Housing Decisions

So I just put in and watched Little Miss Sunshine over at Kim's place. Cute movie. I was definitely like oh my goodness at more than a few points, but that's pretty expected lol.

At this point, I've been all over the bay area. I've almost got most of down in my head...from going places multiple times to getting lost to looking at my makeshift drawing of a map...I pick up a sense of direction pretty quickly.

I made six stops today. I think. We'll map them out and see.

[an hour later]

Seven stops today. Yesterday, I did three and didn't like any of them. Today I found one that I liked and two other potential backups. There was also a cool one on Alameda island, but that's just kinda ridiculous because if I missed the ferry (that's right, I'd take a ferry to work every day), then I'd be kinda screwed. But I sure do love that island. It's pretty much a deserted navy base. You can tell it was a happening place once upon a time...wish I could have seen that!

One more tomorrow in San Francisco. The ad makes is seem like a sweet place. But we'll see because it doesn't look to be near other public transportation in SF. My most prime option at the moment is in Berkeley. And it's pretty near BART. So if the SF place doesn't work out, I'm gonna try to nab it really fast.

Which brings me into thoughts of maybe being able to stay at a place for free down in southern east bay or peninsula. Should I even consider it? I'd have to ask too which doesn't mean it'd even be and option. But is it worth asking if I live that far from work? The thing though is that all of my Cal Poly friends are down there...which is really really nice. I'd love to see them more. Sigh...just can't have your cake and eat it too.
