Finally moved (feel like crap today) and other stuff
It's been a few weeks and some interesting stuff has happened.

Finally finished moving out of the old apartment.  Did a walk through on Saturday morning and it was "one of the cleanest apartments" they'd ever seen.  Admittedly, they've only had the place for 3 months (with the aforementioned decline in service that they brought) and that wasn't the best (or worst) complex I've been in, it really didn't surprise me when she said that.  So glad to be out of that place!

We got a new kitty kitty!  His name is Quarter (came with the name) and he's 4 with no front claws.  One of the guys at work had to get rid of him (new baby/jealous kitty) and I snapped him right up!  Super cute, but will not sit still for a picture! (Let alone a half decent picture with my shitty camera..more below).  Been getting along better and better with Stormy, actually slept next to eachother on the futon!  Quarter really likes to sleep on pillows and last night slept above Kate's head all night (while Stormy was at our feet!).

So, I ordered a new camera last night!  Woo!  A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX07 (review) in red.  First heard about it on Boingboing a few weeks ago, and my cam has been steadily declining in quality since Christmas (no zoom-out, poor battery even though I bought a new one, slow, focus issues, I can go on!).  Did a little research, saw some pics on flickr, poof!  Hopefully it'll be here soon...because...



Kate and I are going to try to get over to SLC this weekend to see my sis' new place.  She's having a housewarming party on Saturday and it's only 10ish hours from here, plus, I really haven't seen eastern Oregon or Idaho in the daylight, so that'll be cool.  Not enough time to get a trip together for Illinois, but that'll happen sometime.  My summer is pretty packed with people coming (or thinking of coming) out here!  Jen, Nate, Maja (n8's mom), my bro and sis...plus going out to PA in late June.  Craziness!  The only thing holding us back from going is Kate getting Monday off work (I already have it off)

Oh!  We stumbled upon Fat Albert's Breakfast Cafe on Saturday.  Holy crap!  We're definitely going back!  One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had, the only one better was in L'ville coupled with a bowl of mac and cheese.  Certainly some of the better coffee I've had in Portland (something to be said for that!) and rivals Bob's Red Mill as the best breakfast within 15 minutes of us.  (also, rekindling our "new restaurant a week" thing we tried to start a few months back)

Later all!
