i've declared myself an eagles fan

i love it here more and more. i got an apartment in the city yesterday and have the bulk of moving into it behind me. it's just a ten minute walk from work around some restaurants and bars and a hardware store. i can't say how good it feels to be there. work is going well and i'm settling in. tom waits has a great new album. we've got a birthday party coming up. what could make life better? someone did try to get me down by smashing a window on my car, but it didn't work and i just laughed it off. some people will do anything to get ahead. it's starting to get cold here, but only in small steps so it feels good, so far that is. last week we had the rest of the hurricane come through and anyone who was walking around the city, with or without umbrella got completely soaked through. that included me. everybody was running around kind of half-smiling because it was pretty ridiculous. everybody in their suits just dripping from head to toe. this girl said to me as we waited for a light to change that we might as well go play in the fountain. this is a great city.
