i think i’m avoiding settling into my new apartment. i don’t seem to be spending a lot of time there. i was there for four days before i left for minnesota and in the week since i’ve come back, i’ve been out for most of it. part of me is just really enjoying being with people (and goodness knows i have to get my fill of that before the sensation disappears), but there is definitely a part of me that is using the social activities to avoid spending time at home.
that’s not to say i don’t like it, because i do. i like it more every day. i just think that i’m still a bit overwhelmed with all the things left to do (i need to post a new list to keep me on track. hm, maybe later.) and the slight disorder of still unpacking and such is make me a little antsy and uncomfortable. for example, i know that not having my curtains & bamboo blinds up is driving me FUCKING BATTY. the white trash curtain was amusing for the first week, now it’s making me angry.
i’m really grumpy because i have all these things to do and i could do them all if i wasn’t at work, but i have to be at work to pay for all the things which need doing, but when i get home from work it’s too FUCKING HOT TO BREATHE so i just sit around in my underwear, sweating to death and staring at the white trash curtain until my eyes bleed.
so, anyway, how are you?
Jeremy is wrong. That’s St. Paul’s Cathedral (the basillica is in Minneapolis).
In other news, I thought I sent you an email the other day. Did you get it?
I’m not catholic so I’m not good at keeping my fancy church buildings straight :)
Consider picking up one of those newfangled energysmart apartment air-conditioners. Cheaper than you might think.
The St Paul’s and St Mary’s look almost alike to me. But if it was in St Paul, it’s the cathedral.
It’s lots easier to tell them apart now that St. Paul’s copper dome was refurbished. If it’s all green and oxidized looking, it’s St. Mary’s Basilica. If it’s all brand new coppery looking, it’s St. Paul’s Cathedral.
