moved in

i guess thats relative though. i am in the bronx now. this building is now my primary residence after spending 3 different times here as a visitor knowing i was returning home i am now turning the tables. i know theres stuff we still need - but for the most part we are settled. my goal for tonight was to unpack and tomorrow was to food shop but got hungry. so tomorrow my goal is to unpack. its better this way because i can have a bowl of cereal or some eggs in the morning before i unpack instead of waking up totally unpacked and with no food.

nfl draft is tomorrow for my fantasy team and i havent given it any more thought than i am right now as im typing it. i should change that.

also - my big light wouldnt fit in my car and my desk lamp sucks so i brought a clip light figuring i can just bend that where ever i need to. problem - bulb is burnt out. solution - went to target for things like bowls and shower curtain which we needed and bought bulb. no resolution - socket didnt match. alas i am using my closet light to illuminate my room. yes they give you a light in the ceiling in the closet - but not in the bedroom.

the end.

packing: part 2 of 3

im really not gonna write about packing again other than to say my plan of putting all my clothes in bags failed when i realized too late that we have no bags - so theyr sitting in a pile on my floor.

today was the last day of work. it remains to be seen if i will be allowed to work there form my apartment. fingers crossed.

on my way to and from work fro a few years now ive passed this hill in the midst of a series of windy back roads that was mainly dirt for awhile. then over the course of the end of last summer i notice some activity and in the winter there was construction. now every day (that im alert enough to realize where i am) i look out my window at this place. its not the biggest house of seen or the most elaborate but something about this place just causes me to look up day after day.

thanks to alex for snapping the picture out the driver's side window on the ride home.

new york tomorrow!

packing: part 1 of 3

so i started pulling my shit that needs to go to school together tonight. typically for me when i get home from school in the spring my least concern is finding a sensible place for everything or keeping in mind what i use at school that i will be using at home and need to remember to pack 4 months later. So packing to return is always interesting. There are things i find that i didnt remember to bring the year previous and theres plenty of shit i will realize i forgot once i get to the bronx. (i have too much shit).

so tonight was part 1 - the most brainless of the packing - all of the 'stuff' which is classified as all non-clothes. these things are typically either close by (stuff ive used since returning home) or still in the boxes they came home in (stuff i didnt). the second part is harder to find because finding places for these boxes in may is a challenge and i have to get creative - and so its like a treasure hunt come august. part two will be packing up my clothes which in the past has been sensible and packed in suitcases - this year im thinking grabbing what i think is 'enough' and putting it in trash bags.

part 3 is the day of - tetris-style packing of the car. im driving myself up this weekend but cant fully move in until next weekend when my parents will follow with - hopefully everything else. so i have to sorta pack it all now despite most of it staying here until then. i just hope that once my car is packed there isnt more than what can fit in a small suv.
thats my living room right now. think i'll fit it all? another question is - wheres it all going?

i should be in bed already

thats about all that needs to be said. but alas theres things to be done.

may not post the next few days - heading to cedar point in sandusky, ohio. not planning on bringing my computer. will tweet photos - if you arent on twitter you can still check out my page twitter.com/pennooch.

see you soon.

one last time...
