Money makes things real -- it makes Prada handbags fashionable, iPods cute, and the world's most powerful man out of a Harvard dropout. The point of this is that after shelling out $1000 US in money orders, the stacks of legal forms on my kitchen table tell me that I'm not going to be living in Canada for much longer. I'm moving to New York.



It somehow sounds so much cooler when you're moving from New York to Paris -- curse Carrie Bradshaw for upstaging me with her well-timed season finale.

Reasons for said move:

1. Superior transit. Seriously.
2. I don't feel like I got enough time in at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
3. Let's face it, Americans have a messed up legal system. Messy is fun. Messy makes for good times if you have a strong affninity for household cleansers.
4. Current Globe and Mail headline: "Liberal support remains stagnant, poll finds." Current New York Times headline: "Democrats in the Senate Threat to Block Court Nominees." It's admittedly a slow news day in North America, but even so...
5. The chance to live out the rest of my life in Hawaii.
6. Delivery from zappos.com.

My grandparents are already getting excited about having an excuse to travel. What I'm doing is purely ancilliary.

About me
