Speaking of being on vacation, since I have the luxury of time right now, here's the recap of ( what else I did this weekend... )

For today, I'd been thinking it would be a good day to get to a museum, but the Met is closed on Mondays, of course, and so is the Frick Collection. Maybe I'll try for the MoMA. Off to put some chicken in the crockpot and get rolling.

P.S. I almost forgot to mention: 'tis the nineteenth of Septembarrrr, known across the seven seas as International Talk Like A Pirate Day! Avast!

It's the end of an era.

On Sunday I drove the little car up to Boston for the very last time, and on Monday I signed it over to paradoox and left it in his garage as he drove me to South Station to get my bus home to NYC, car-free once more.

I only cried a little when I got home. :-}

I keep soothing myself with "Someday you can have another little car..." "But I don't WANT another car, I want THIS one! I never did get to take it on that cross-country road trip!" *sniff* At the same time, it's already a mercy not to have to deal with parking. And at least it's still sort of 'in the family', so if you Boston folks happen to see it around, you'll know why.

( more notes from the UWS, week 2 )

Oh right, and Saturday night I'm singing chorus for a "semi-staged production" of Iolanthe, 7:30pm at 40 E. 35th St.; you NYC folks should come see me if you can. :-) We had a stumble-through rehearsal last weekend and it made me incredibly happy, reminding me just how much I adore this show. Though I always say about Iolanthe that it's really more fun to be in than to watch.

And hopefully soon we'll schedule a housewarming and actually have people over (besides jessruth)!

The movers came at 6am this morning, and finished the unloading in NYC right around 6pm.

It's now 10:45pm and wayyyy past bedtime. More later.

Sunday, August 28.
Starting at 6:00 a.m. (oy).

On the plus side, we should be unloaded in NYC well before dinnertime. :-}

Still working out the idea of a final farewell get-together in Boston -- will advise.

I've taken off work on Friday the 26th for packing/logistics errands, as well as Monday the 29th for unpacking. (But then I'm returning to Boston to finish out four more days of work, so might be somewhat available for visiting, esp. Tue/Thu evening.)

Right now I'm posting stuff to Freecycle -- that counts as packing progress, right??
