Fuckin’ Movin’ Blues


– or – Using Periods to Differentiate Our Nation’s Capital from Skaterwear Generally speaking, I like to write Washington, DC just like that. Those periods always seem so stuffy and technically incorrect, since you don’t abbreviate Ohio O.H. or California C.A. I also prefer the comma over Washington DC, but, then, I’m a bit of…
This is why we don’t plan our travel too far in advance. We are simply not a planning people. We tried to plan on saving money in Sevilla for the summer, so we could do our crazy spending in November and December, but (as you might recall from my previous post) that worked out for approximately…
What happened was this. We had Bonnie Raitt tickets for San Diego and planned to spend a few days soaking up good tunes and Vitamin D, while partaking of the perfecto teas at The Tea Pavilion in Balboa Park. Then, Turkish Airlines went crazy let’s-break-into-the-U.S.-market fire sale, offered ridiculous roundtrip prices, and I was given…
Here we are with this title that sounds so stereotypical, but, with Fringe and the Military Tattoo taking place while we were in Edinburgh, was actually quite literal. There were bagpipes. Many. Also hills. Those too were most literal. And some serious ass-busters. Anyway Edinburgh… my haggis, what can I say? A smallish sort of city with organic restaurants and an organic grocery…

I’m sorry people suck, but welcome back to the East Coast.
Are you seriously moving to Allentown? I live in Allentown. No fuckin way. Too weird. Well we can have a mini VS convention..lmao
I cracked up when I read Allentown. I swear it’s a west coast move east coast thing. Two years ago when I was moving from Portland, OR I moved to Bethlehem (just east of Allentown) because it was the most affordable place I could find.
I then moved out here to Chicago.
Not anything against the area… just, I missed being in a city.
My suggestion for going to the city would be either to bus it (about $20 and two hours) or to drive to Harrison, NJ and take the PATH in. Gross, but well… it is Harrison. 🙂
Good luck in A-town. It is less smoggy, at least.
