i love living in a neighborhood. with trees & people & shops. i loved walking to the convenience store last night, in the dark, not so worried about hooligans. i also love the food network, and having my own bedroom away from the television. the television, while sometimes a happy drug, can take you to the dark side if you don't have space from it.

this morning i woke up to the sun and to the sound of a lawn mower. there was a breeze through my south window. i listened to norah jones, unpacked, showered. listened to cursive, got dressed. listened to morcheeba, unpacked.

listened. which for me is so much better than watched. i don't know why really. this past year i've definitely watched more than listened, but i'm ready for that to change.

on another note, moving sucks. see next entry.
