NEW APARTMENT!!!

*stomp stomp stomp* so we have new stomping grounds now, a little ways across the city, in a better neighborhood. also i got a job! well, internship, really, and unpaid, but it will be great experience - i am two days in right now and i've learned a ton of stuff already.

new apartment, new job... and we bought a new mattress! it's been an expensive month. i need to get another job, though, to pay for the gas i burn on my HALF-HOUR COMMUTE to my internship. yuck.

thus is life.

"The primroses were over." - Watership Down, by Richard Adams

And because a) that was something of a let-down, and b) it feels lke a betrayal to do otherwise, I will include the first lines from the other books on my short stack.

"It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened." - The Giver, by Lois Lowry

"It was little more than three miles from the Wall to the Old Kingdom, but that was enough." - Sabriel, by Garth Nix

"It was a dumb thing to do but it wasn't that dumb." - Sunshine, by Robin McKinley

ETA: I would have Good Omens in here too, but someone stole my book and I can't remember the line off the top of my head. Looking at you, Lauren...

ETA2: Shoot, I forgot Tuck Everlasting too. Don't have a copy of that one either... I should fix this. It is clearly a problem.
