it is finished. i have decided on a place. it is conveniently located on napoleon avenue and is currently home to 2 lovely ladies and their wascally dog olivia. it's a pretty nice pad that has been completely renovated. i will have my own room and bathroom and the house itself is fairly large so theres lots of room. elby and olivia (henceforth recognized as o-town) have a very nice backyard to share that is surrounded by privacy fencing and even comes equipped with a fire pit.
im pretty stoked to move into this place and am anxious to come back and retrieve my belongings. it still hasn't set in that i will seriously be leaving athens and will seriously be living in new orleans this time next week but seriously...for serious. in the middle of that sentence my new roomy eileen called me so as of right .... NOW ... it is official. they have been notified and graciously accepted so thats that.
i guess for a while until im more familiar with the city ill just give you and myself some around the town tips for what i have experienced and liked/disliked.
today for instance i dined at Theo's for lunch. It's a transmettish type restaurant for you athenians and for everyone else its a slightly higher brow pizza joint. better beer and wine selections, excellent sandwiches and specialty pizzas and other italian faves. my meal was 7 bucks for a really good sour dough veggie sandwich and hawaiian punch. i later added a blue moon draft to the tally which upped it another 4 bucks. not exactly athens prices but not that bad. all in all pretty good.
currently im eating at the delachaise which is a wine/tapas bar. im having the roasted red pepper bruschetta which has a smoky flavor very similar to hummus but with sweet red peppers and a spicy kick. i guess it has chick peas in it. they serve it with a plate full of veggies and fruit. i have a glass of sauvingon blanc with it. i chose this blanc from the others b/c it has the same name as the street ill be living on...Prieur. Both are actually pretty damn tasty. This meal is decidely more expensive than my sandwich, but im in the mood for rewards.
also of note this restaurant is here and theos is here. Both fall within the earthlink "feather" wireless bubble. so, thus far, i have enjoyed wireless internet basically everywhere i have been. i like.
well im going to return to my meal and start staring back at all the people looking at me typing furiously.
