Our apartment was surprisingly quiet yesterday, so Chris and I took the opportunity to stay home and play GTA in peace. I can’t seem to muster much interest in actually doing any missions, but running around and killing people is enough to entertain me for a while, at least. I also watched a few episodes of the Film School maraton on IFC, more because it’s all set at NYU than because I have any particular interest in student filmmakers. I miss NYU a lot.

This morning we were planning on going out to the IKEA in New Jersey to look for a new couch and a pair of new desks (among other things), but after doing laundry and making breakfast we just weren’t up for it anymore. So I’ve been working on a freelance project and reading, and Chris has been playing GTA and napping. It’s been a very relaxed weekend, but it’s the first chance we’ve had to relax in weeks so we’re not complaining. Next weekend we may get out to IKEA, but either way we have to start packing after that, so we won’t have any more lazy weekends until after the move.

We’re still really looking forward to the move. It’s fun picking out new furniture and planning things out, and in a way it feels like now we’ll really be living together. Although I’ve been here for nearly a year, I still sometimes think of this apartment as Chris’s place, as though I’ll have to go back to Brooklyn eventually. But the new apartment is our place. We picked it out together, signed the lease together, and we get to furnish and decorate it together. Yeah, it’s a little sappy. I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m not really sorry at all.
