Ice cream for dinner, one of the many benefits of being an adult!

I love being an adult, I get to have ice cream for dinner :)

Plus I get to have my own place!  This is two weeks after moving into a place in NYC (I was living for a week in a hostel looking for jobs, exploring the city, and finding a place to live)

The place I ended up finding is a small studio in Queens and it's about a 35 minute ride to get to work, which is over on Wall St. in Manhattan.  I guess I'm starting to grow up because when I sign a lease now, I feel happy (that I snag a sweet place) instead of getting depressed (that I'm stuck somewhere).

I can't believe that just a couple weeks ago I only had two backpacks and now I'm almost settled in!  Big thanks to Josephine for helping me out with her car in a crazy Costco run! :)

There's a small kitchenette, which I've used to do some cooking already.

I put together this bed from IKEA; it looks simple, but there were so many parts and it was a little difficult building it solo.  I love the swivel LED lighting; there's something about functional and clean designs that really intrigues me.  I still need to put up some posters when I get a chance.  I'm thinking of getting another "upside down world map" poster similar to the one I had in San Diego.

I plan on programming a lot (as a side hobby) now that I'm settling in.  I can't wait for Android's Ice Cream sandwich to come out.  I've also looked at the things I own in a whole new light; how often do I use something?  Depending on the frequency, I should spend my resources accordingly.  At least that's my justification for getting an Aeron chair...
