Holy Crap, Batman!

So, I think I’d like to live anywhere in NW Portland when I move here. I’m staying at the NW Hostel (425 NW 18th) in the Alphabet District. There’s an awesome coffee shop across the street, it’s great. Downtown is well within walking distance, and it’s maybe a five minute walk down to Powell’s. When I move, I definitely need to be close to Powell’s. You can grab one of any thousands of books and read it for free, regardless of if you buy the coffee or not!

I got a call from Jesse, who says they punk’d Jeremy when he called in for some DSL problems. Lulz! Jesse says he’s headed on vacation the day I get back.

There’s a few places around the Alphabet District that are advertising apartments, there’s one on 17th and Davis (i think) that’s only $350. That’s good - other, nicer places will likely be $400-$500. With no car payments or insurance, I think I can manage that.

I think I might go find someplace close by to read. The coffee place closes at 8p, so I left around 7:50.

Tomorrow, I’ll explore more of NW Portland, and maybe go hang out in Washington or Forest Park.
