Tuesday morning: Work, moving, etc.

So I'm having a couple of people come by tonight to look at furniture items that I posted on Craigslist and, hopefully, take the stuff off my hands for a few dollars. I realize I'm actually looking forward to downsizing: two bedrooms was fine for when Bunny was here, and it was nice to be able to host Yehuda for a week, but it's way more space than I need. I know from past experience that living in a smallish space doesn't make me depressed, but too much junk does.

I don't have a dating relationship at the moment but I'm meeting up with one or two longtime female friends for lunch/dinner later this week, so the companionship will be nice. (Also crushing on my pretty co-worker, but I don't think she's interested in me.) Mainly, I'm glad to have a steady job that will pay the bills (just barely) and will give me a chance to get something better lined up soon.

So overall I'm pretty upbeat about the direction things are going.

Entertained

And in other news, I am broadening my entertainment horizons. I find I'm starting to develop an interest in manga and anime. I've signed up for Crunchyroll.

You Want It Darker

"Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker (Audio)" (Watch on YouTube)

Yup.

It's definitely Leonard Cohen.

Yup.

Shimon Peres

Shimon Peres has left us.

Shimon Peres, former president, former prime minister, former defense minister, former foreign minister, former minister of eight other ministries, the last surviving member of Israel’s founding fathers, and winner of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize died Wednesday after suffering a stroke two weeks ago. He was 93.
