Have some pictures.

Home, sweet home! And it really does feel like being home. I've missed California so much.



I took this picture from my front yard. I still can't believe it. But I'm not way out in the middle of nowhere- I'm within biking distance of four towns (two of them decent-sized), a library, a lovely cafe with free wireless, a few parks, and a university.



This is Grandma's little garden. I like taking Scorpius (my new laptop) out there in the evenings. There's a ton of fresh fruit out there, too- I can pick grapes, tomatoes, apples, and two kinds of plums, and there are a bunch of herbs too. And I think a lime tree, or maybe just an unripe lemon tree.



This is Hobo. He likes running away from the house, but usually gets distracted by interesting things to sniff fairly quickly, so he's not too much trouble to retrieve.



My room, post-bunk-bed-removal. I wish I'd taken a picture right when I got there, so you could really see the difference.



Nonetheless, I think I've made a few improvements.



Note the kickass lamp.



Grandpa on his scooter. He moves at a rate of about ten feet a minute with his cane, but when he gets on that thing, I have to run to keep up. This is at an outlet mall in Petaluma, where we went this morning and I spent too much on nifty things.



The coolest shoes EVER. (Well, second-coolest. The coolest ones are undeniably these.)



The laces that came with those shoes always slip off, so I bought two pairs of new ones and played mix-and-match.



I bought this shirt not because I like the slogan (which I do) but because it is unbelievably comfortable. My Threadless "Screamo" shirt and the Domino promo shirt are the only other ones I own that come anywhere near this one in terms of comfort.



It's a flamingo wallet. I couldn't resist. And my purple duct-tape one, while it has served me well, was falling apart. I bought a belt too, a black-and-white checkered one with a pouch. And the whole haul only cost me fifty bucks. More than I should have spent, but much less than it was worth. (I could've gotten another pair of Converse for ten more bucks, but none of the others jumped out at me and I have enough shoes.)
