Well, I finally got Internet access (Thanks SBC!) a full five days ahead of schedule. WiFi is up, and is open. Time to catch up on The Daily Show. 
This marks the end of my two week vacation since graduation. My goal was to have the house up and running by the end of two weeks, and I’ve done it. Gas is working, electricity is working, Internet is working. I still need to figure out the exterior lights. Any electricians in the East Bay out there? Gotta dive headfirst into the freelancing world next week. But first, one last hurrah this Saturday. Par-TAY!
