april showers

sidebar of the people

Moving mathematics is based on more than simply floorspace. Our previous 730 sq ft contained our posessions more compactly than our current 850 sq ft. Even subtracting out the 100 sq ft given to the new baby's room, our storage should come out comparable. But it isn't floor space that matters, its wall space and closet space. In that respect, our new place loses, having 1/3 the closet space and less than half the wall space of our previous digs.

Thank goodness we have basement space, which is currently housing 15 plastic bins of books, clothing, athletic good as well as two baker's racks worth of junk. Not to mention the inordinate amount of periodicals, paperbacks, and old clothing I have thrown out or donated in the last few weeks.

The larger, more open rooms of the new place came with a price. And that price is measured in trips up and down the stairs.

Cheers!

April Showers may bring May Flowers, but May Showers will bring Flood Watches in Effect for All of Massachusetts. Or thereabouts.

Makes me for not having homeowner flooded basement worries.

Still, rain never seems to be a "cure" for drought conditions, its like it doesn't really count unless it's snow runoff.

In other news, I did a loveblender edition this weekend. I'm not happy with myself that it's constantly about a week later than it should be.

Oh and for the locals.... I thought I'd throw out a plug for "The Barn", the shoestore referenced in this old kisrael ("It's just east of West Newton." "Err, isn't that just... Newton?") Good selection, helpful salesguys, I think good prices...it's regarded as kind of a local gem so I thought I'd help spread the word. I had a pair of "Bass" shoes that were totally destroyed, I think during the trip to NYC, so that you could see the metal frame inside if you lifted the inner sole. My foot was hurting for days after wearing them.

Making the rounds (last seen at miller's LJ), I get the feeling other people might find this six minute history of dance (from Elvis to "Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture") more amusing than I did. Still it was pretty cool.
