i’ve gone and done it this time. here i am in barcelona. no spanish speaking moi. i haven’t updated the site for the last month because i’ve been so completely overwhelmed by the move and the new job. i’ve been staying in a hotel. i’m getting a rash.

the good news is that my hunt for housing seems to be coming to an end. i signed a lease on a new flat last friday. now i just have to pack up my suitcases and move over there. i am hoping that will be tomorrow or the next day.

the new flat is amazing. fully furnished. beautiful. i will post some pics soon.

the city is fab. the weather is gorgeous. i never realized how miserable i was in london until i arrived here. i can’t believe that i lived there for a year. sucking up the bad vibes, the horrible weather, and the exorbitant prices. don’t get me wrong. i met a lot of great people and had a lot of great times there. i just really don’t think that i could manage to get myself back there with a smile on my face.

i miss my friends in londres, however. chilly milt moved back to nyc on my birthday. arlie is sitting on her couch trying to call me during ti2 commercial breaks. and all the other folks - colin, helen, mansoory, benster, adam, stuey masterson, dylan. blah blah blah. you know who you are.

my birthday came and went without a hitch. went out with dylan who came into town for the weekend. got drunk. ate tacos. slept in. watched vertical limito and spartacus. ate pizza hut. no one said that birthdays got more exciting when you get older. but i had good company and i guess that is all you can ask for.

that is all for now. i will post pics as soon as i figure out where the hell my compact flash reader is.
