Ottawa?

I didn't go to the St. Lawrence Antiques Market today, mainly because I'm still working my way through the past two weeks worth of vinyl hauls. I also wanted to sleep in a bit today.

I've been giving some thought to moving back to Ottawa, and will be possibly going there for a mini-vacation in a couple of weeks. Just to feel out the market. Truth is, I don't think I'm going to find work in Toronto with the way things are going. Plus, all of my friends are really in Ottawa. The one thing that is holding me back from just dropping stakes and moving back is the whole bilingualism thing, which could prohibit me from getting a job there. However, I might be happier there. There's tons of bike trails, my friends and vibrant poetry scene happening there. I might be able to go back into freelancing. I have some contacts in the media scene in Ottawa. I also just generally have more contacts there than I have here. I feel anonymous in Toronto, which was what I was looking for when I moved here initially, but I know people and businesses in Ottawa. So it's starting to make sense to move back there.

We'll see how it goes, I guess, in a couple of weeks.
