About travelling and moving

I've recently spent some time off flying back home and moving to a new place in Seattle-- Main reason I haven't uploaded much in the last month and a half, sorry for the inactivity.

Travelling back home (Argentina) was an experience, it had been two years and a half since I had flown there and it was great going to my best friend's wedding and meeting people I hadn't seen in a long time. It's also always a really weird feeling, some things change but also many remain intact and it feels like one's moved and gone everywhere and those things got stuck in time with no change whatsoever. They're just a few things I won't name, but that was the general feeling. Oh yes, I brought some Fernet Branca which is surprisingly cheaper down there compared to the states -- turns out since it's the country that consumes it the most, they've got their own 'fernet factory'.

On the other hand, before leaving I had left my place in Bellevue, WA in order to move to Seattle (they're 20 minutes away from each other) the day after I was getting back. And even though I don't own many things (or didn't use to, I've been purchasing furniture lately), I can say moving is a pain in the ass. Because I didn't have many things I did the moving myself with some help from some folks, but it was still painful. I've also been buying nice furniture but it's taking time, every single piece I'm purchasing I have to be super sure it'll fit and that I'll like it -- quite different from past times where I just went to Ikea and got everything at once. But that's part of the charm anyways. I'm still thinking whether I made a good choice picking this place up or not, but it's been alright so far.

Oh yeah and I went to see The Offspring last night at the Sabroso Taco Fest in Auburn, WA.

First time seeing one of my fav bands of all times
I've got a sick desk and a nice setup to keep sketching and uploading stuff to the site. I can't wait to get back on it!

Until the next time,
