…also known as “The Day I Got an Apartment in the Big City”!
We went out with a no-fee/low-fee broker. Seriously people, big difference from the day before. The broker man - who had come to New York from Russia “a long time ago”
(ya know, a year)
- helped us hone in on what we were really [...]
Well… it was more like a half a day.
Three quarters of travel (last person on the flight - oops) and two apartment appointments.
I met Julia - my roommate - on the Lower East Side. We were going to an open house… which was - we’re pretty sure - right across the street from a legitimate [...]
Sometimes? We all do stupid things.
I went to Vegas over Mem Day Weekend. (Which WASN’T my stupid thing. In fact, I had a magniffffficent time. BFFs, celeb sightings, warm weather, friend-of-PCD freebies. A GOOD TIME.)
While getting ready to see Peepshow last Monday evening, my friends and I were buzzing around the house in a scrambled, [...]
(The post you’ve been waiting for.)
Years ago, I listened to the stories of a friend who picked up and moved to Manhattan for a summer during college. She wanted to prove to herself that she was independent, self-sufficient, and capable of anything. Straining our ears to soak in every word, we listened to her describe [...]
One more DC story.
A nice man asked me, “So, where do you teach now?”
“Minnesota,” I replied.
“Oh, Minnesota! That’s nice.”
“Mmhmm,” I continue.
“So, are you originally from Minnesota? Were you born in Canada?”
GOOD LORD.
Please tell me I don’t sound like a Canadian. I beg of you.
Hello.
Soooo, I was in DC over the long weekend, and I JUST HAVE to tell you about this great place we ate at in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
But, first.
Remember this guy?
If you were/are a Top Chef fan, then you are well-acquainted with Spike.
Hi, Spike.
Spike is the creator/owner of Good Stuff Eatery, a burger joint with [...]
Special shout-out to my DC iFriends ’cause I’m coming to you live from your very own town this weekend!
That sounded creepy.
Annnnyway. Thanks for the support re: the last entry. He’s out of the hospital as of yesterday and is taking it day by day. Which - honestly - is possibly the way we should all [...]
It’s been a long week.
Apparently, my body felt the same way because - and I swear to G about this - the second I walked out of school today, I was hit with a nasty migraine. So, I gave in without a fight (you win, migraine) and slept until …like… 8 pm! I’m feeling much [...]
Because we were unexpectedly de-moved a few weeks ago, we’ve had to embark on a new search: an apartment to fill the de-moving void. This, my friends, is no easy task. Instead of avoiding it like the plague, however, I’ve been doing just the opposite; Craigslist has become my addiction.
When I wake? Craigslist.
Before I sleep? [...]
