And the move is almost complete!

I'm back, and everything is all good. For the most part. I could write pages about what has happened during the move, but I'll just play the bullet points game.

• Our last night in New York was great; we hung out with Kelly and Maggie and had great cheap Indian food and alcohol. Can't argue with that.
  


• The movers who loaded our truck up in New York were fantastic. Nothing broke on the way down, and there was some minor damage, but nothing more than you'd expect from a move.
  


• A car ran into us on the drive down, right after we hit gridlock traffic and a horrible rain storm. The idiot was in the breakdown lane after his lane ended and just kept going, so he side swiped us. Luckily we had the truck insurance and his car was nicely damaged. He was a prick though.
  


• Our move-in was delayed a day, but overall that went well. We got moved in and are now mostly unpacked. We had help from glorious friends (Chris, Sonya, Andre, Erin, and Saul), who all hate us now. Especially when tell them that we may have to get rid of the humongous desk that took four people to move out of my old place and into the new one.
  


• The apartment is great. They left a washer and dryer in there (we're supposed to rent those for fifty bucks a month but we're just not tellin'), and the extra bedroom is great. One main issue, but luckily it's mostly covered, is that the people who painted the walls were morons. They didn't cover the carpet, so all along the entire wall is a slight coating of paint (they obviously just rushed through spray painting the apt). But besides that and the weird sloping all over the apartment, it's a significant improvement over the other one.
  


• Now it's back to work like normal, sort of, although it's difficult to get into it. I will.
  

I'm sure I'll have more things I've forgotten that I'll write about, but that's enough for now. Gotta work.
