Hello and today was moving day. Well, it was the first part of moving day.

Cole and Josh are getting a new place and since I’m here, I can help a little bit. We (mostly they) packed up much of their stuff and loaded the boxes of it in Josh’s van.

I think much of the small stuff (clothes, kitchen stuff, etc) made it into the boxes and are at the new place. Today is the day for the larger stuff. Things like the bed and couch (my bed) will be moved today.

Tonight we’ll all be in their new place.

After a bit of moving, they took me to the Allen Ginsberg Poetry Garden. It’s pretty small and not a lot going on there, but it was nice. Ginsberg lived across the street in a cottage that is long gone, replaced by an apartment complex or something. The garden has a little pond and some rocks. Would be a fun place for a poetry reading.

From there, we went to Pegasus book store. It sounds like it would be a sci-fi store, but it’s not. It has an ok selection of graphic novels and I finally found the Jeffrey Brown book that I’ve been scouring the bay area for.

Yep, I finally found Cat Getting Out of the Bag! Really cute book.

And I also came across a nationally published local author named Ariel Schrag. She did a couple of books that chronicled her time in high school. I bought both, there is another coming out in the fall.

I will eventually stop buying comic books and finally send home the ever-growing box of stuff.

And then came the vegan pizza at Fellini. They use Follow Your Heart vegan cheese and it was indeed amazing.

The day was capped off (it’s true, my days lately have been short) by watching Josh discover what ghost riding a car is (this was pretty funny, he had no idea it existed and that white people liked it so much). We watched a bunch of them on YouTube.

I discovered the amazing blog called Stuff White People Like. It’s a hilarious and makes a mockery of over-privileged, self-righteous liberals. Brilliant. I’m surprised it’s not banned in Berkeley.

To finally drive the stake through the heart of Tuesday (sorry, reading WAY too many Buffy comics), we watched the final three episodes of Flight of the Conchords, Season One. They were sort of a let down, which is a shame. The first 10 are pretty great. But the last two are fairly disappointing. There are some great jokes, but they’re few and far between. Oh well, you can’t always be on your game.

And that is what I call my day. And this is a fun house.
Thanks!

Oh, and I won’t be leaving tomorrow, I’ll be leaving Friday, taking I-80 to US 50 in Sacramento to Carson City, Nevada where I will nest for the night.
