New den finally coming together

Generally, foxes like to find a den, make it comfortable, and then never leave. I lived in a two bedroom house for 3 years. It was spacious, but the landlords were slightly shady and there was the nuisance of the neighbor living in the illegal unit in the backyard. It was a house with a yard and storage in a decent neighborhood for under $2000 a month. For LA, this is practically a miracle. Problem is that the local authorities found out about the illegal unit. Long story short, we didn't bother to stick around for the fireworks. The upside is that I'm now in a swanky new den on the peninsula. The new den is actually a large 1br/1.5b so until a 2 bedroom opens up, I'm sharing a bedroom with my housemate. Oh, but did I mention the view. The balcony provides a great view of the bay, and the best part is that the rent is actually less than the previous den.

Moving is always such a hassle, but things are starting to come together. The cable is on, the DSL is finally set up, and Figaro's "Fortress of Box-itude" is getting smaller (much to his dismay).
Another weekend or so and things should be more or less in order. I think I'm going to pop a bottle of champagne when it's done to reward myself.
