i have been living in good 'ol hamtown this afternoon i found an apt. in st.catharines i guess what's so strange is i'll be away from all of my friends and family. even when i was living on blake st.(my old haunt) everone was within a fifteen minute drive. but hey, this is what i have to do. scary, yes, a bit. i think it's even keel though. 15 minutes to work. 25 minutes to the laundramat(home). i looked at two other places today. phoned half a dozen. the first place i looked at smelled like pee and it didn't have a shower(just a tub). sorry but, i'm not up to taking baths for the next year. the next place i looked at was like a jail cell. you couldn't even move without hitting a wall or something. it was also very very dark, which equals depressed from not enough sunlight. so this place that i'm moving into is actually on the same street that my brother lived on when he was at brock u. one house over! weird, i thought. but i like the street. and i like the house. there are six other apts. in it. i will be #3. the rooms are fairly big and bright. unfortuanately the idiot who lived there previously trashed the place with his two "big-headed dogs" quote from my new landlord not me, but i echo it totally. ug, dogs, is there anything they don't do? i'm not getting started on them. so in two weeks the wallpaper has to come off, the floors sanded and refinished and the bathroom cleaned, painted and tiled. the kitchen floor recovered and new windows and a front door replaced. like i said he freakin' trashed the place. some people.

so in closing i'm now closer to work, and closer to my girl. all good. i hope i like it. there are some things i will miss. number one and number two, isis & chutney. four years ago my mom got chutney to keep me company will i was studying. a week later isis came into the fold. i also will miss the backyard and central air. you have to break away(again) some time. i've been living at home since oct. '98.

as usual i had tons to blab about, and as usual it just stayed in my head. yesterday was friday the 13th. tomorrow is father's day. when the hell will that happen again?
