What downtown Indianapolis is like

So, I find myself in Indianapolis. ("This is not my beautiful house!")

I've lived here for five days, and it's definitely interesting. I've never had the chance to live and work in a big city before, and I love it! Work is pretty awesome, too.

( Here's my likes and dislikes in detail. )

Anyway, that's life in the big city right now. I've managed to get a lot of things unpacked in the new apartment, though there's much still left to do. But I need more shelf space and more drawer space before I can unpack my books, DVDs, CDs, and clothes. I want a futon, too, for use as a TV-watching sofa or by guests to sleep on. And there are more blinds and things to be mounted; Alex is coming over tomorrow after work; we'll see what we can accomplish.

• Fri, 10:10: Argh! Argh, and double argh! My stupid smartphone just quit working. Even a factory reset won't bring it back to life.
• Fri, 10:10: It's under extended warranty...but the paperwork for it is buried in a box somewhere from my move.
• Fri, 10:14: On the bright side, at least I hadn't paid for my next month of service yet. I'd been thinking about hopping providers anyway.
• Fri, 10:15: Not so bright side: until I get another paycheck in a couple weeks, I don't have money to switch.
• Fri, 10:16: But on the gripping hand, at least I don't have to worry about keeping my old number. I should go ahead and get an Indy cell number anyway.
• Fri, 10:22: So I guess I'll let my old service lapse and not worry about porting the number. Then get the new phone when I can.
• Fri, 10:24: Then when I find the warranty docs for my phone, I can get it warranty-replaced then sell the new one on eBay or something.
