Here we are...

So upon ariel's urging, I've decided to try to do a blog again. Reasons for this include A) my new move to NYC - now I can update my pals without having to email/call each and every one of them; and B) to keep a little online journal of my new life chapter.

It's been a little over 3 weeks since the big move. Seems like a lot has happened in a short amount of time. I moved into my apartment in Little Italy with my new roomie Jessica. The apt is cute, tidy, and yes, small. This is I was expecting. I've got my little office set up in my bedroom and it's quite snug, but I'm dealing. My room is cute though - I painted the walls (first time painting an apt) white with an aqua trim - to keep things bright and to remind me of the beach. I've got my bed, my make-shift closet (there was no closet), my k-mart dresser, my desk and my computer and that's about it. It's minimal living. And I must admit, it's kinda great not having all my stuff. Only thing I'm really missing is my stereo system and my records. But luckily, I downloaded most of my cd collection to the itunes...and will hopefully be doing some mp3 trading with friends.

Jessica has been great. I feel fortunate to have met her and gotten this apt. She works all day and has been coming home and cooking at night! I hope I'm not cramping her style by being here a lot of the time...I work from home, so what do you want? Speaking of work...I have not been in working mode at all. I have some random projects that I'm taking care of and I'm slacking! Have some logo concepts due today and look what I'm doing...writing this!! I'll get to it...
Also still waiting to hear back about a big website job that I'm praying I get. I met with the powers that be last week, sent in my proposal and am now just playing the waiting game. Fingers crossed...that would be such a cool job. Not going to jinx it just yet though.

The people I've met so far have been great as well. I don't know if 9/11 has something to do with it, but pretty much everyone I've come across couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Really, the NYers have kind of blown me away. Everyone I've met has offered to help with whatever they can when I say I'm new to town. It's quite refreshing. I don't remember anyone offering their services when I moved to LA. But that was a different time too. Who knows. All I can say is, so far, I've been lucky with the kind folks I've met.

There is much more of this and that and here and there that I could go on about, but I won't. So far, I'm just happy to be in a new environment, to explore a new city, to meet new people who've already expanded my little horizons. It's nice. But I'm cold...
