Well, for the 9th time in 9 years I'm moving. The only year I haven't moved was this past year in 2006. And I had two moves in the summer of 2001. At this point, I'm pretty sick of it.
In any case, it has to get done and so here I am packing up my apartment. I'm moving to Williamsburg, the hispter neighborhood of Brooklyn where all the creative types live and hang out. Its quite an energetic neighborhood with a lot of restaurants, bars, and both commercial and mom and pop stores. I'll only be 3 blocks from the L train which gets me to Union Square in Manhattan in about 5-8 minutes. This is going to significantly cut down my commute time for both work and social activites. NO MORE BUS! WOOHOO!
I'm moving to a 2bdrm place in a building recently renamed "The Triangulum," named for its triangular shape formed by the criss-cross intersection of Keap St, Grand St, and Borinquen Place. And yes, I said 2bdrm; I'm getting a roommate. Ken and I decided that our history (see the beginnings of this blog circa 2004/ early 2005 for a historical review) is history and over the past year and a half we have become much better friends. While I am still a bit apprehensive, we'll see how it goes. I'm trying to be optimistic.
In any case, its a new 2bdrm, about 800sq ft, stainless steel appliances, laundry room in the basement, etc. The only real problem is storage space in both the kitchen and bedrooms. I'm going to have to buy some kind of wardrobe thing from Ikea to keep my clothes in because the closet is T-I-N-Y. Oh well... we'll make it work somehow.
So, back to packing. Pictures and such to come after everything is settled and internet is up in the new apartment. And hopefully then my life will have calmed down and I'll be back to regular posts.
