I've got an hour or so before my last final, The Evita Final, the final where I'll break open the champagne and cry for Argentina if I damn well please, dirty war be damned. I'm packing up my room, dividing books and folders ans glasswares into boxes and bags because I don't have enough boxes, all headed for an as of yet unknown destination. I

Advance congratulations!

No wonder you've not been around - musta been busy... good luck with what happens next...change is inevitable (ar ar ar) at this stage of your life - graduation and moving on etc, etc, etc.

You're going to be BREEDING in San Jose?! {faints}

Thanks! OH god, the real world is coming...whatever will I do with myself now.

Oh wait, that's right, celebrate reading again :-)

And there've been other things keeping me from writing. I'll jet you an e-mail with the deets.

And only in the most, well, non-technical metaphorical sense of the word, really. I mean, me? Fucking women? Trechary that is.

Speaking of which...

We are totally hanging out and grubbing out together once you get here (I am in San Jose-ish too)

Mosdef. I'll either be living Downtown, in Campbell, or in Milpitas.

oh my gosh, what are you doing? san jose? how long are you going to be around?

[hapan605]

I'm roasting coffee for a year, really. And working wholesale. It's a pretty awesome gig for the 10% tax bracket. I'll be around here a year at least, and I've got weekends off. Where are you?

[hapan605]

Hehe, I shall be down in about 2-3 weeks time! I'll shoot you a call later.

Mm, the South Bay sucks alllmost as hard as the peninsula. Please tell me you'll come spice up my dreary Palo Alto life every once in a while.

[hapan605]

I shall - what are you up to these days?

And so I keep getting told; although I'm also told San Jose is up and coming. I envision many trips to Santa Cruz and the City in the coming year.

I feel like I've been hearing San Jose is "up and coming" for a few years now and yet...nobody seems to believe it. Even the newspaper articles you read are like "Really, San Jose doesn't suck! Please come here and go clubbing with a bunch of random assholes that work for chip manufacturers!" However, I know mostly software engineers and we all have the non-work lives of sad, skinny tortoises. Several of them literally live with their parents. I know.

In other words, if you find an awesome, thriving San Jose scene, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

What brings you to the South Bay?

I'm working for Barefoot Coffee Roasters as a wholesale accountant, hopefully working onto apprentice roasting or something of the sort. It's a pretty sweet deal as far as post-college jobs go, but the location does leave something to be desired.
