So, yesterday we got our wisdom teeth out. It wasn't too bad, really. My gums still feel sore, so i don't think i'll try solid food until tomorrow, but I can handle a diet of jello, pudding, snowballs, mashed potatoes and soup. i'm really looking forward to getting entirely healed so that we can get the fuck out of here. It'll be great to have...

I've just had a very busy four days. On Friday, we went with my grandparents to bring some things into the new apartment. Tara wasn't feeling well, and my grandfather can't lift anything, so it was mostly up to me to get everything from my grandfather's truck into the apartment. Tara was able to help with the bigger things at least. It took most of...

The new power supply and RAM for Tara's computer came in today, so I got her computer fixed this morning. I now have some files from her computer on the laptop. We went to Mart of Wals today to get a bunch of stuff for the apartment. We currently plan to go to Lafayette tomorrow to see Tara's family. On Friday, we'll go to the...

The good news is we found an apartment. At the moment, there is no bad news. We'll be in the Garden District, so it's not walking distance to school, but is is walking distance from St. Charles, so I can take the streetcar (once it's working) or the bus (until the streetcar is up) to get to Tulane. I would have liked something like laundry...

In terms of apartment hunting, yesterday was kind of a wash. We saw two places, the first of which we sort of knew we wouldn't take unless it really impressed us, and it didn't. The second place was perfect, but someone else had already looked at it, so even though we said we would take it, the other person decided to take it instead. End...

Tonight we ran out and got some sushi, once again from Mikimoto. We got hold of Matt, who agreed to meet us since he couldn't get his laundry done anyway, and we got hold of Robin, who I haven't seen in way too long. After dinner, we went back to her place and hung out for a bit, which was nice. While talking, I got...

This morning, i finally got the wireless network set up (don't look at me like that, the laptops just came in yesterday, and my mother needed a username and password which she couldn't remember to make use of the internet connection), so I'm now on my allegedly portable laptop, getting everything set up the way i like it. I have Trillian functional again, except for...

We got to my parents' house yesterday, so we are now as close to home as we're going to get before actually moving back into New Orleans. I've got a new cell phone, but I'll post the number later. I still don't have our computers, but I emailed the movers about that, and I'll see what they say.
enough for now, bye bye.

I just decided to make a quick update from Tara's uncle's house in San Francisco. We're doing ok, except for some car trouble which kept us for an unplanned night in Seattle (which isn't far from our point of origin, if you recall). Otherwise, we're glad to have some good Thai food instead of burgers, and I'm probably going to sleep early. Until next time,...

Tomorrow night I'm taking down the computers to get them ready to be packed on Wednesday. We've been pretty busy cleaning and packing, so I don't think I'll make another entry before we leave. At this point, we plan to leave Vancouver on Friday, and we'll travel to my parent's house in Louisiana, not far from New Orleans, making a few stops along the way...
