time to go

I keep thinking I’ll have time to post about my trip to Tucson, and then something else comes up. At least there are photos.

Tonight I decided to celebrate by going to my favorite Indian place and having my favorite dish. When I came out of the restaurant and arrived at my car, someone had tucked a brilliantly red rose underneath my left windshield-wiper.

Creepy stalker possibilities aside, I thought it was awfully sweet. Thanks, random rose-giving stranger.

This is a backwards entry. I didn’t tell you what I was celebrating, did I?

Zen and I are moving to the City.

*tries to refrain from bouncing in her seat, and fails miserably*

Tuesday night, I went to see Inkbot’s flat again, even though I thought it was darling the first time I saw it. Inkbot and I wanted to chat and see if rooming together was really a doable thing. As it turns out: yes, yes it is. I broke the news to my landlady and now it’s time to pack and clean like a robotic fiend. It seems like I was just doing this, but it would have been one and a half years ago in June. The plan is for Zen and me to be entirely moved in by 23 May.

I keep wondering if I’m ready to live in the City, but then I remind myself: I’ve been ready for almost five years. It’s time to go!

    Go! Go become a city-dwelling ‘Sted! Sted in the City!

    It has a nice ring to it.

    And think! No more ferries to go to Macworld!

    You must have a housewarming. It is the way things are done. *nods firmly*

    Hooray for the city!

    If the rose had showed up last week, I’d have thought it was a St. George’s Day present. On St. George’s Day you give someone a rose and a book.

    GO, ‘STED, GO!

    incidentally, darius, i like this st. george thing! the rose, not so much, but shouldn’t we always be giving each other books, always?

    We certainly should. I don’t know what it has to do with St. George — it’s said to be a kind of Hallmark holiday in Spain. Another holiday I just learned of is International Ice Cream For Breakfast Day, on the first Saturday in February.

    But … but … but … you had mentioned that you are so happy living only a few minutes from work.
