Things are moving a bit faster now. The weekend that passed I finally managed to conclude all my packing and moved my essentials to my parents house and all the rest (books -lots of them!-, kitchenware -what can I say, I cook- and furniture to storage. My sister had moved a couple of weeks earlier to an Thuseio where she's renting a room.
So yeah, I'm stuck staying with my parents in the suburbs until I finish the last of my business here and leave. My parents have got cranky with age and there's no space and privacy, but it's not for long.
In other news I got a macbook pro! Yay! Since I'm homeless and will be taking advantage of my family for the near future, I couldn't lug a desktop around. I loaned my imac to my sister who had her macbook stolen in the break in and my mother decided to give me a birthday/christmas and whatever present all rolled into one and got me a macbook!
I'm still getting used to the new screen size. Before getting it I spent weeks obsessing over size (wink wink) and if I could be satisfied with 13" or whether 15" would be better, and how I was spoiled with the 20" I was used to. (You know what I mean?) I was so obsessed with size I kept on asking my friends' opinions on the subject. It got so bad that one day over drinks I asked a male friend of mine point blank "How many inches is yours?" without prefacing that I was talking about laptop screens. I assumed he'd understand what I was talking about. He didn't. Which wasn't surprising, especially considering our previous conversation was about gay politics in Greece and our next one was his sex life. Unfortunately he didn't answer my (unintentional) question. No matter. If I really want to know, all I have to do is ask a mutual friend of ours who is the world's biggest gossip and has first hand experience.
Better go to sleep now. I spent all day tracking down official papers, and I'll be spending all day tomorrow trying to get them translated. (Anyone know what a Hague stamp is on official translations?)
