Moonday

Yeah basically couldn't think of a title. Actually, my eyes are doing this weird unfocusing thing and I can't even see the screen. I'm just typing by muscle memory. :)

Update on not having a car to piss in or a window to throw it out of: It's great. Fucking grizzate! Seriously, it was a blessing in disguise when I totaled my partner's car (even though I still feel terrible about it!!).

When you take the bus everywhere and/or walk, you feel more connected to your community. You share unique experiences with total strangers and even on a bus crowded with people from a much different background than yourself, you feel connected to them. Plus, parking is so annoying. And we never have to again!

I should be studying for my Italian test or doing library work right now, so I'm going to stop writing.

Carlessness

I totaled Brian's car two weeks ago because I'm a dumbass. That's the true reason. We've decided to use the payoff for other necessities (like paying off all that the car racked up in the first place) and just going without a car. WHOLE new chapter of life here. We've already had some major difficulties but we're pressing on. We're fortunate enough to live in Albany, where you really don't need a car. Tiny cute little city with an almost efficient bus system and we live right in Center Square, bordered on the north by Washington and on the south by Madison, otherwise known as the two avenues from which ALL buses come.

So let's see how this goes for the next few years.... :)

Another way of looking at it is practice for NYC (or, less likely, Boston).
