First night in new place

I finally got to sleep in my new place for the first time last night, after having hauled another truckload of stuff up from MV (Mostly books, which I moved alone, my friends will be glad to hear... But there are more, hint hint).

Here's a photo from last Saturday, before I had moved much in.

I slept like a log because I was exhausted from moving boxes. But I gotta wonder if the 3am trash pickup outside my windows is going to wake me each Tuesday morning.

One thing I'll miss about taking the train for the past 6 workdays is that it's a great way to catch up on the newspapers (yeah, everyone knows that), but it was an excellent opportunity to go through and sort some ancient email boxes on my laptop. I was able to ping a few people I hadn't really talked to in a while.

But I must admit, a 15-minute bike ride to work is a lot cooler than an hour-and-fifteen-minute train ride and walk.
