Well let's see. I just moved back to Philadelphia yesterday after having been in California for about eight months. As much as I like the west coast I'm a northeasterner at heart so I'm happy to be back. Last night was a great example of why I'm happy to be here actually. I got home about midnight last night and when I got out of the cab I heard a band playing at my local neighborhood hole-in-the-wall bar so I dropped my bags off at my apartment and went over to the bar to have a drink. It was pretty full, but the place is tiny so it doesn't take many people to fill it up. Watching a band play there is a like watching a band play in someone's living room. Anyway, the music was great, the atmosphere was chill as always, I talked to a couple people from the neighborhood that I hadn't seen since last fall and chatted with some other people I hadn't met before. Nothing crazy, just a very Philly experience, not something that you'd find in San Jose.
Also, I started school today. I graduated from college nine years ago and this is my first foray back into the academic environment since then. I'm honestly pretty stoked about it.
