Abode settled

Finally got my housing situation sorted after 1.5 months of non-stop apartment hunting and far too many Chinatown bus trips to NYC. Going to sign my new pseudo-lease on Monday.
Will be sharing a duplex on East 88th with a 23 year old Dominican / Puerto Rican girl student, and a cat that alledgedly cries a lot at night when it gets hungry. At least I won't be living with a granny type!! *relief*

Wishful thinking

Dream job + Dream Man = too good to be true.

I was mistaken in thinking that my blank-as-a-sheet-of-paper love life, for once, would change for the better. I so should have seen this coming. *sssssiiiigh*

The side effect of romance

Am getting very accident-prone and breaking things left right and center. Should get my eyes checked out to see if I've been blinded by love, or what seems a lot like it.

Housing search update

The Williamsburg, Brooklyn dream loft (see pix below) is simply too far from work. I love living in cool architectural environments, but I unfortunately love an extra hour of sleep in the morning waaay more. Will have to settle for a sublet room from a Brazilian granny in a luxury apartment building on the Upper East. *ssssiiiiigh*

The Mythical Holy Grail of NYC Living?!

After weeks and weeks of viewing crappy overpriced hole-in-the-wall-type so-called apartments, I come across this posting on Craig's List.

Rent is for $900 - $1200 per month!!! Is this guy for real?!!!
