magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

Even though I've got the day off I had to be up early in case 'sometime between 8 and 12' happened to be closer to the beginning of that range than the end. About 9.15 the cable guy showed up. He put in a new line, which as far as I can tell is simply spliced into the line that goes to the first floor. I could have done that. Although I guess you need an activated cable modem to get an internet signal, and that's really what I'm paying for.

Waited to hear from George, who was driving in to the city today to help with moving the last of my stuff out of Brooklyn. And of course between waiting for the cable guy and waiting for George I didn't really eat anything all morning or afternoon. I still don't have any food in the house.

Met George in Brooklyn. Disassembled my loft bed. Packed the rest of my stuff. And drove it up to Inwood. Just the handful of extra boxes makes it look as if I have actually just moved into my new apartment. I still don't have nay furniture, my walls are still bare, my studio and kitchen are still pretty much empty. But I'm starting.

We got dinner at VP2. Then I was off to meet Ellen for a low-key New Year's and he was off back to Connecticut.

Ellen and I watched Bottle Rocket. Drank blackberry martinis and wine and at midnight, TV on with 9 seconds to go, champagne.
