Has It Really Been That Long?
Wow. It’s been a while hasn’t it? My apologies. We’ve been rather busy. And when I say busy I mean we finally burrowed ourselves out from under the 60 moving boxes that nearly swallowed our apartment whole.
That’s right, moving boxes. Finally, after one month of living with an air mattress, a single folding chair and a slightly schizophrenic Boston Terrier, the moving company arrived with...

Have You Seen Our Stuff?
I apologize in advance if this post seems incoherent or more poorly-written than usual. I’ve been working on about five hours of sleep. Which probably sounds like a semi-decent amount, except for the fact they’ve been spent on a sagging air mattress (or, as Lisa likes to call it, the inflatable equivalent of a bed of nails).

Apartment Hunting in San Francisco Should Involve...

Moving On...
I’m not a big fan of blogs. Lets be honest, they’re self-indulgent. But here we are at my very own blog, Durrty Thoughts. I’ve convinced myself the reason for creating this was to keep family and friends updated with our new life in San Francisco. All the adventures, mishaps, or awkward moments where I’m mistaken as a homosexual will be posted here for you to read. Or skim. Or ignore. I...
