my new home, cola

(note 1: i have now officially abandoned capitalization. it takes too much time. yes, i know: this is ridiculous for someone who makes a living writing and editing flawless copy. but frankly i'm lazy, when it comes down to it, and i'm not going to give up yet on punctuation, so no worries there. just wanted to keep y'all informed.)

i'm feeling more and more here in south carolina. i know where most things are -- i mean, i've got the grocery store and banana republic down, so i don't think there's much more to say on that -- and the apartment is pretty much set up. of course, it took nearly three weeks for me to even get my furniture --

(note 2: if you are planning a move of any type, DO NOT use giant van lines. they seem nice on the front end, and the mover guys themselves will do a great job packing up your things. but they are an absolute and total nightmare when it comes down to the delivery and all of that. at one point, i actually threatened them with a lawsuit and had "my attorney" a.k.a. my cousin to call them up and threaten them, which actually got their attention, i think, in the end. anyway, just don't use them, mmkay?)

--
but my roommate avril is an interior decorating whiz, so the place looks great and is almost completely put together. i've yet to cook a meal here yet, but i'm working on that for this evening, so as long as the oven etc. cooperates, then i'm happy as can be.

i'm off to the gym (i've actually lost about 5 pounds since i've been here -- maybe my body is just happy to be back in the south, or something, but it seems to have been pretty good for my health) for now, but more to come. i just got a new olympus digital camera, with 8 megapixels, so i'll post some fun new photos soon!
