Hello Cupertino

Sorry for the hiatus. Moving down here has been a pretty all-consuming process, but in summary:

1) Eli did a great job driving the U-Haul (and thanks to all who pitched in with helping us unload)
2) I'm over my food poisoning
3) Miracle of miracles, the Ikea furniture survived with minimal scarring

We're mostly settled into our apartment in Cupertino. The apartment is great: it's much bigger and nicer than our old place, with higher ceilings and a charming little patio. The walls are a cheery yellow, the A/C is fresh, and the digital cable is glorious (how did we survive for so long without it??!?). It's peaceful at night and I no longer have to watch out for that singing crackhead on 3rd and Harrison or those B&T's stumbling out of Club NV (wait, am I a B&T now?). Our commutes have been cut down to a third of what they used to be, so I now have more time to iron my shirts in the morning and attend to personal hygiene obligations--always a plus, especially for people who sit near me at work.

Most of you already know this... even though I tried really hard not to, I bought the same car as Eli. Yes, I did get a different color. No, it would not be very original of you to leave a "his 'n' hers" joke in the comments.

I believe I was the person who first made the "his 'n' hers" joke and I still stand by it. It's a good one. Success!

As a side note, the cars are currently parked right next to each other.

I'd like to compliment your great use of links in this post -- kudos!

Oh, and also, I won't make a "his 'n hers" joke. Instead I'll make one about the cupterino chapter of the scion lovers' club.
