5:30 p.m.

so today was a nice day. outside, the weather much like springtime. a little breezy and a little muggy. and only recently turning a little overcast.

i no longer live where i used to, just so you know. i moved out of elly's old studio in the haight and into my new one bedroom in the castro/upper-market cusp a couple of months ago. it's a very nice neighborhood to be had, save the hobo encampments that crop up from time to time under the freeway.

on the block there's a used record store and a sushi bar. a tappas restaurant too. there's also a dinner that claims to have the best pancakes in all of san francisco. i have yet to visit any of them, but they all look fairly exciting.

there's another record store, a block and a half away from my block, that sells an awful lot of french house. the people there actually know a thing or two, too. it's nice.

plus there's a pizza place that makes the best pizza i have tasted since the big move to san francisco. they're a little ways away, but it's ok. they deliver.

but what's most important is that malinda has moved in. she moved in, last week, turning my apartment into our apartment and honestly, i couldn't be happier. it is a very nice thing to come home to, that malinda. very nice. also, a very nice thing to wake up to.

there have been other things that have happened since i talked to you last, as well. for example, i've been doing something a little different at work now. i would explain, but i don't think any of you really know what i did at work in the first place. so it really doesn't matter.

and for the most part, all of these new things are good things. just take my word for it. all around, i'm a very happy camper. i am pleased as punch.

so, this is why i haven't been writing. because i'm happy. and no longer in love with my suffering. because all i want is a little time to relax and enjoy and not have to worry so much about remembering things so i can later write them down.

but i want to write again, i think. i miss it. also, you really need to know how happy i am. really. i need to show y'all just how good i got it.

i am going to make you jealous, you just watch.
