#179. hhundred

Two weeks into this new job, and the benefits continue. I was bought a free massage (!), steak dinner and, best of all, one of these. OS X so rocks.

I've taken some photos of the view out the window here, and I'll be taking the digital camera home for the weekend, so I'll put some more up next week. We also need to get some disposal camera pics developed before we chuck 'em.

Speaking of home, we finally moved out of the fleapit we were living in and moved somewhere nice. We have to share a bathroom down the hall, but it's clean and fly-less and has cable, which is essential, as I'm too tired to do much else - still getting used to working the whole 9-5 thing.

This place is actually in Chinatown, so there's lots of good, cheap food nearby. The restaurant under our room does a good chow mein for $4, as well as a fried brekkie for under $3, which ain't bad. There are other good places to eat around, although some are a bit too "authentic". For example, I don't know what dog tastes like, but the $1.50 roll I got from a Vietnamese sandwich shop might well have been it.

Anyway, we're close to North Beach, which is the Little Italy part of town. Lots of good pizza (especially the local speciality, clam) as well as great blueberry pie (I've been told). The financial district is close, meaning a 10 minute walk to work, and there's plenty of good bars around - including what may be the best stout in the world (even better than the Porterhouse's famed plain).

The bad man's doing good; still searching for SF's best coffee and playing his new GBA. Jenn has a job (actually two), so everything's fitting into place nicely. Or will once we get paid.

That be it. Hope the new clap lineup works out, guyz.
