harried but happy

Wow, so in one week I found a new apartment, signed the paperwork, and moved in. Oh did I mention that I also got an exam date for a job I applied to? Things always seem to happen in bursts, which is what happened here. Well, I'm all moved into my room now. The kitchen is pretty much complete and the living room is just missing a TV and a sofa (which we bought last night so really on the TV.) I love having my own room although it's taking a little getting used to. It's funny because I've had to think about furniture and room set up so much that I was reminded of that scene in Fight Club when Edward Norton walks through his apartment that looks like it came out of a catalogue. It hit me especially when I went to IKEA yesterday. I had to laugh a little thinking of the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof that they were made by the honest, hardworking people of...wherever. Anyway, all this business with moving hasn't afforded any time (or money) to go try new restaurants. However, I did buy a bottle of Fetzer Cabrenet Sauvignon the other day to try. It's not as good as the ones I've had (the La Massa) but it's a decent everyday table wine. Dark red in appearance, medium bodied, simple and not overly complicated. It's light on the tongue, crisp and dry. Well that's all the time I've had to be adventurous lately. Hopefully more to come.
