Sorry, I just could not resist… It was just too obvious. You see, I just met my new neighbor Han, and Han just met Orion.

Han and his charming girlfriend came over after work tonight. They seem like a teriffic addition to our building. He keeps the streets of Santa Clara safe at night and paints during the day. (He promises to show me some of his work soon.) She’s a professor of Asian-American relations.

They both claimed that they have never heard a peep from Kelly’s birds – a claim that I find very hard to believe. (I think they were just being nice.) Of course, Orion showed his appreciation by biting Han on the neck. Blasted animals.

Anyway, I got a very positive feeling from both of our neighbors. I can’t wait to see them again!

I absolutely love living here – most of the time. But hey, don’t even get me started on that subject.
