I've got a city love

Just got back from San Francisco this morning at about 4:30am. Rough 6 hour drive but it was a nice little getaway to kick off the last month of summer. Although 90% of the trip was dedicated to moving boxes full of stuff into my sister's new apartment. It felt accomplishing to see an empty room turn into an actual living space if you know what I mean. The first 2 of the 3 days spent in San Fran followed the same routine. Woke up, drove into the city to move stuff into Krystle's new apartment. Got something to eat. Unpacked stuff out of boxes. Built IKEA furniture. Got something to eat. Slept. The third day was a little different though. We were all done moving Krystle's stuff so my dad and I had a free (half) day to do whatever. We got something to eat at this cheap but mediocre dim sum place. Then we satisfied our hunger at a pizza place called Pizza Orgasmica. Good shiz. Then we walked into this little music store called Exploring Music across the street from the pizza place. It was owned by some asian guy who didn't seem to know much about anything he was selling. They were having a sale on guitars for the summer. An acoustic was sitting outside with a 79$ price tag on it. It looked nice, and played decently when I picked it up. Sure it's made by a brand that someone probably made up on the spot, but I'll take it for 80 bucks. So I did and it's my new little toy. Then my dad and I walked around Golden gate Park followed by a short walk through China Town. It was a fun trip. It feels weird to be back home though. I still find myself feeling a little too comfortable in the city atmosphere. Living in a place surrounded by tall buildings with taxi cabs passing through every intersection sounds great to me. Hopefully I can live in a big city a la Frisco or NYC. That would probably make me happy.
