Concepts in the Paradox

I went to see Breach with Jason as the major event for the day. Yes, I pried him away from work to go see a movie at the Metreon. I would say Breach is easily an 8, a good plot, some suspense, and unexpected plot twists. After the movie I suckered him into moving my heavy TV onto my fancy new Ikea TV stand.

The front room is starting to look pretty good, I still need to do something about the computer rack, and I am looking at bike racks to get my bikes up and out of the way. Either they’ll go in front of the heater or in front of the kitchen window.

I still need to do my taxes. I keep getting derailed, perhaps the weekend after next will be the magical day to do online filing.

I did little today. I slept in, did some work on getting the apartment closer to comfortable, and did a walk in this very cold and rainy city.

I put up a big book case to absorb all the books that have started to pile up on the floor. I was hoping to throw out some of the smaller book cases I have, but it looks like I’ll need them still. I have too many books! I need to let some of them go, maybe sell them or “loan” them to friends.

I rifled through the San Francisco MLS and noted some of the properties I’ve been eying slipped as much as $95k in price. The market is changing, though still not as fast as I would like. My new employer will pay for loan fees, so that helps. if I buy through Redfin, they’ll give me 3% cash back on my purchase if I get a condo or house. The Odeon is a new development that I’d consider, as well as The Mint Lofts. The time isn’t right though, so I’ll remain in the TL.

I debated going to Poproxx tonight, but I’m already going to NewWave next weekend with Jill and since I got a new job my cash flow situation is dire until my first pay check. Vodka from the corner market is much cheaper anyhow. :)

Lately I’ve been listening to “Snake River Conspiracy” and “Scissor Sisters”, both which were recommended to me by my friend Tim in Reno. Also I’ve been enjoying “Gram Rabbit” and “The Spores”, both of which I saw live for the first time at Poproxx and loved. Finally, I found “Olive” in a rental car love box, which I enjoy, and “Delirium” which I copied from my friend Kara’s CD collection and have since bought everything she sings at Amoeba.
