My first post from England (shameful: I got here 2 months ago) and it's to say I'm leaving. Decided to move in with Virginia in Paris; now I'm plotting logistics. She'll be out late Tuesday night, we'll go up Wednesday to stay with Julia and Angus in Gloucester, return to London on Sunday, stay the night so that she can get out early in the morning (she'll take a small bag of our stuff with her). Then I'll go back up to stay with J & A for the week, take half of my things over to Paris on the weekend, return on Sunday in time to meet up with my old friend Richard in London Monday and/or Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Then I'll retrieve the rest of my stuff from Gloucester or Reading (wherever it happens to be) and head over to Paris later in the week.
At least, I hope that's how it'll work ;-). Planned events often take unexpected twist. But really, all should be okay--the biggest trouble, I think, is transporting my belongings, which seem to have grown since I came over. Damn.
Nobody here but us servantless American writers...

Dude, you're Heroes analysis is way off. And London? Paris? You never talk to me anymore. :(

Yeah, I'm in Paris for at least a few years now, though possibly V and I will come out to Portland for a few months in the summers (if we're both working on PhDs, or if whatever work I'm doing allows it, and also if we can afford...).
I'd ask why my Heroes analysis is way off, but since I haven't seen past the first episode of season 2 yet, I'll wait in case something happens in subsequent episodes. ;-)
Yep, London and Paris. I'm afraid I haven't been in much contact with anybody of late, especially since moving. I didn't have in-home internet while in the UK, and I only just got over here to France last week (two weeks of moving back and forth and staying with friends). But probably the chief reason is that I'm bad at staying in touch, & I'm sorry for that. I'll try to do better. How're things with both of you in PDX? (Actually, maybe I should send this to you in an email.)
