Portland Or Bust
When we found out that we got the apartment in Portland, we were both very excited. But today I learned that we are moving in earlier than expected: tomorrow. It's just two days, but it's two very exciting days.
Tomorrow morning I'll be renting a U-Haul, and we will be working hard to make our way to our apartment in time to pick up the keys, pay our first month's rent, and all of that fun stuff. I should put "fun" in quotes. The moving process itself is never that fun, but luckily our belongings have been pared down so much that, if everything works out in my favor, they will not even fill the smallest available U-Haul truck.
We spent a fun New Year's weekend in Portland, tooling around the city and doing things like buying socks. The entire time, I wore my 12' Doctor Who-style scarf. The people of Portland are fascinating, though. They don't care if my scarf is longer than a TrailBlazer is tall: all they cared about was my moustache and my bowtie.
Oh Portland, your astute hirsute appreciation woos me. But do not think that your clever complements will keep me from my goal: Amsterdam, or bust.
