... because I'm movin' on up. Yes, the summer is over, and all I have to show for it is a new apartment with very little furniture. In the picture, you can see everything I brought along--some boxes and other junk, and my life-size Mexican therapy doll (wow was that hard to explain to the doorman).
So anyway, the new apartment is in the Condesa, not too too far from the other place, and is huge and has great views from every room, and also two balconies. I can walk out of the building and be at any of 20-30 bars/restaurants. Just across the street I even have a Krispy Kreme if I want it. It's close to the park, and so the dogs are making doggy-friends. They also have their own room, bathroom, and covered patio. I should've named one of them Riley, because they sure are living the life.
In other news, I was just on vacation for about a month. Lots of sofa time, family, friends, and HGTV. That about sums it up.
I've also now returned to work, which is not bad all considered. Oh, and I had a birthday. And my local Soriana grocery store has an imported foods aisle, and I'm really enjoying Wasabi peas from Thailand, even though they are "produced in a facility that uses milk, peanuts, seeds, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and soybeans." I can't imagine what they use them for...fuel? lunch? pay?

Philosophical questions beyond D-O-G...
Things in the big city are rolling along. I'm just working and doing what I do. The school year is almost over, and I am r.e.a.d.y. for a vacation. I spend a lot of time on the roof of my apartment building, for reasons mentioned in other posts. Plus it always seems I'm cleaning up or serving food or similar activities also related to the reasons mentioned in other posts. I did see a cool old Dodge truck the other day, and had the presence of mind to snap a picture. I wonder if the tags are current?
I've also taken up a bit of roof gardening. I found some planters abandoned by a former resident, and just added water! Voila! These strange flowers came up. Well, first the not-strange leaves came up, and then these definately strange flowers appeared, seemingly overnight. Are they spider lilies? Are they spider something? I also bought some seeds at the grocery store and stuck them in some other abandoned pots, added water, and waited to see what happened. And guess what? They also came up, but I don't really remember what they are. Some are sunflowers, for sure. The others look like weeds. Well, they may be weeds coming up in the pots, strangling the poor little anonymous seeds I bought. Who knows? If I post pictures, will anyone be able to identify them?
Which makes me think...if I post pictures on a blog that no one reads, are they really there? I'm going to go think on that.
