Just finished a plate of spaghetti cooked by roomie. We have to dig around to find everything now because we FINALLY moved into the new apt. they put us in temporarily and thank Darwin it's only temporary because the new apt. is about half the size of the old one so everything's very cluttered. The kitchen is teeny. especially the fridge. Our usual routine is to buy a lot of groceries at the beginning of the month, I just hope we can fit everything in there so food doesn't spoil or anything. Also it's too cramped to have people over so when i get together w/ friends I will have to go out or go to their place. At least we got everything done in time but we are both exhausted. i didn't even bother getting dressed or taking a shower because it hurts too much when i stand up.
On to nicer subjects:
Night before last I did my volunteer work at the Oakland east bat gay men's chorus concert, mostly tending bar. The concert was so fun! they did lots of terrific songs, and one of my best friends was even Frank N. Furter (he sang "Sweet Transvestite") and he brought down the house!
The rap party yesterday was amazing! It was held at the house of the same guys in the chorus who had it last year, they have a gorgeous swimming pool and a hot tub w/ a built in sound system and they hired masseurs and we drank and ate wonderful food and had great, fun conversations and lots of laughs. I asked one of the hosts if he and his boyfriend would adopt me. (hehe) it may be a stereotype but it's an accurate one, gay guys KNOW how to party.

moving back should be easier because i have less stuff and more time to move it in, plus the elevator will probably not be unavailable for five days like it was this time.
The concert was great!

Sounds like a cool party!

Hope you get moved back to your place quickly. I'm with you, I need room!

it was an AMAZING party!
we will be stuck here for about two months. I wouldn't mind it if the place were bigger.

I'm sure this is old news to you (haven't kept up with my flist on LJ of late)

thanks, but i haven't had cable for 7 months since they jacked up their rates to $150 a month (and that's without movie packages, internet or phone services)

What is amazing is that even your usual place isn't very big, although thanks to you and roomie doing a great job of keeping things under control it's livable. In the moment I'm packing as well, except for me this is the return trip so after that no more moving for a Long Time.

See you soon (except I now have to find out whether Lufthansa is serious about striking, and if so when).

I hadn't heard anything about a possible strike. If there is one, can you get a flight for me on another airline?

I'm a bit on tenterhooks about this. In Germany strikes are very rare, so often they're just threatened, and I my best transatlantic flight ever was directly after a long Air France strike - no one had wanted to risk them, so the flight was half empty! Since the news is very, very recent (like, two days ago) I am waiting a little bit.

Also, it appears overseas flights will be protected, so it could still make sense to book Lufthansa across the pond and choose a different means of transport (car/train) within Europe. Our distances aren't so big.
