I have moved to Illinois. Despite having little to nothing to do with my time — a job has yet to be offered to me — this is the first I’ve touched this site since before I left Virginia. A kind of a torpor has settled over me that has nothing to do with the weather, though we’re covered in a layer of very hibernation-worthy snow at the moment. My time has been frittered away with trips to the grocery store and bouts of Chibi-Robo and Puzzle Quest. I think, perhaps, I wanted some sense of accomplishment to offset my lack of success in the job hunt.

Or maybe I’m just lazy?

So, Chicago’s pretty all right so far. My exploration has thus far been focused on the areas of the city I can reach by foot, so that’s basically a two mile radius of our apartment. I’m thrilled to be able to take care of almost everything I might need without getting into my car.

I think I’m going to like it here.
