The Blog that Noone Reads

“At the pre-emptory request of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, and now for the last nine years and ten months past of San Francisco, California, declare and proclaim myself the Emperor of These United States.”

My brother was telling me about this guy yesterday. San Francisco appears to have a fantastic history of outragously comical eccentrics.

So, I finally got me an apartment in San Francisco. It’s all very exciting. My commute has gone from 2 hours to 15 minutes. Also, my place has a fairly nice view (not that I ever look outside).

I’m right across the street from the Caltrain station, which gives me quick access to most places worth going to along the peninsula. Also, there is a Muni station right outside my building, which gives me quick access to anywhere I need to go in the city, including my work.

I haven’t explored that much of my neighborhood yet. I walked around a little earlier, but only went a few blocks. I have a Safeway across the street, a borders a block away, and a couple pizza places nearby. I haven’t seen much in the way of bars, but I know there are some a couple stops down the Muni.
