I woke up with this little guy less than 2 feet from my head this morning. We moved him into the sink so that I could get a good photo. There is a pretty big version available if you want to zoom in and see the fiddle on his back, which is indicative of his being a Brown Recluse. They are really common here, a "normal" house spider. There are more mis-diagnosed recluse bites in California than real bites in all area where recluse spiders actually live combined.
I have a big version on flickr if you want to see more detail, including it's "fiddle" on it's back.
