my organization started renting a house for volunteers and i moved in too. the house is gorgeous and clean and breezy and light and i float through it with gusto. i am so delighted. sure, i am giving up some privacy to live 24/7 with volunteers, but come on, look:
this is my new secret garden
look how much fun!
the house is in a very tranquil neighborhood where instead of waking up to roosters i wake up to some other kind of bird, but i'm sure it's a more refined bird, since this area is fancier. also, we can see the brand new skyscraper called "the future tower" from our backyard. the future tower lights up at night just like philly's cira center. it is quite pretty. the future tower unfortunately emanates muzak during some evening hours. however, the next-door neighbors have a very elaborate fountain/waterfall system in their backyard which provides the soothing sound of moving water.
the most important part of the move is my new location relative to a special landmark. today i went to get a lighter and on my way back chatted up the guardian there. his name is ruben. they were having a party with diplomats and i asked him to invite me next time. he laughed but i was serious. i told him i can be the diplomat of a tiny, ethnically ambiguous country so no one will doubt my presence in such an esteemed hall. i bet christmas will be a big deal there.
