Indianapolis
I'm at the Warren Township branch of the Indianapolis/Marion County Public Library. I'm not technically supposed to be online right now, because I'm impersonating Lisa. You have to put your library card number into the computer to logon, and I don't have a card because I don't have an address.
Yet. I'm supposed to be finishing the paperwork and moving into my own place by Tuesday. It's a mile from Lisa's, at 38th and Mithoeffer. For those not from Indy but familiar with the area, it's near where I70 and I465 meet on the east side. It's a 1-bedroom place that I'm getting for 2 months, and they're not jacking up the prices because of the short term lease -- only $299 a month, which is a hell of a deal. I'm excited. They're remodeling it now, so I'll have new carpet and maybe appliances too. Sweet.
I'm quasi-employed, more on that prolly another time, after I actually start working somewhere. I think I've been hired by 3 different places, but I won't start any of them for 6 or 7 more days.
I miss the Internet. There was a znig-worthy techies thread that I mostly missed (though I started it, I think) because I wasn't online. I feel left out. : (
I talked to Marissa Klebs last night. She's in Indy for the summer, too. Lisa and I are supposed to hang out with her unless she goes home for the weekend. I'm excited.
Caitlin is also in Indy, I got to hang out with her last weekend. It was very unexpected and surprising, in several ways.... ask me for the full story if you're curious. It's a good one.
I'm really enjoying the city of Indianapolis. It has a "big but small" feeling that reminds me of Boise.... it's not so huge that it's intimidating or dangerous-feeling, like Chicago, but at the same time there is some culture and life and fun to be found (not like Rensselaer). I'm learning my way around the city, and what roads go where and stuff.... I could see myself staying here long-term. We'll see what happens after AmeriCorps, I guess.
Sprint is dumb. My phone has been flaky for a month, and even my account is apparently screwed up. 2 days ago their website told me that I had used 506 anytime minutes, so I was over my quota of 500. Today it's telling me (in the same billing cycle) that I've used 389 minutes. Stupid Sprint. On the upside, though, I have AIM always logged in on my phone (Please! IM me!!), and I have my SJC email auto-forwarded to my phone, too. It's annoying to send messages, but I can receive them. S'all good.
I guess that's all for now.... you get online time here in 1 hour blocks, and mine's almost up. I mostly just wanted to post something so people would know I'm not dead or anything. So... I'm not dead. Peace.
