I signed a lease today. Movin' to Beantown. Does this mean Ted Kennedy is my senator now? I asked William what I am to Ted Kennedy if he's my senator, he said "absolutely nothing."
The downside of all of this is that we don't get to move into our apartment until September 1st and we're getting there in the middle of August, which means two weeks of vagabond days in Boston. If anyone has any Boston connections who might welcome three independent, fast-showering women into their home for two weeks, let me know.

Posted by: JosiahQ at August 2, 2005 9:14 PMLinnea, good to see you found my blog again. Pass the word on that it is back in operation so that people know to check it. And good luck in settling in to Boston. Sounds exciting. When do you want me to give you your Crooked Fingers CD back. You should give me a mailing address.
Posted by: Todd Willison at August 2, 2005 10:26 PMLinnea...I need your address, too. I mislaid the one you gave me, and I have a very loney "Brothers Karamazov" pining away for you on my shelves. If I don't hurry and send it back, it might make friends with the "War and Peace," "Gulag Archipelego," "Fathers and Sons," "Crime and Punishment," and other various Russian authors sitting in my closet. :)
Posted by: funkefreak at August 2, 2005 11:25 PMWhy do you need to get to Boston so early? You should tour the country (or at least Chattanooga) until you can get into your apartment.
Posted by: funkefreak at August 2, 2005 11:27 PMI meant to spell "lonely" with two l's.
And I meant to say "Russian titles" rather than "Russian authors," since obviously if I had a bunch of dead Russians on my bookshelves, my closet would not be so pleasant...
woah, that would be an interesting closet, though. Touring the country would be great, but I don't have the money. I suppose that could just be a part of the adventure . . .

Posted by: Carrie at August 3, 2005 8:44 AMi've already got plane tickets to see you guys over labor day, so hopefully you'll be moved in by then!! if not i guess i could help you.
Posted by: anna k. at August 3, 2005 9:17 AMOooh...another ex-Covenant student moving to New England. Good thing too, I need people to keep me company in this impending BostonBlogs thing.
BTW - I am of the opinion that Boston is one of the coolest cities I've ever visited. Tends to be a bit run-down in parts, but the main city is just awesome. I was just down there this past Saturday and I think I'd really enjoy living there someday.
Posted by: steele at August 3, 2005 12:23 PMOh, Steele, are you going to be on Bostonblogs? That's great, I really wanted to move over there, but I didn't want to be all by myself on the little Bostonblogs site.
Posted by: linnea at August 3, 2005 8:32 PMYeah, Josiah had mentioned it to me before I left Chattanooga. I was apprehensive of course...didn't want to be the only one on there. But hey, if you're coming over we can just keep each other company, right? If I can ever convince Zach that he really does want to move up here that would be three...
