If almost all my belongings are packed, why is there still so much stuff everywhere?

Jul 06, 2005 18:38

I'm on what I expect to be the final box. This will make five heavy cardboard containers I have to ship this Saturday, and it's a very good thing my neighbor offered to drive me to the post office-- I don't know when the Board would get around to it (or if I'd even want to deal with what asking them for a hand would entail), and I don't see myself ( Read more... )

Where will you be living in the states, then? I take it not Tallahassee?

I haven't picked out an exact city yet (I want to be at least a little flexible for the sake of job-hunting), but my criteria are 1) a cold, very preferably coastal area, 2) excellent public transportation so that I don't have to give up my pedestrianism, 3) a large and diverse population (which goes almost hand-in-hand with 2, I'm finding), and 4) a healthy number of libraries and museums. Tallahassee, which I researched to pacify my parents, failed on every point. NYC and Boston are currently winning, though I wouldn't object to living in Toronto if my employers were willing to provide me with a visa.

Dude, Toronto? Yuck. You want some northish West Coast, yes you do. We gotcher San Francisco, your Seattle, ohshallIsay Vancouver? You want cold winters or summers?

I've never been to the West Coast, see, but I've been to New York, Massachusetts (which always looks misspelled to me), and southeastern Canada, so I have some personal experience to go for those areas. I've looked at Seattle at bit, though, since I have a soft spot for cold, rainy weather.

Cold summers and cold winters! But if it must be hot during the summer, I want it to be so as briefly and with as little humidity as possible.

But Toronto is AWESOME. Way awesomer than NYC.

I've heard good things about Toronto, and I liked the part I went through when I was a kid (I also liked the speed limit signs until my father explained kilometers to me). And I have a couple JET pals who are moving back there (well, techincally to a suburb of it), so I'd know people. That's always cool.

But the summers are humid and yuck.

Toronto is teh suck compared to NYC. Sorry, but I felt the argument had to escalate in proportion.
