2000 ping pong balls in weightlessness is completely awesome. What I really want to see is that dude's flip video.
10/10/10 is my sister's birthday.
I know everyone in my neighborhood, but that's only two people. Hee. So if any of you want to move out, there are lots for sale for about $19,000.
I like my current neighborhood too. I'm walking distance from three libraries, my comic book store, my bank, Safeway, CVS, and various eateries on College and Piedmont, not to mention two BART stations and a Trader Joe's if I'm a little more ambitious. But "walking distance" can also mean "short drive."
Google has a sweet John Lennon logo too.
Might have to head out there for Halloween this year and see all their Harry Potter themed houses.
I was thinking of doing that myself. Too bad the new movie is not out yet; they'll still be on HP6.
I really liked my immediate neighbors at my last apartment (friendly and quiet), but the neighborhood around us was a slum.
For that whole neighborhood community thing I think I'd have to go back to the subdivision my folks and I lived in from 1979-1991. Lots of friends next door, carpooling, kids gathering at the local liability risktrampoline, block parties and so forth.
I've never lived anywhere that I even knew my neighbors, after I moved away from home to go to college. I know my current next-door neighbor, but if this weren't a duplex I'm not sure I'd ever have met her.
Also, what the suicide risk is about.
Extreme despair over not being able to fuck in public? Sort of a diamond-condom-too-tight problem, IMO.
I don't know any of my neighbors here. The loud upstairs neighbors just moved out. My sense of community comes from the dojo.
My old neighborhood in Alameda was wonderful. Great mix of young families and original homeowners.
