New York Update

My move to New York is in full effect! I haven't purchased my plane ticket yet but I will most likely be flying out in early October. I've also been able to reconnect with some old friends in the area so the transition is looking better and better.

When I hear "New York," I think about the movie New York Minute, which makes me think about the Olsen twins, which makes me think about lesbian pirates

Of course, things would be boring if everything happened according to plan and so my brother's current landlord was kind enough to spice things up by setting a new move out deadline: the end of September. Fortunately my brother's roommate talked the landlord into pushing the move out date to the end of October. And here I was thinking that moving to a new city with no job lined up was going to be exciting enough. Nope. Now I get to help search for a new apartment from thousands of miles away.

Thanks again for everyone's continued support. I'm going to hoard it all up and store it for later because I hear it gets a little nippy in NYC during winter time and I might need some extra padding.

I have a couple new movie reviews up for 3:10 to Yuma and Shoot 'Em Up. Check them out if you haven't seen them or, if you have, read them again for the first time. I also have a new post up on The Athlete's Footnotes about this past week in football.

Take care everyone and keep on keeping on.

Awesome! Sounds like the plan is coming together. How is the job search going?

Congratulations on the move! I have no NYC advice (other than stopping by the UCB Theatre for a cheap night of comedy), but you're taking the first step, which is more than I'll ever do

I'll prefer to think of you as Macaulay Culkin, lost in New York while your parents are off vacationing elsewhere. Hopefully, you can become best buddies with Tim Curry and a homeless woman. If so, you'll be set for life.

I'm rooting for ya! And I heard it gets very nippy in the winter.

Good luck Matt. I hope you find fame and fortune. But mostly fortune-- I think that's more useful.

sarah - eh, it's going. My brother is trying to help me out, but there's a fair chance I'll be jobless when I arrive in NY.

mike - Thanks! I'll have to check out that theater and I'm sure you'd be taking these same steps if you were as desperate as I am.

fletch - Ahhhhhhhhhh!

april - Thanks. Fortunately I am very nipply.

sqt - I totally agree. If I have a fortune I can buy all the fame I want.
