I love Rockridge, Nora (although I was in Berkeley). It would be an easy commute to the UCB campus, but be forewarned that there is a hiring freeze there now because of the budget situation.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

yeah, I'm thinking private schools at this point. Our business School is a peer of Hass at Stanford, so I am wondering if it would be possibly to work something out through the grapevine here.

also, heh, Ridgerock, Rockridge- I didn't even realize what I'd done for a while. I knew I *mean* Rockridge.
javachik, awesome article! I really am leaning toward Oakland at this point. It just sounds like a cool, diverse, up and coming, cheaper area. Like Somerville 15-20 years ago (but with more black people).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cool! I can go and take pictures of stuff and break into houses or whatever.

So should I move West too? What's the job market like?
FUCK YES! Ahem. I mean, yes, you should consider it. Of course by West I mean Los Angeles, the Pasadena area is lovely.
As for job market, the heck if I know, but my business has been growing at a pretty good rate for the last 18 months.

Cute Oakland apartments:

I saw my recent cable bill and found out I'd been charged for a service visit. Do they always charge for service visits? The guy was supposed to come between 4 and 6, and he came right at or after 6. I don't know if that gives me fair cause to bitch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You should complain if no one told you there was going to be a charge.
I don't pay Charter to come fix things that are wrong with their cable. I end up arguing a lot.
