• 11:05 @lampbane: do I even want to ask about the chocolate chip? #
• 12:05 Reason #14 why I love my new apt: it takes me 40 mins door-to-door to get to work. On the other hand, maybe that's a reason to hate it? #
• 17:04 Getting to work early makes me cuckoo at this time. #

This is what happens when I lend my cat to my mom for a month.

• 23:35 Tomorrow, I'm going to cook dinner in this apartment. I can only do fast-food and/or take-out for so long. #
• 23:37 Watching A.Bourdain eat chicharon doesn't help either... #
• 23:57 These white lion cubs look so fwuffy: tinyurl.com/5hubul #
• 10:50 They're opening a Tretorn store on Spring St. I didn't even realize that company was still alive. ^_^;; #
• 12:18 Adding a "Mister" or "Señor" to a cat's name automatically makes it 10x funnier. #

Hey f-list, why isn't anybody talking about the fact that this week is Avatar Finale Week? I think my brother mentioned it to me, but in the move and the exhaustion, I thought the show was just on Friday, not every single day this week.

Good thing I haven't missed any important episodes yet, *cough*

Any photography geeks out there with an equal penchant for kitschy Russian/Soviet bars? This contest may just be for you.

Moving day came and went, and I think the fact that I am still around to update this thing means that I survived this incredibly stressful ordeal. Really, this experience makes me realize that there is a lot of value in living a minimalist, uncluttered life. (Now, only if I could convince myself to stop buying books).

M and my brother were total troopers. We made two trips from Forest Hills to Brooklyn, starting at around 11:30a and finishing up around 9:30p. I have to go back to the old place maybe a couple more times to clean up and make sure that I didn't leave anything super important back there. I think I'm going to get all sappy when I go back there. Roommates nonwithstanding, it was my first grown-up home.

The new apartment, however, is just as, if not more, wonderful. I have lots of bright morning sunshine, and a nice breeze coming in from my windows. The selling point for me for this place really was the fact that it has three windows in the main living area, instead of the usual two for most studios.

I'm a tad bummed that a good chunk of my Sunday was wasted waiting for the cable guy. I was told that my appointment was between 2-5p, and like I've been telling everybody, of course the technician was going to arrive closer to 5p. So, I went out to a quick brunch at Pomme de Terre (really, I don't know what this restaurant is doing in my part of Brooklyn), but went home soon afterwards. I didn't want to leave the apartment since, with my luck, he would've arrived when I wasn't there and then I wouldn't get my internet installed -- and what an awful fate that would've been. Anyway, I now have the internets at home, so all is well with the world.

And yes, it was so nice to hop on a train, go four stops and then be able to hang out with Kris, Ian and M for a couple of hours. I finally saw the (in)famous Carmen San Diego tape, and more than ever, I think that my boy is so utterly adorable.

• 13:02 I think everyone on this floor is curious about the new asian girl who moved in. #
