Apartment

There! We did it. Finally found ourselves an apartment. Actually, I spoke too soon, we are still waiting for them to conduct the background check and give us the confirmation before we can start switching over our services and such.

We (hope we) got this cozy little two-story townhouse in downtown San Jose. I am abiding to my friend E's philosophy: Since we are just renting, might as well go for some unique experience. I've never lived in downtown. There's certain draw to that modern, stylelish lifestyle (key cards! tendom parking! pet rent!), walking distance to work, BlockBuster across the street, walking distance to many fine restaurants, a block from the university, and walking distance to performance art theaters etc. Right in the heart of everything.

Having something at the new place to look forward to is definitely helping to lighten to mood of being evicted. It's a nice 8-month experience (when lease end), then perhaps we, like many forefathers before us, will also take the big plunge and buy or own property in the god forsaken Silicon Valley.
