I've been packing, and today my plan is to get the keys from Osvelia and make a couple of sets. Then I can start moving stuff over, emptying out the boxes, and bringing them back to load up again.

I like to name inanimate objects -- my car, my bike, my dwellings -- and I was leaning toward casita embrujada when I saw "Movin' On Up," a collection of Beijing housing development names in the March 2004 Harpers. Greg and I both like European Culture Park, Glamour International, Glory Vogue, and Latte Town. Minority Live, Wonderful Digital Jungle and Yuppie International Garden also have their charms. But to us the winner, and name of our new casita, is Moderate Shangri-La.
