11 of 30 - IV - Powerless
Jun. 11th, 2007 03:01 pm Power has been out here at The Trees all day. Typical. At least this time the internet is still up. And I have someone scheduled to come look at the apartment at six... there better be power!!!! )=
The guy who smashed my car didn't show up at Court this morning, so the primary reason I'm here, to testify against him, is moot. Now they have to go arrest him and it might be months before he's finally brought back to trial.
Anyway, laptop battery is about to die.
***EDIT: 4:43pm***
Turns out the power is out because my roommate Jason hasn't been paying the power bills again. This is extremely unfortunate timing since I have someone coming to look at the apartment tomorrow morning as well as this afternoon, and the power won't be back by 11am tomorrow at the very earliest (and if I recall correctly they usually lag on these things). )=
Anyway, here's Northern California, to the same scale as I did the So. Cal. map.
Note that some 90% or more of the population (by my estimate, I don't know where to find the actual statistic) of Northern California resides in the Bay Area (marked with little grey squares on the map). And incidently, according to Wikipedia, the Bay Area metropolitan area has the highest median income in the country, higher than Orange County even. As such, I would like to ask TV to please leave us alone and set your rich people TV programmes where they belong in the Bay Area.
Anyway, most people usually think of Sacramento and Davis as being on the very top of Northern California and forget that it is in fact pretty close to the middle. This map reflects the fact that all I know is there are hills/mountains surrounding the top of the Central Valley, and some random mountain in the middle (and The Five valiantly continues on up to eternity). Beyond that, anything north of here is filled with unicorns as far as I know.
Lake Berryessa is only half an hour from here and is nice for a quick jaunt to more camping related settings
Lake Tahoe is a major Davis destination for snowy cabin-oriented retreats in winter and houseboating and such in summer. It used to be the site of debaucherous ASUCD retreats, before it was wisely realized that it was probably a very questionable expenditure of student funds. But man was it fun!
And yes, it is 3073 miles to Ocean City.

***EDIT: 7:04pm***
Despite the lack of power (he didn't notice), the guy who came by to see the place was ready to put down money asap. We've got a guy coming to look at it in the morning so I think we'll entertain that guy first and see which one we like best. It could be awkward telling the guy we liked the other fellow better, but tomorrow's guy has a puppy so we can blame it on that. Either we liked the puppy or didn't want to deal with such, nothing personal.
Also, I forgot to mention I went with Tarisha and two friends of hers to a free Shiny Toy Guns show in Sacramento last night. It was a fun little adventure.
Right now I'm headed over to my uncle & aunt Ben & Bev's for dinner. Steam Tunneling is still on for tonight! I'm thinking 10pm. If you're down call me!
