Helium links of ghost collars & dying shirts.

Where did the days go? I've been so busy house hunting I didn't realize what date it already is. Almost the end of the month and oh yes..I did find a nice house. A couple of trade offs but the place is pretty spot on to what I wanted/hoped. 
So what now? Now I get back to the my rustic city and start packing, for I move by the first week of next month. 

I write this amidst throngs of impatient travelers and a little too loud calm voice on speaker phone talking about ticket checks and departures..REPEATEDLY! 
The Internet in my hotel room had been sucking so hard that connecting to Vpn was almost a rarity. Like I'd expect the sun to rise from the West a lot sooner than a good Vpn connection. 

Talking about sun rising from the west (I'm looking at you Danerys) I had so much nothing to do last last night that I ended up watching the new GoT episode from season 6..of the book that's not been released yet..and what on earth was going on? 
The whole story seemed so muddled up. I mean they are on a completely different track with the characters and how they're interacting with other characters that I was so confused I stopped bothering with trying to actually figure it out. 
Not just that..there are some characters in the tv series that do not exist in the book, then some who are in a different timeline in the book, some who are presently at different locations in the book and a different one in the Tv series. 
So yeah, after trying to figure out I just gave up and watched the series and almost laughed at the Dothraki tents cuz they looked posher, prettier and lacier than a wedding gazebo..I mean aren't those guys barbarians? 
The sets are pretty good and I can imagine the charm, but there's something totally synthetic about it, or maybe it's just me. Off Late I find everything synthetic. 

So anywhichways, here I am..homeward bound. A home that I shall leave behind in dusty pages of musty history of my book..and look forward to a new life in another city. 
I don't know how I really feel about this. I loved my small Chinese town. 
I shall now proceed to pack my life in boxes with neat labels. Stack, load and transport those boxed puzzle pieces and proceed to put them back together again in another city amidst newer walls. Sigh.
