It's a long story, but the short of it is that my roommate's bailing on his lease so my girlfriend and I are moving into a place in America's unselfconscious yachting capitol.

Wow. That's unexpected.
Also, you know, it's really strange that you've been in Astoria for a year and are now leaving, but we only hung out once (and in Brooklyn).

Yeah. That is a symptom of how I have been spending most weekends in Connecticut. I'm actually looking on this as a net gain in the life/girlfriend balance, despite moving to... y'know, Connecticut.
But yeah I'm around until the end of the month. We should hang unless you'd take more delight in only doing so in other boroughs or when I don't actually live there (as I'll still be working in the city and ending up around Astoria for at least Indian food).

This is unexpected... but not unwelcome.

How far of a move is that for you? Is it unusual living in a place where states are packed together so tightly? A good friend of mine moved to Rhode Island following our graduation for grad school and it weirded me out that the size of the entire state isn't even the size of a major county over here in WA.

It is about an equivalent commute to the one I have now, but that says more about the absurd location of my work and the terribleness of the CT commuter rail than anything else. It's probably a 40 minute drive (but who does that?).

I drive, on average, 40-45 minutes to work every day. It's as terrible as you make it sound. Without traffic I can make it either way (home to work, work to home) in about 15-20 minutes, but it usually takes me at least 40 minutes (if not longer) to get home.
I came to the realization today that I spend more time driving to and from work each week than I do getting sleep on any given individual night. That was upsetting.

Ick. The last time I was driving to work it was 20 minutes there and 30-40 back (unless I had a wacky schedule like doing 11:00-6:00 in which case it was 20 or 60 in and then 20 back). Now, granted, that was in a death car that I'm pretty sure was causing me to lose fine motor control from all the unchecked carbon monoxide emissions. But still.
I like public transit because it's just reading time, but at the same time the CT metro-north is just miserable.
