i am an unrequited astronomer, pretend patient, gentle adventurer, pedal enthusiast, recovering calligrapher, occasional thespian and unfinished poet living in portland, oregon. contacting me via email is usually a good idea.
i called my dad to tell him i was moving and to ask some of the questions i have. vickie asked if that meant she could call michael my significant other now and i was surprised there was ever a question about it. it's too bad they never saw me here, though i'm not really surprised. anyway, i have a wildly adequate plan b if i go to portland and can't find money any other way: my dad can get me a job as a carquest parts driver. hee. :)
so far today i've been figuring expenses: what will i pay off (working assets cc), what do i have left on the car ($17,350), how much can i sock away before i leave (not enough)? i hope i get money back on taxes this year. but trixie is really my biggest concern. gosh. who knew i'd feel this way about a car?
also, i'm looking for used bookstores & places to sell used cds, not so much to get any money, but just to reduce the amount of stuff i have to move. last night i thought i could probably sell the newton, but is there any other way to sell a newton other than through ebay?
oh, and i figured out how to use ^x^y history substitution today, which was a pain in the ass because search engines ignore special characters. :P hooray for man pages!
