The last station
Okay, the title of this post has a double meaning, so I hope everyone can follow along:
Meaning #1:
A few weeks ago, I saw, “The Last Station”, a movie about the final years of Lev Tolstoy’s life.

I don’t think it’s showing in theaters anymore, but you can eventually get it on Netflix. I enjoyed it, but honestly, it’s probably more of a renter, anyway, even though both leads were nominated for Academy Awards. And of course, к сожалению, it’s in English, not Russian.
Meaning #2:
Heading home from the film, my husband and I couldn’t help but notice that we live at “the last station”. Take a look this map of the Washington subway system:

See the stop on the end of the red line in the upper left-hand corner? That’s where we live. And see that cluster of stops in the center where all the lines intersect? That’s downtown, also known as, where I work. So, if you couldn’t guess by looking, I have quite a hefty commute to my office, not to mention most social outings we attend.
BUT…..thanks to our current landlord for raising our rent, we decided we can afford to move in to “the city”!
So that’s my breaking news: We’re moving!!! (And I just used the movie as an excuse to blog about how excited I am.)
So have a great weekend, everyone, and let me know if you want to help us move!

Hey, Sorry for the so so late reply
I’m not sure when The Last Station was released, but we saw it in the theater earlier this year. It’s likely to only appear in theaters that tend to show independant films.
And by the way, we found a great place to live!! Have an appointment tomorrow to get the details smoothed out, then we’ll (finally!) move in in a few weeks. yay!
