I may not ever get around to writing up those beers, it looks like.

But I did find a new place--in fact, I've been there for three weeks! And it really was the most incredible thing--I'd had my heart set on a fairy-princess upper unit with a tower and balcony, but the day I was told I didn't get it was the day before I was scheduled to move all my things out of the old place. So, I melted down for a bit and then hopped back on craigslist to see what I could find. Luckily, I stumbled across a huge one-bedroom that happened to be offered by the same property management company I'd worked with for Ballard, so I set up an appointment for later that afternoon (Wednesday, 7/15). I walked through the place, filled out an application on the spot, and signed my lease the next morning (Thursday, 7/16), after which... I moved in. It was about the fastest turnaround I've ever heard of.

And I love the place! It's gorgeous, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a breakfast nook--giant bay windows in the bedroom and living room--so far, everything's going well except for the minor trouble of the gigantic road construction happening literally outside my bedroom, which wakes me up at 7am. Every day except Sunday.

So that's my quick update--I'm currently in the Honda dealership waiting for my wheel bearing to get fixed (despite what my friends thought, I was NOT making up the noises my car was making, AND I correctly diagnosed the problem!) and for two new tires to go on the Civic. She'll be all ready for winter this year if it kills me.

Upcoming events: The Who's Tommy at the Augusta Barn Theatre, co-starring one of my friends and choirmates from high school; hopefully getting internet access at the new place....
