Moot Thoughts & Musings

We have to find a new place to live. It's a little daunting. I wish I could just walk down the street and miraculously bump into the right place (in the perfect location) and for the right price. But I don't think it's going to happen. The perfect time to move is over the holiday break, but that means we need to be looking and finding the place now...right...at the end of the semester. :-P

And then, we have this thing about really wanting to stay in Orleans Parish. Neither of us can stomach the idea of moving out to the 'burbs. If one is going to live down here in the Delta, it's not worth it unless one is living in the coolest city in the Delta, New Orleans. (And by "cool" here I don't mean temperature--it's certainly not that--rather higher potential for poetry.) But maybe a big toe's distance from the parish line will be satisfactory; it certainly would mean cheaper insurance.

I never thought I would be living this far south. The extremes down here are startling. Take Louisiana, for instance. You have New Orleans, the developed suburbia past its prime, and the country. The country this far south scares me a little bit...too many unknowns. I've seen more bugs in the city that I've never seen before in my life. Who knows what's out there in the country? *shudder*

But I digress. For the most part I like living in Louisiana. Still feels like terra incognita in many respects...especially when one has to find a new home.
