I've been sadly slacking on my blog writing. Work's been crazy busy and I've been busy moving and now unpacking, eek - so many things to do! But now life seems to have slowed down to a pace that I can handle.

Last Saturday was moving day. I couldn't have asked for a prettier day - the sun was shining and everyone was in great spirits. I had more than enough help and we were able to make it from Berkeley to Pacifica in one trip. With my truck, Matt's truck, and Amit/Walt/Laquel/Mark&Jenn's cars, we were able to fit everything with room to spare! Here's where I exhude tons of love and gratitude for them - they made that day so stress-free for me. Everyone seemed to be working hard and having a great time (I hope!). At a relaxed pace, we finished everything up in 4 hours and I managed to get quite a bit of unpacking done as everyone hung out afterwards for some TV (they were watching some athletic fitness pageant - don't ask) and playing Halo. Laquel and Walt had to leave soon afterwards but I treated everyone to Malaysian/Thai food. The restaurant wasn't very good, but was within walking distance. The music was horrible - very bad orchestral elevator music, but the company was fun. Good times.

Matt and I cleaned up the apartment afterwards. In about 5 hours (with a lunch break), we managed to get that apartment spic and span which is no easy feat when you have a hairy monster of a dog. I am determined to keep my new place as hair-free as I can and have strategically placed my furniture to help me do so. ManyMany thanks to Matt for helping me *mwahmwahmwah*. Thanks, sweetie. :)

The only thing that sucks about the apartment is the high speed internet - apparently they've run out of space at the SBC DSL center office so I'm SOL in that department until they can increase their bandwith capacity. There's an RV park a few blocks away and I've been using their wireless service (TengoInternet, amusing name) for a fee until I can get my DSL up and running. I can only get service in small bursts and I have to hold my laptop in a certain way to get access to it.

Let's end with a gross note, shall we? Tonsil stones. I get them occassionally and all day Sunday my throat had been irritating me. So like a cat, I had been hacking, trying to clear whatever that was causing the irration. Eventually I cleared them out, in the middle of the farmer's market store nearby my house. Of course, I turn to Matt and showed them to him in the palm of my hand. And folks, the following is evidence that this man was meant for me. He ran to grab me a tissue to put them in and announced that he was going to keep them for later to examine more closely with a toothpick. HAHAHA!!! so friggin gross. Yup, that's my guy. ;)
