So Much to Say...

Okay, it's been a while. You probably already know that Trent and Marlowe are in Hali now (yay!) and that we are on our last few days in the Pink Dungeon. Yup--take possession of the new house tomorrow, but we probably won't be 100% moved in until the middle or the end of the week. Already planning a party for January. You can still make it... buy your plane tickets now!
The MA students' program doesn't end until September 7th or something, but of course all their leases are up on August 31st so Trent and I offered up 8 days worth of carpet space. Maybe don't plan on visiting the first week or so of September.
Trent got to meet most of my school friends on Friday. The English department had its potluck Christmas dinner, which was fun. Ran around running errands all day Saturday, because Nova Scotia doesn't allow shopping on Sundays. Malls, supermarkets, furniture shops, clothing stores... all closed on Sunday. Talk about a pain. So basically, whatever errands you don't get done on Saturday, forget about it until next weekend. Not enjoying that so much.
Have been enjoying weird Halifax weather, though. When Trent first got here just over a week ago, it was +17C. Friday night, it started snowing, and yesterday, it was gorgeous--everything covered in mounds of fresh white snow. Finally, I believe it's December. Then today, it got really warm and rained. All day. Of course, the power was out basically all weekend. Out Friday night, back on Saturday morning, out just after midnight Saturday night, and not back on again until 7:30 this evening. Thank god, drug stores are allowed to stay open on Sundays, so we went and got some candles.
Funny thing: Marlowe is afraid of the dark!

Aww, you have your bear with you again. Hope you two marrieds fit in with all the "youths" you're hanging with :)
Oh hell, just wear that see-through white shirt you bought (the one we bought at the store where I was somehow again your butch lover)and you'll fit in everywhere.
