I’m moving! And I’ve just now realized that this column is more than a year old! And yes, that’s factoring in the weeks I’ve missed. I seriously cannot believe it’s been a full year since I started this thing. And, did I mention I’m moving? I’m pretty excited about that. Cheaper rent, bigger apartment, more roommates, nicer area, longer drive… the benefits outweigh the cons. I’m a fan of moving. I know that sounds crazy but I just have such a deep-seated fear of commitment that it feels good every time to slough off the memories and emotions that hang around living spaces, not to mention getting rid of a lot of shit I don’t need.
Yet here I am, further committing myself to doing this column as long as I possibly can, assuming Destroy The Brain puts up with me for much longer.
