The loft is emptying. The move is on. Rather timely too, as the heat is beginning to become unbearable again.

Thu, 14 Mar 2002

The "Service Engine Soon" idiot light is no longer on. Thankfully, it was just a vacuum hose that needed to be replaced. The computer kept spitting back "engine running lean"... it really is a dream to drive again.

I am moving. The loft experience is ending. No longer will I be stuck in traffic on Waters Ave. waiting for the damn train to pass. No more airplanes landing every 15 minutes. No more downstairs neighbor smoking up my apartment. And best of all, no more sweaty summers suffering that wholely inadequate air conditioner! Gah!


Only 30 packing days left. This isn't going to be pleasant.

Fri, 01 Mar 2002

That's right. I'm growing a beard. To go along with the ever growing hair. The sad part is how long it is taking.
