Editor's note: For the purpose of this blog post, I'm pretending it's the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Yesterday, I walked out the back door of my new apartment building and into a parade. My building is smack dab in the middle of gay heaven. When I say that, I mean that it's in the center of a slew of gay bars, gay sandwich shops, and gays. My roommate and I were trying to get our internet set up at our house, and instead, we decided to get some greasy fast food a block away. Instead, we found thousands of people walking down the road, complete with signs and golden retrievers:
This is where I live now!
It's pretty exciting that I moved out of my parents' house for the second time and into a major city. I live about six blocks from the state capitol, and it hit me the other day that I've never really lived in a big city. I find this strange, since I really love cities, and since I've visited quite a few. But to live in the heart of the city is really different than living in a suburb... Toto can attest to this, since he's still not really sure what to do when he hears cars rushing past my window or when he has to pee on the sidewalk.

...and your little dog, too
For some reason, every post-college grad goes through a phase where they want a dog really desperately.
I have no idea if that's really true. But it sure rings true for a lot of my friends, and it definitely rings true for me.
Getting a puppy at this point in my life is pretty impractical. As my mom is constantly reminding me, I can't even take care of myself. I don't know what's in store for my future, I'm living with my parents for another month and a half, I don't know how to cook anything more complicated than ramen... yada yada yada.
So guess where this is going.
