[Atlanta - 3 PM - Wednesday - Eleven January Twenty-O-Six]
I finally have permanent digs in Atlanta!
<--(Not my actual house!)Well, permanent till I return to London ...
I live on Piedmont Way near Ansley Mall (how delightfully gay!).
In a bizarre twist of it's-a-small-world-after-all-innit?, I already know my housemate and I have even been in this house before!
Follow along now: My new housemate is Martin ... who I already know through a former acquaintance named 'Johnny Rock' (I am in his old room). I have been to houseparties here before. Johnny is also friends with Rodney, with whom I lived (along with Ashley) in Chambodia.
What more, I am only three houses and around the corner from David's garage, where I stayed after my 'crash landing' back into America. I am also back on my regular bus route to The Fox.
Most shocking, I suppose, is that I'm living with a *CAT*.
[*screams like a little bitch & then sneezes*]
I am back on Zyrtec, which is over $80 per month in America (no NHS here, babe!). It seems to have done the trick though. Luckily, I am getting Zyrtec for only $50 per month and a few free samples here and there. Compare that to the £3.65 (about $7.00) it costs me per month in England!
Anyway, my housemate Martin is über-sweet, helpful and easy-going. He's also gone a lot. Martin is a trolley-dolly for Delta. Hurrah! Can you say 'Buddy Pass to London' ?!?
:-)
I am sure that will more than make up for life with a cat ...
Martin is not a vegetarian but seems to eat more soya than I do! He's spiritual and a Kabalah student (pre-dating the trend, as it were).
His incantations of Hebrew with a Southern accent *do* amuse me ...
[*smile*]
Rent here is higher than I'd aimed for and I had a tough time choosing between this place and a downtown condo on Highland Avenue at Freedom Parkway (sorry, Alex & David!) but life here is undeniably comfortable and familiar.
And that's the news ...
Kol HaKavod!
Yours with bunnyfeets,
Richard of London
