believe it or not

barnes and noble is actually a far worse place to access the internet. but goddamn if this place isn't bustling. it's a formidable moneymaking machine and i can't really hate on that. there is a giant starbucks logo located about one foot in front of my face. the woman on it looks like she's holding both of her hands up as if to say, 'bring it on!' my kind of woman.

we found an apartment last night. it has all hardwood floors, a balcony, a good sized kitchen, the first bathtub i've had in an apartment (as in not the clay house) and best of all, a door which seperates the bedrooms from the section of the house with the dining room, living room, kitchen etc. oh and free heat. it's 800/month which is actually the cheapest place we've looked at so far. scraping together the security deposit is something we stayed up all night drunkenly plotting, but so far all seems to be going well.

i can move in on the 1st or spend $150 in prorate fees to move in on the 23rd, but i say fuck that noise. i'll sleep in an alley if i have to. but the nine or so days of limbo ought to be interesting. also, we've already acquired a couchsurfer in the form of amanda's sister, though as of yet there is no couch to offer. or even a bed for me. genius that i am, i brought my sleeping bag. could come in handy.

sooner or later i'll steal amanda's digital camera and post some jpegs which will make you cry with jealousy. mountains!

it occurs to me that i don't have that much to say, but i spend $4 to get onto the fucking internet so you'd better believe i'm going to use the two hours allotted me. maybe i'll just spend an hour huddling over my laptop so the passing customers can watch as my soul is sucked away in realtime by orisinal dot com. this is what days off are made for.
