Shitty Ketchup

Hello dears. Let me tell you something about sinking feelings. Today my coworker Fiona came up to the office and said "Hey, that deli across the street is closed. I don't know, some yellow sign on the door said they were closed." I thought, 'That's weird, it must be some kind of Jewish holiday or something.' So afterwork I go across the street to the deli, as I am sometimes wont to do, to buy cigarettes. And then I remember the sign, and then I see the sign and it says "Closed by the New York Department of Health and Mental Welfare." And then I remember the sandwiches I ate. And then I think about how many fucking filthy places there are in New York, and how those are still open. So for a place to actually get shut down, there must have been shit in the ketchup or something. For the rest of the day all I've been doing is trying not to think about that deli.

I'm trying to blog more, call it an October resolution. We'll see how it goes.

Grinding.

Back from a day of hunting for apartments. I'm subleasing in Greenpoint right now, and my lease ends next week so the last few weeks have been spent grinding away on Craigslist, trying to find a living situation that could be bearable for a whole year. My mom likes to (try to) help. She browses Craigslist with nearly as much fervor as I do, and usually sends me four or five postings a day. After seeing a place today, I called her and she said "$710 for a place in Williamsburg!? That's unheard of!" My mom knows enough about New York real estate at this point I think she'd have no problem moving here and navigating between neighborhoods. She even knows about the sketchy ends of Brooklyn, and that Park Slope is full of lesbians. We'll see how this apartment thing turns out, that last one was really awesome. Brick house, with wrought iron gates and those torch holding things (what are those called?). If it works out, you can come visit me and see it.

Yo! Fuckin Snorlax OWNS in This Movie!

Every once in a while you half to stop and say "New Jersey, you put a lot of shit into the world, but this makes up for it. Thank you, New Jersey."
