Crossing my fingers that the movers actually show up at 4pm as scheduled.
I'm not this pale in real life, at least I don't think I am. I balanced my digital camera on a window sill.
As always, there is bonus material on art is the new religion (click plz, kthxbye).
Bonus photos of the ReloCubeTM, the convertible, Chad's band and a peacock at art is the new religion.
The pod is heeeere!
I decided to do a video blog about my move. You can see the first video on my main blog, art is the new religion, but since update #2 is hosted on Vox, here it is:
I think the cat's out of the bag to most of you, should I just come out and say it: I'm moving back to San Francisco.
Six Apart, a company that I love dearly and have worked for since the summer of 2005, has lured me back. At first it was a difficult decision (anyone who knows me knows I'm exceedingly slow and methodical about making up my mind, and usually unwilling to change it) but I realized - after I got through my stubbornness and anxiety - that this is a great thing!! Special thanks to my boss Alex for being so supportive and also to my good friends who helped me weigh the pros and...well there really weren't that many cons. I'm extremely excited and grateful to have a wonderful job and so many awesome friends and coworkers to come back to!
On a practical note, I'll be looking for a one bedroom apartment (or large studio) during the first half of April with the goal of being moved back by early May, so please send me any leads you may have! It breaks my heart a little to leave Austin because I am and always will be a devout Texan, but Jetblue's direct flights from SFO to AUS starting on May 1st should help me cope. And should give my Austin friends no excuse to not visit me.
So there you have it. Life is unpredictable. Life is good!
I found my 2008 calendar in Japantown during my visit to SF. It's almost too cute for me to look at. The cuteness kind of stresses me out.
My former writing outlet of three years, SFist, snarked about my current roommate, Jeff Klein, calling him self-absorbed. :[
Oh the times, they have a-changed.
Oh how I miss the fancy, fancy food in San Francisco! Austin is the home of Whole Foods so I'm not out on a limb or anything, but the produce in SF is way better. The Central Market near my house has a ginormous produce section but a very small selection of organic stuff. Whereas I might have eaten a pluot in San Francisco this morning, I had a plumcot today instead. And I learned the difference between the two is not just the spelling:
A plumcot is a cross between an apricot and plum (Prunus armeniaca x Prunus domestica). A pluot is a cross between a plumcot and a plum (P. armeniaca x P. domestica x P. domestica).
