While waiting the 1,000 years for parts of the tour movie ("When?" Very soon.) to render on my computer last night I was farting around on Google Maps. Most of our tour stops can be seen on Street View. Probably not the best thing to do, since I spent upwards of two hours "wandering the streets" of these places (the good news is my long-term memory isn't as shot as I thought) and now I'm all antsy again about getting out of the house.

...which is something I have no choice in anyway, since I'm moving in September and as of yet do not have a place to live. It's quite exhilirating, eh? If I can't find an apartment in 2½ weeks, I am F'ed. Actually, it's kind of stressful, but there are a few promising leads to follow up on today. Rent around these parts is much too ridiculous.

As readers of our little bloggy blog know, our friend Jules (aka The Mixtress) was very recently diagnosed with leukemia. She's made it through treatments alright so far, but the rub is that even with health insurance she currently owes something in the neighborhood of $30,000. There are two ways you can help Julesy out.
