Congrats on finding a place, megan!
Well, I'm glad the friend thing worked out because the other places I looked at in the city were tiny!
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vornado, yes!
I love my Tempurpedic pillow, not least of all because it's a pillow of that form factor or nothing for me. Normal pillows give me about half an hour before back or neck pain.
Well, over and above what I have right now, I guess.

I'm still trying to figure out how we went from our 800 sq/ft in Berkeley, where we were able to fit/store everything, to our 1100 sq/ft here (with another bedroom and more closet space) and still have so much stuff we don't have room for. All I can figure is that a square foot must be bigger on the West Coast.

Speaking of dog-nappings, I read an article somewhere (Tribune, maybe?) this week that talked about an increase in lap-dog snatchings, especially the full-bred variety. Not just dogs being taken out of back yards, but petstores being broken into and valuable puppies stolen!!

Megan, isn't this exciting?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn. I read about the bus shooting in Chicago last night, but at that point there was no info about the death.
ION, the DMV at 5401 N. Elston is my my favoritest DMV evah. They open at 8:30 most mornings, so if you show up at 8:30 there's already a line. But if you show up at 9:00, the line has worked its way through the system and there's now no wait at at.
Yes, a DMV with no waiting. Freaky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Megan, isn't this exciting?
Yes. Athough still a bit scary. After my first day of apt hunting and the office, I had quite the "WTF have I gotten myself into?" moment. Now that I have a place to live, I'm feeling much better about the whole thing. Still, it's hard to think that in one month I'll be on a different coast doing a different job.

It sounds great!!! I have good friends who live near West Portal...although I'm not sure if that is their neighborhood proper. They're near City College. Anyway, I hear it's an up-and-coming neighborhood.

Yeah, that's just over the hill. That's where I was staying with my friends while I was apt searching.

I guess you'll have to come and see for yourself!
