it'll look nice for the new house. which is where i went today to do some cleaning, after having brunch with my mother and sister at zoe's gourmet chinese cuisine (289 beacon street somerville), just down the street from my house. on weekends they have special chinese brunch items. i had the five spice beef noodle soup ($6), which in retrospect wasn't the best thing to eat on a warm day, because it was spicy and i was sweating during the whole meal. my mother and sister weren't too enthralled with the food, openly making comments about how bad it was in the restaurant. i on the otherhand found it good enough, i'll probably come back another weekend for the "five spice beef sou-bing" ($3) which they were sold out of. my fortune cookie said, "you never hestitate to tackle the most difficult problems."
my mother and sister helped me clean as well, sister did the walls around the kitchen, my mother worked on degreasing the range and oven, and i vacuumed the bedrooms and the windowsills. manny stopped by to visit and see the new place, 
later my sister got my aunt and she came by to help clean the fridge. having all these people in my house made me feel antsy for some reason, and i wanted to leave. it just feels weird to have people more excited about my house, doing more work on it than i am. 
that should be me, god knows i have plenty of free time to do that now. we left before 4pm, where there was going to be a block party on my street. i wanted to maybe come back just to meet my neighbors, but when i got back to belmont, i got in bed, flipped on the baseball game, and fell asleep again, just like yesterday. i woke up totally confused as to what day and time it was. i thought it was monday morning!
i have a new favorite song, "a little less conversation" by elvis presley, from the ocean's eleven soundtrack. i grabbed a copy through limewire, since audiogalaxy seems to be all but dead.
tomorrow i have to go back to my old office to pick up my stuff. wonder how that's going to go? that will probably be the least pleasant thing i have to do all week. the rest of the week, even though i have nothing scheduled, i'm going to really enjoy myself, kind of abandon myself to all sorts of wild and exotic pleasures. anything i can think of i will end up doing. unemployment is financial insecurity but it's also unbridled freedom.
