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.
