Ever since coming back to the Bay Area, I have…
visited the Berkeley Rose Garden for the first time (with Jack and Lily)
partially unpacked my boxes and luggage (a mess of band-aids, papers and books is still downstairs)
rediscovered the ring I lost over and over again I originally got in Pittsburgh, wearing it on my left middle finger
had multiple doctor appointments
realized that I have a fantastic memory for remembering all these appointments
ate ribs at Evervett Jones with Lulu
will get a Southwest Rapid Rewards ticket soon!
rented a car for the first time and also felt embarrassed about not knowing how the process worked (the lady at the counter was speaking so fast!)
played with a GPS device included with the rental for the first time–better than the one Ben has…
speaking of which, I caught up with the other Ben, Benjamin Bunny, after being out of touch for almost two years
met E finally in PERSON after being delayed and delayed in true California fashionably late style
met up with Shinelun, Mr. Shiny, again
actually let SHINELUN swipe the bill. tsk tsk
seen E terrorize Shinelun for eating sour oranges despite a \”perceived reluctance\”
have seen Shinelun not flinch to such attacks–he is a strong boy
enjoyed the suburbia of LA county…to a certain extent
did not experience traffic!!!
found fantastic tea places and cupcakes in Claremont
bought gas at $3.17/gallon thanks to the NeverLost GPS system…woo!
received multiple e-mails for phone interviews — some for positions I want, some not, some in bad locations, some in great locations
nearly all-day on-site interview — it was incredibly not stressful, but I wonder if it was because I had taken a Dayquil…
bought a $3 strawberry buttercream cupcake in Claremont which I ate in a record 2 minutes
chatted up with some guys on the LaRoche campaign and told them honestly that I was not interested in their cause, gave them $5 and they sang me a song
stole wireless broadband from Starbucks
nagged by parents, but hey that\’s \”home\”
and…. a job interview?
oh yeah, i got sleepy toward the end of my list. i am getting to a point of my blogging career where i start wondering how much i should share.
welcome back!
