BUNNYSPLASH: Lake Erie Shocker!


[Atlanta - Wet but not flooded like most of the UK!]


In the 1950 Warner Brothers cartoon WHAT'S UP, DOC?, Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny perform a vaudeville act in which Elmer asks Bugs how the state of Ohio is different from the others. When Bugs has no answer, Elmer offers the punch line:

“Because it’s high in the middle and round on both ends: O-Hi-O!”

Well, there you go.

Or there *I* go, as it were ...

I am moving to Lake Erie!

Surprising, eh?

My mate Ray made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Ray in Ohio'

Yes, I am still returning to England for good but I've had enough of the 13th Colony. My perception that Atlanta is a lovely part of my past that should have stayed in the past persists.

Perhaps moving to Lake Erie is a slightly radical change but it feels as if I've been sat here festering since my UK trip last September.

After all, it's just a new adventure ... and life is short!

Hopefully this bit of change will 'set me free' in a sense and end the cycle of inaction, thus enabling me to 'get on with it' and get back to my life in London.

WORKING HARD. LIVING CHEAPLY. SAVING MONEY.

I already have a job in Akron and things look good for finding a second one. I will be saving money and fattening up the UK Fund ... whilst trimming down my bunnylicious voluptuousness.

My move will take place Labor (Labour!) Day Weekend.

Given that I haven't properly updated my blog in nearly a year, I had an absolute plethora of items on a list to comment on ... only now I can't be arsed! These included my successful but short stint on Prozac ... my absolutely genuine gratitude to Androo in London, Ben Ben Bender Bunny & Hoogie for being there for me [online!] ... my Muji bunny from Bryan ... Gabe & I having an Xmas Day vegetarian challenge ... "finding Jesus" at Rick's Xmas party ... good tips at The Fox Theatre on New Year's Eve & at the Atlanta Gay Pride dance party (which turned the Egyptian Ballroom into a veritable Backstreet for one night) ... surprising my mum with an Elvis musical ... London's smoking ban ... various parties and nights out ... my ever-growing mass of "bunny stuff" ...

You'll just have to ask!

Gotta dash.

Loads of things to do ... pack up my things, plot a massive eBay sale, get a new drivers license so I can help drive back to Ohio, plan a going-away party ... just to name a few!

More soon.

I mean it!
