back home

I finally made it back to Chico after spending some time in San Jose with my parents. We went to San Francisco on Saturday to celebrate my Aunt's birthday, which turned out nice. I'm always wary of Fishermans Wharf, but we went to a decent restaurant with excellent food. It was fun because I ordered a beer at the table and the waiter actually brought one out! (well, several actually) I wish I would have been able to go out with my sister and cousins to have a night on the town, but I didn't want to risk it, and for good reason - they checked IDs at every club. On Sunday night we had my "welcome home" party - and a party it was! My parents really know how to please a crowd ;) My Uncle and his girlfriend and her daughter came over, as well as both Sheryl and Sarah and her boyfriend and all her roommates (there are several). We had a great time playing bocce ball, bolo toss, and ping pong all whilst consuming margaritas and Sierra Nevada in honor of Chico. I really do enjoy my family. I just can't wait to spend the next week with them up at our cabin!

Also when I was in San Jose I had a visit to 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino where I picked up a blazing fast MacBook Pro. (2.16 Intel Core Duo with 2 gigs of DDR2 RAM and an ATI Radeon x1600 with 256 megs of DDR RAM to be exact) I also got a free nano (4 gig of course; black) and a free printer (wahoo, my third!) It pretty much made my return all that much better.

One thing that didn't help a bit was moving. I got to move all my shit from my apartment to the apartment 2 doors down for 5 days while I waited for my lease to start. Just today (after sleeping on a couch for the last couple nights) I moved everything into my own room in my new house which is all of 5 blocks away. The name of the place I moved into is The Nerdery, soley because most every person who resides there is ... quite simply a geek. Don't get me wrong, the house throws some awsome theme parties, but we argue over who gets which port forwarded to them from the cable modem - not your average roommate conversation.

Anyway, I took the day off work tomorrow because there is no work for me yet, and I plan on sleeping most of the day.

I need it.
