I (don't) like to move it

This past Saturday, Ari and I had to move out of our apartment in Brooklyn. This was not something either of us actually really wanted to do; it just happened because I'm moving to Indonesia to teach English at the end of August (and I'm moving back to California next week), and Ari can't afford to pay rent on the place himself (and it's a one bedroom, so the whole finding-another-roommate idea is out).
Packed up the night before moving.
In additional to leaving our really nice apartment, Ari had the bad luck to lose an apartment he thought he'd secured, and was unable to find another place in time. So everything we have has been moved into storage.
Our beautiful storage space. Everything we own in one tiny room!
Ari stands for scale.
Sorry, this has turned into a rather whiny post. I just wanted to document what we've been going through over the past week or two.

The great thing is, July is the time when everyone goes out of town for vacation! So right now we are cat-sitting an adorable cat named Bug at my friend Nick's place, and after that, we've got another friend out of town for four days. It's not ideal, but we'll take it!
Yes, she looks a little evil in this picture. But she is a sweetheart, I assure you (except when she starts licking your face in the middle of the night with her sandpaper tongue...).
