Week Three
Feb. 12th, 2007 03:02 pmWeek Three of the New York Expatriation.
Carson City is beautiful. I can step out of the house, look west, and see the Sierra Nevadas. Look east and I see the start of the High Desert. I will be enjoying the work I'm doing for a public access station soon, and once they start paying me a living fulltime wage, and I move into my own place (either an RV or an apartment) then I'll be feeling like I'm truly home.
I'm having a hard time adjusting to the high altitude here, but that'll happen in time. My eye is much better; the Muro ointment the doctor prescribed is working great and it's not too expensive.
I just finished re-reading The Player Of Games by Ian M. Banks. If you've never read any of his Culture books, start with Excession then read this one, then go on maybe to Consider Phlebas.. It puts a lot of things into better perspective. Player of Games is fascinating but there are some disturbing scenes in it... well, one disturbing scene, and it makes for such a sharp contrast that the rest is thrown into a different light.
The network here is a little flaky but it's holding up mostly. So I can at the very least get online. If nothing else, I can still get e-mail. I'm still sorta settling in but it's getting better and the house situation is stabilizing. The cats here are by now well used to me.
More later, as my head slows from it's continuing spinning. Pax.
