The ladybug ended up on our picnic blanket which we’ve laid out on the lawn while waiting for a few hours for the fireworks to begin. I can’t wait for next year; it’d be amazing if they ended up having them on the Hudson again.

Peanut has been getting a bunch of follows on his Twitter account lately. It’s odd and I’m extremely jealous. I guess no one wants to follow a guy who tweets about work all the time and instead prefers to read Peanut’s day-to-day deep thoughts.

A side project that I’ve been working on during my free time is learning how to put together a Facebook application. Once I digress the structure, Peanut in one way or another will be my first my first test-dummy.

Everything is within walking distance here in Hoboken and Manhattan is a single-stop Path ride that takes no more then 10 minutes. I don’t nor have I ever owned a car (Hoboken is a parking nightmare), yet I’ve never had a need to travel much within New Jersey by car. Jersey City, the city where my fiancée lives and where I’ll be moving to in a few months is easily accessible by light rail. It’s a quick scenic (yes, scenic – who knew… I still poke fun at Jersey being the armpit of America) above ground ride.

So my soon-to-be move to Jersey City… I’m very excited. The sky-rise building which we’ll be living in sits right aside a pier and the view of lower Manhattan is awesome. Besides all of the amenities of the building, gym, doormen, out-door barbecue area, tennis courts, and rows and rows of parked boats along the pier, the restaurants, dog friendly parks, and even the people will definitely creatively inspire me. Compared to my current Hoboken brownstone apartment it’ll be a whole lot more affordable.

I would still love for a chance to live in Brooklyn at some point in my life, then there’s San Francisco. I took a trip there a couple of years ago and I’ve been eager to come back. I’ll post some images I took there soon.
