Jaeggli’s settling

Boxes unpacked, the party’s over and the only thing left is homework. Grrr…. it’s hard to settle down to that one. But officially we have broken the place in today. We’ve covered our kitchen table with books, papers, laptops and bills. Also the mandatory dirty dishes from snacking. We’re going to have to try harder because this place is too big to mess up. Maybe when Nat and Sally come over with the plywood and construction tools, we might be halfway to messy success then.

See my new UFO?

It is sweeping our galaxy floor, whirring and beeping as it goes. I am amazed at how well this little robot does in its mission to cleanse the floor of debris. Kitty hair be gone! and it is. Plus this floor is supersize, but it seems to get from one end to the other. We left it running today and when we came back it was charging quietly at it’s dock. Good roomba.

Our other humdrum Saturday task, now that the excitement is over, was to take my scooter in for its 600 mile maintenance check. It actually had 761 mi this morning. On the UC Berkeley Campus there are bunches of Zippy siblings, many also in silver. Move over Vespa!

On our way back home along Frontage Rd. the fog was rolling swiftly in over the bay. (Which made for a freezing ride as we did 45 mph! and a misty face shield.) The atmosphere was dreamy and gorgeous with the sun a round disk through the fog over the grey water. The top of the SF skyline disappeared.

In homework-land, I am marinating in Web 2.0 sauce, till it is seeping from me. Secret: I am really tired of this subject. But don’t tell because I’m trying to maintain some semblance of excitement while I get my final web-page underway for class. Web 2.0 applications under my belt: Facebook, wikis, (of course blogging), RSS, tagging, Flickr, del.icio.us. Maybe there is more, but I can’t remember. I’m thinking that this weekend I need to post a video on YouTube and link to it from here. THEN I will have conquered web 2.0.

So we are still moving in. The fridge was delivered this afternoon, but doesn’t appear in the photo. Kitty is already having fun. I’m thinking he is going to shed a few pounds as he jumps around and climbs everywhere.

Our neighbors are awesome. We’ve met a few of them now and the owner of the cafe downstairs, Ruby’s cafe. It’s a little community all in one building. Plus we found a Taiko drumming studio a block away and they are always practicing. They are good!

And I asked the Eight Ball this morning if we were going to have a lot of fun in our new place and it said, “as I see it, yes.”  HA!

No internet connection yet so I write this from work and I have to hurry because my scooter is in a 2 hr parking zone. Campus is insane. Stay away on game days!!!

Time to get going and finish cleaning and painting at the old place.
