Last night, Jason and I went to a birthday (slash) housewarming party for one of his friends. It was a good first social outing, and we had loads of fun.

The earlier part of the day was spent driving around Laguna Beach, looking for apartments. I would estimate that craigslist only represents about 30% of the rental market. Most of the places we’ve found were from scoping out neighborhoods and looking for “For Rent” signs. In a lot of ways that’s better because you can rule out a place quickly and get an idea of the different areas. Research, you know.
