So my new place isn't perfect but one of my least favorite things about it is that I don't have a closet. That really wouldn't bother me too too much but I have these two huge suitcase and nowhere to put them. That sucks.
But my favorite thing so far is the heater in the bathroom. It's one of those old school ones with the coils that get red and heats the bathroom up in like a min, it's brilliant.
So since I got here my food intake has been less than adequate. I have eaten a home made sandwich for every meal except for lunch yesterday when I had that tasty french restaurant experience, it's called La Note and I had a very good salad, and on Monday night I have a Lean Cuisine Pizza which by the way is pretty much just bread and not very good. So tomorrow I'm gonna go grocery shopping, after my interview that is. I would go today but its raining out and just not a very pretty day to be walking around. So I'm staying in tonight, maybe watching me a little movie and working on some work.
Oh, and i'm still waiting on my sheets, i hope they come in tomorrow.

3 1/2
It's been four days now. Well, three and a half if you want to be specific.
I've been sleeping in a sleeping bag for that time on a mattress with no sheets. It gets cold as fuck in here at night. My room doesn't have any furniture so I use my one empty suitcase as a night table and the other as my dresser to store my tee-shirts and unmentionables. My computer is sitting on my new printer's empty box that I bought yesterday. I carried an all-in-one (why does that have dashes? doesn't "all in one" mean the same thing? Anyway) printer/scanner/copier from downtown San Francisco to my house in North Berkeley. I have no hangers to hang my clothes on but I guess I don't have a closet to hang them in anyway. My room probably isn't much bigger than two of the mattresses that i'm now cross legged on breaking my back working on the computer.
While those things do kinda suck, it doesn't really matter. I've managed to go to SF twice already, walked amongst the people and the streets which I love. The BART took me to SF which well, let's face it, is a subway. I love subways. And i've managed to visit downtown Berkeley twice where I ran across what must be the only two goth people of Berkeley both days. I saw the same two people two days in a row, what are the odds? I've also already found a good french restaurant, several dry cleaners, a gentle cuts that for $12 is totally worth the price(yes i've gotten my hair cut "professionally" for the first time in over a decade), the 510 skate shop, the nearest grocery store, the local theatre, copy central, walgreens, radioshack, the local hang out for skateboarders (which i will be not be joining as I cannot and never could do a 180 manual on a ledge), and the Berkeley downtown police station if I'm ever chased by nasty fellows.
I like this town. I'm actually really glad that I moved to the East Bay area. Sure I could be in San Francisco in the thick of all but I feel like I can still do that, just on my time, not all the time.
So in the meantime i'll keep complaining about my back because i have to sit cross legged on my mattress with my computer on a box. I'll keep wishing I had more space and for the love a closet to store my shit in and maybe not a little shorter walk to the train station. But in the end all of that doesn't matter. I'm having a great time here so far. I have nothing to complain about, well, maybe except for the fact that I wish my friends were here.
