from here to there & everywhere & back to Union Square

Hopeful news! I went into work yesterday to find a message from my manager about my transfer. I've got to make a call (after 2:30 today) so everybody cross your fingers, light a candle, sacrifice a virgin, whatever it is you do- let's all focus & become one point of light- Union Square, Union Square.

And after checking out the website today it is more obvious to me than ever that U.S. is where I need to be. Why, you may ask? Because of September 12. Yup. September 12. That's when Candace Bushnell will be appearing at the store. Candace Bushnell, author. Writer of... Sex & The City. It's Serendipitous!! You know, like that movie with John Cusack & Kate Beckinsale that Crazyhedwin hates- or the restaurant that my mom's friend went to in NYC that had amazing desserts. See how it all comes back to NYC? Funny, no? poor Eddo, his new nickname is apparently going to stick. Apparently, he's become my favorite person to pick on- first I try to talk him into letting me pimp him out to make extra money for my move (completely IGNORED btw, but fortunately my dad came through. ...which is not to say that I'm pimping my dad out to make extra money for the move, let it be understood.) then i send him months old news items to try & convince him to grab his loved ones and make the move from myspace to the oh so cool & trendy, cute boy filled, tribe.net. Not to mention the night I was having a lovely geekfest with Celso RE: Buffy when they were trying to go to sleep. Although he did say that I was like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail, so he deserves a little payback, yeah?

Tomorrow I'm off! And I'm going to be boxing up my shit. I still don't know if I'll be able to take all the books that I want. I think I'll just box up the Must Haves and if anything, the rest can come up eventually. No. No, I should just worry about the Must Haves and not the other stuff. Although every time I look at the stack, it's like- Wait, I *have* to bring up my Hellboy books! Must not leave behind the Kurosawa biography! So by the time I leave on Saturday, the Other books will all have wormed their way into the Must Haves.

In other news- tiny bit of cute boy interaction occured this weekend. Vague & random cute boy interaction. Honestly, I think he has me mistaken for Billy Crudup. Only time will tell. Perhaps I am coming out of my Garboesque "i vant to be alone" period? I must! I mean, I'm going to NYC where, according to Lily, "Ass is falling out of the sky!" Ok I'm blushing, so now's the time to say goodbye. My last Sunday night at the Kendall B&N. Hallelujah.
