Week One in the new apartment.

So this has been an eventful couple of weeks full of many firsts:

-- Moving into my own apartment
-- Selling something on Craigslist
-- Cliff House at 6 in the morning to watch the waves
-- Finding the fuse box and turning the lights back on
-- Unclogging a toilet
-- Tegan & Sara concert at Zellerbach Hall
-- "Fondue" by candlelight
-- Early morning run by Dolores Park

And just plain fun stuff:

-- Perfect green tea & finding my keys at the Irish pub
-- Dinner at Bissap Baobob & crazy dance party at Bruno's
-- Coffee & shopping with Sara in the Haight
-- Gabriela, Clove & Cinnamon
-- Apartment decorating spree: Pier One, Target, the Container Store...
-- Olafur Eliasson exhibit

Things that I'm happy thinking about:

-- **Buying the ticket to Cambodia**
-- Building my apartment platform
-- Finding/taking motorcycle lessons
-- Picking up more library books from on-hold
-- Buying fun Christmas presents
-- Organizing my closet
-- Getting a coffee pot

Guess I'm behind already

Any new firsts in the last few days?

All pretty lame and small. I need to be a little more conscious about this project if I'm actually going to get anything out of it.

-- apple brined a turkey
-- asked someone to coffee that I was afraid to ask
-- read The Dogs of Babel

Up at 1AM on Monday night

Things, they are a changin'.

I really should not be up this late, and yet here I am. I got a lot of good stuff done today.

For the rest of this year (41 days to be exact), I will do one new, exciting "first" each day. Here's a start from today in chronological order:

-- Round I of the HPV vaccine
-- Bought myself a really really nice digicam
-- May have found an apartment!
-- Attending a kickboxing class at work
-- Wrote a blogpost in this blog


I have so much energy, and I'm so sleepy at the same time. Can't wait for turkey-day and for the chance to dump out everything that's on my mind into some to-do lists.
