so when people say san francisco is foggy, they aren’t kidding. you can see it hovering over the city when you drive up from the south. and i also didn’t realize just how chilly it is here. it’s june but for the past week it hasn’t gotten over 70 degrees. i wonder how hot it gets here…

and don’t forget the hippies. i saw this while we were stuck in traffic caused by a peace parade. (i can’t make this stuff up).

but now for the real reason for this post. i’m glad to announce that the apartment hunt is over. and even better news, we got lucky and were able to get the cool loft with the roof deck! first, here are some pics of the places we didn’t pick:

the rejects

what the hell is up with the dollhouse one anyway? pink, yellow and green paint with “doors” smaller than people? our second pick was the split-level loft in the last 5 pics. it was in a really cool part of town where we would have literally walked everywhere. work, groceries, nightlife, everything. but we decided to go with our other, cheaper option.

my new apartment

this place has it all. new appliances, garage parking, washer/dryer, it’s close enough to my work that i could (and i plan to) ride my bike, a roof deck, and all the open space i could ever want. not much privacy though as you can see, so if you plan to visit SF, bring some pajamas to sleep in! we might hang some cloth beneath the loft to divide up the main area, but we’ll see how it goes.

for all that empty wall space, i have a neat idea. terri and i will pick out all our favorite movies and get posters for them. we’ll frame them in those plastic black frames you can get and fill up the walls. what do you think?

so overall i’m pumped about the place. we don’t move in till june 8th, so we’ll still be living out of the hotel until then. after we get everything set up, i’ll be sure to post more pics. or maybe i shouldn’t to give ya’ll a reason to buy a plane ticket and come visit!
