I'll have internet while I'm gone

Book about photobooths.
I haven't gone camping in so long that I'm certain I've forgotten to pack some obvious essential more useful even than a toothbrush but smaller than a sleeping bag. It doesn't help that between this trip and my last, I've already lost my duffel bag by "putting it in a safe place", leaving me to borrow David's much tinier one, that will not fit either my tripod or bed-roll. If I don't watch out, I'm going to get stuck with an uncomfortable, awkwardly packed backpack.

In other news, Amy's moving out, which means there's going to be a two-bedroom apartment in my building available December 1st for $950/month. Third floor near Commercial Dr, between Venables and Hastings, better views than my apartment, laundry in the basement for a dollar, bike rack in the bottom floor vestibule. Pets aren't allowed, but we all have them anyway. Landlord is pleasantly neglectful, and tends to only come by for rent.

Man splendidly decorates basement with $10 worth of Sharpie.

$950/month for a two bedroom apartment? *sigh* In SF, you can't even get a studio for that anymore.

I admit, we're not in a shiny, shiny part of town. Crackton's only a flew blocks west, the cheap hooking strip is only two blocks north, and if you're parking your car overnight across the street, you might as well smash in the window yourself.

That said, I like it here.

I live in the Civic Center/Hayes Valley area. The location is okay, and I'm not getting gouged too badly on rent (the wonders of rent control), but the building I live in is ancient. When I first moved in, a studio was $850/month or so. Now they're $1250.

Meanwhile, I keep drooling over the shiny new condos that opened up earlier this year over on Page street (a block away). I discovered today that the selling prices on those have dropped almost 15% over the past few months, but I still can't afford one. :(
