life stuff
As you may recall: I was living in Davis California; a recent graduate and broke. How broke, do you ask? I’d lost 40lbs because I couldn’t afford more than 2 meals a day. Granted, I _needed_ to lose the weight, but...
Well, I found myself a job. It’s not in politics, but I will no longer have to steal my roommate’s peanut butter as sustenance. Anyone who wants to tell me that minimum wage doesn’t need to go up is free to tell me so. But I digress. I’ve also moved from San Francisco to Davis...
The move was fraught with peril 
. We had a pair of sickouts, and my father isn’t exactly in his top physical form anymore. The hour and a half wait for U-Haul to send a repair crew didn’t help matters all that much. Nonetheless, when I hit SF, I had a full crew...
In some respects, the move wasn’t very far 
. I went from commuting between California and Davis, to commuting to California and Davis.

. It’s 18 floors up in the financial district, and the view is phenomenal! If only my camera phone were of higher quality...
Oh, and you have have heard rumors about me and a certain woman? Well... things seem to be going fairly well. Also, First SLA paycheck on Thursday, expect more regular blogging then...
