I’ve spent the weekend back at home, and had a great time!  At first, I didn’t tell anyone I was visiting home, because I had so many plans and no free time, and didn’t want to say, “I’m coming home, but won’t see you” to anyone.  I feel a little guilty about that but really, I didn’t have time!  On Friday, my mom picked me up and, although she tried to keep it a secret, she had a secret Indian food feast in the trunk.  I smelled the garlic naan... more

Hi Everyone! It is Fall now and things are getting really busy!  My mom came to visit me last weekend.  We had a great time, and packed as much fall fun is as we could.  We did some shopping, cooked some scallop chowder, baked some pumpkin pies, and visited a flower farm/pumpkin patch!  I enjoyed showing my mom around my new home and most of all just enjoyed being with her, hanging out at home at night, etc.  I hope she had as much fun as I did!  Here are some pictures… School... more

As I noted earlier all of my buddies got together and went camping for the weekend to celebrate the final days as a bachelor for our good friend Mike.  Dave, Lao, Bret, and I showed up early thursday evening and held down the camp awaiting the arrival of others on friday.  In total we had eleven friends hanging out around the fire and enjoying a great time outdoors together.   I dont believe any of us had been camping in a long time.  Some of our tents and equipment should be viewed... more

Internet is finally up and running for us  Comcast wasnt much help other than being sure to charge us $75 for a monkey to screw is a few cables, plug things in, and turn it on.  I could have done that myself for free.  Ive got lots of cable orgazization to do.  Im always picky about them being bundled and neat.  The neighbors were lucky enough in my laziness to recieve free wireless temporarily until this morning when I secured it.  Im considering being nice and just leaving it open in spite... more

  We finally have internet!!  What a PAIN it was to have to trek to the apartment’s office everyday to use their slow and always-breaking wireless.  Although there were some problems with getting the internet up and running (which I’m sure Nik will post about after he’s down from his initial high of Spore-playing), it’s working now and it’s great!  So convenient… Today was a pretty busy day.  There were those internet issues and then we went to check out... more

A quick post to share my excitement for fall.  My wonderful mom sent me a fall care package yesterday, chock full of fall decorations, including pumpkin-scented candles and an autumn cookbook (and tons more).  I’m so excited.  I went to the grocery store to pick up all the ingredients to make pumpkin soup tomorrow night, and Nik’s even agreed to taste it!  (He has backup hot dogs, just in case). We attempted fondue for the first time last night, and are extremely proud of ourselves. ... more

I’ve written a lot of posts in my head, both during my week home and since we’ve been back here in Davis.  When I was home, I was too busy with fun to want to sit down and post, and in Davis, I don’t have internet except for the time I want to spend in the apartment Club House using their slow and oft-breaking wireless (in which case, I’m frustrated trying to send out work- and school-related e-mails, looking into LCSW licensure, trying to save web pages I need to print onto my desktop so... more

So…Nik and I spent the past few days moving in.  The drive up wasn’t bad…actually, it was sort of fun.  I played games with myself such as, “How many miles can I go without having to alter my cruise control?” and “Can Nik and I match our cruise controls EXACTLY, leaving neither of us having to brake?”  I found some good radio stations, I watched tomatoes fall off of tomato trucks, I saw some baby cows, and I talked to Mark and my mom with my Jawbone. ... more

Katie and I just got back into L.A. tonight.  Without internet up there im terribly bored and since comcast wont be coming out till the end of September the boredom might last another two weeks.  The majority of our move is complete and we now return home to tie up lose ends and pick up the dog.  All the furniture is purchased and we are only waiting on its delivery which may not be until the end of October for the couch.  Had I known they would take so long id have made that purchase much further... more
