It still hasn't hit completely yet that in two months and some change we will be residents of NYC. It's scary because of the uncertain job market and the slight increase in the cost of living that comes with the move, but its also exciting. It's exciting to have it be just the two of us (and that ne'er do well Mole) and to discover a new city. And not just a new city, but arguably one of the most vibrant, exciting cities in this part of the Horsehead Nebula. I have lived with roommates for the last 7 years, so it's going to be nice to have it just be Siobhan; we both will not have a problem airing our grievances when someone leaves the kitchen a mess or the toilet seat up. I won't need to worry about coming home from work and having a Gerry Egan incident.
We are living in one of the quieter neighborhoods of NYC, but it still has so much more going on than your busiest Pittsburgh neighborhood. It's going to be weird not having a car and walking everywhere, but I think it will be great for our fitness and stress levels. Besides, think of all the amazing pictures we can surreptitiously take of ridiculously outfitted people. Even the food options, which a lot of New York people consider limited are still better than a lot of what you see in Pittsburgh. Being close to Central park will also be cool, at least until those guys from "The Warriors" show up and try to teach us a thing or two.
