Always thinking

Oops, it's been a while

So, what's new? Let's say, it's been 10 days since last post, work hasn't been busy enough to keep me away from my labtop. Neither do friends. Portland at Thanksgiving time turns out to be a blast, especially staying with whole bunch of travellers and talking to strangers, although I only got a glimpse of how mountain hood resembles mountain Fuji, it's already breathtaking just to actually seeing that landscape from the distance. With a midsize downtown, Portland is definetely on my top list of being vibrant, culture oriented. I can even imagine to actually living there with a decent job, given I get to live in one of those Victorian style's apartment with walking distance to downtown. Well, that trip added 1500 miles to my brand new turbo Jetta, it did spin better than before, which is quite amazing. I was exhausted, tried to avoid the last run of Thanksgiving homecoming traffic, I finally managed to arrive messy home when Leland and his wife were waiting to help me move. Yes, after driving 12 hours, I nonstopply moved to a new place located Mountain view's Grant street, a street with my name...

With that all being said, I am actually happy with my new place. How so? I even plan to add several pieces of new furnitures just to make it feel more like a home, at the moment, all my books, toys are still packed in 7 moving boxes. But I am not in a hurry, surprisingly, YMCA's full loaded facility is just two blocks away, I rather spend a couple nights practicing my arm and breast muscle in the heated swimming pool, than shopping for the bookcase or shelfs.

It's been rainy the whole week since I am back in bay area, which prevented me from "investigating" our new backyard, for which I do have a nice view from my room's window, It is quite nice, with fruit trees, inviting benches, and golden leaves. There is no more traffic noise, which drove me nearly crazy.

I guess blogger is not a place to put down whole bunch of crap at once. I shall add some more in couple more minutes to next one...
