California Update

So my roommate just called me a ho, and I was kinda forced to agree (by het standards, anyway, I’ve had a slutty week). But that’s another story.

The day after I got out here, our dsl froze hard. Behind the absentee third roommate’s locked door. Disconnecting and reconnecting the phone wiring (plugged in at the kitchen) didn’t so much help. Sucko. I’ve been patching network connectivity through mooching off of the student computer labs, and hanging out at friend’s places, speaking of which, much thanks to and , both of whom also helped me feed my wc3 hunger, as well as my net needs =)

Looked at much housing. Some of the places look pretty cool, but I’m incredibly reluctant to commit while jobless. Especially to a year long lease. But for my would be roomies, time is running out, as the student deluge will soon begin, and they are strongly bound to Berkeley campus. Argh.

Time to get cracking on those temp job applications. No really, time to get cracking. No really, motherfucker, time to get cracking on those applications.

Where oh where did my motivation go?

Met cool guys. Feeling like I just naturally slid in socially out here, and I have seen only one of the guys I know from irc in person, he’s the one leaving for portland soon. He’s a cool guy, and we could have done fun stuff together, like bike all over the place, and climb, and visit the beach and photograph the tide, or whatever. But rent is steep, and it’s all too easy to be food in the bay area.

Speaking of food, I have sampled many good restaurants out here, at least 3 of which were specifically vegan. Bay area r0x0rs my world. And the trains. Bart, how I love thee, let me count the ways. Also, this place is crawling with cmu alums.

Okay, yeah. That’s it for now. Whee.

Job hunt, must remember job hunt. [Applied for like 3 or 4 things already, including natural grocery store cashier w/benefits, and tech god in martinez for the county govt.]

Stream of consciousness is fun. But this time, later, I mean it, really.

Good night.
