I almost forgot that the whole point of this blogging thing is to you know, blog.
The weekend highlights: Domestic errands. Battle of the Bands. Being amused by fave band is gone! (WTF?!) I was too much of a lazy bum to see Sam Prekop's two Mercury Lounge dates (Boo at me). The cat and I laid in the dark trying not to move so we wouldn't pass out from the heat.
I haven't been up to much: obsessing about Trapped In The Closet, trying not to melt in the oven otherwise known as my apartment, loving that I can leave the sweater and scarf at home, masterplanning a summer trip that won't break the bank (I'd love to go to this but the fucking airfare is like $700+! Le sigh.), and breaking the news all over the place that I'm pretty certain that I'll be jumping town to LA once the fall/winter rolls around. It's hit the stage that I'm semi-amused by the jawdrops and "you're joking?" Apparently, I'm the last person they'd expect to leave town. Despite it being *New York City*, it's home and I'm more than ready to fly the nest. I mean, I love this town -- I've had good times here and great experiences, but I'd also like the chance just to restart everything somewhere else to see if I sink or swim. I'd rather go to a new city and totally fail than stay here my whole life and always wonder. Also, this city is definitely not going anywhere and who knows if I'll ever have the chance to be as free to go wherever I want again.
But besides that, I'm just bored with being around here. This town brings out all my base bad habits. I need a change of scenery. Of course, that plan is down the tubes unless I learn how to drive, natch. My biggest challenge is probably saving up money. And I'm not ruling out finding another/better agency job here since I've kicked up my search from halfhearted. I would also say there's the dim possibilty of meeting someone who would make me stay in town, but a) I'm a coldhearted cynic b) I've exhausted my own patience for even caring about crap like that c) I'd probably leave anyway. My cousin is off in LA this summer doing an internship and the plan is to visit and scope out the place. The current plan is a December/January exodus. We'll see how it plays out.
