 On Monday at noontime, we had Zviah put to sleep. We just found out this weekend that she had cancer, and she must have been sick for a while, though she only appeared to be suffering the last few days. It was an incredibly hard decision to make because we knew how much we would miss her, but I'm sure it was the right one because she's much more comfortable now, chasing bunnies in greener pastures.

so i never update this anymore. I've been really busy! working a ton and trying to explore this new city I'm living in.
Met up with gaurav and michelle a couple of times. good to see ann arbor friends halfway across the world.
we move into our new place on friday! its real nice.
friends: you should come visit sometime! we have an extra bedroom that is cute and you can use it. plane tickets are somewhat expensive but once you get here you dont really spend any money because everything is cheap. very cheap. so come!
lan argentina ( lan.com ) flies out of miami now for super cheap and you can usually get a flight down to miami from jetblue or spirit for cheap!
ok email ( mtopper AT riseup DOT net ) or aim ( GeekPride) or something. |

we have been in buenos aires for almost a week now! its pretty great here although we have only really been taking spanish lessons and looking for apartments. the food is amazing and the wine is cheap as hell (well everything is pretty cheap) the dogs are getting used to it but are pretty scared of all the new smells and noises.
i´ll write more when i have time.
i´m going to try to find some american bar tomorrow so i can watch the michigan ohio state game. hopefully someplace will show it. |

| goodbye dinner + take my apartment? |
[Oct. 16th, 2006|06:30 pm] |
we are having a goodbye dinner for me and eliza this sunday. At eliza's place in bedstuy. you should come out if you live in the area. email me (mtopper AT riseup DOT net ) for directions and all that.
ALSO. if you know anyone that wants to take over my room in my apartment let me know. looking for someone that can move in nov 15th or dec 1st. roommate is awesome. She is a producer for democracy now/cyclist/activist/other things. she is never really home since she works so much so thats a plus as well.
here are pictures of the room and the rest of the apartment all the furniture in the room can stay if the person wants it.
let me know! |

eliza sold some shirts and undies as well and we made friends with this girl named olive who does some AWESOME knitting machine stuff so i'm going to try to stay friends with her and hopefully I can get some tips.

[Jul. 5th, 2006|11:06 am] |
weekend was relaxing. I forgot what I actually did for most of it but yesterday me, andrew and vicki rode our bikes out to the rockaways for some beach time. it was a fun ride. right at the bridge that goes over the bay we ran into my old roommate from boston ethan and a bunch of people all riding to the beach as well. we followed them for a while but eventually parted ways.
I got a flat on the way home, but luckily brought another tube with me.
went over to sarah and thomas's place for fireworks on the roof and then waiting around for eliza to come home from asheville.
today is gross and rainy and I just want to fall back asleep. |
