Well, I just listed twenty items on eBay with many more to come this week. Lots of furniture and the such will go on Craigslist, too. In case you haven’t heard, I’m moving to San Francisco at the end of the month. As part of the move, I’ve decided to sell nearly everything I own. I’m basically keeping a couple laptops, some photo equipment, the Wii, some clothes, and some mementos along with a few “necessities” that just make more sense to ship than to re-buy.

If you’re interested in any of my stuff, then please let me know! There’s lots and lots and lots of stuff for sale. If you can picture something in a house, e.g., a bookcase, a sofa, a desk, a TV, etc., then I likely have it for sale!

I was originally writing on the bus from DC to NYC, but then, the wireless cut out. Now, I’m on the bus to Boston after a pit stop in NYC where I ate some falafel and just sat around for a while.

I’ve noticed the buses getting progressively fuller on each trip (except for the trip down to DC for some reason). Megabus must be really marketing the heck out of this. I did notice an ad on the Q train today.

DC is currently not the best place to be. It’s hot and humid, and for the last couple days, it’s been very rainy. As a result, I decided to make yesterday a day of museums and beer, sandwiching visits to the Air and Space Museum and the National Portrait Gallery/Smithsonian American Art Museum in between refueling at The Brickskeller and Capitol City Brewery.

Philly was unexpectedly nicer than I remembered, and there have been a lot of changes since I was last there. I did do the touristy thing and saw the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, etc. I also stuffed myself full of burger and fries at Five Guys and went to Monk’s Cafe.

I finally arrived last night after three flights (two of which with loud babies nearby; one of whom actually pooped himself during the beverage service stinking up the whole plane), had a night of rest, and am now up to tackle the monstrous pile of crap that’s piled up over the last month. I was a little horrified by the pile of mail awaiting me, much of it seemingly important. Then, there are all my money-making schemes and other assorted matters to attend to.

The last couple days of my trip were spent in and around Paris, mostly wandering around. I of course made sure I went to Berthillon again for more ice cream and also spent a day at Versailles, which is just massive. I’d never realized how big it was until I saw it in person
