welcome to new york city.

i must start by apologizing, to anyone, if there is anyone, who reads this thing... i have had nothing to say lately if it wasn't about being poor, or impending homelessness. and that doesn't make for interesting blog posts. for interesting blog posts, i would direct you to my younger sister alison. boomer refers to her as the chosen one, and you can decide for yourself over at www.istheendofthatsentence.blogspot.com, but don't take too long, 'cause when she takes over the world, you're gonna want to be on her good side.

anyhow, WE LANDED A FUCKING APARTMENT!!!!!!! so now i can cease the freak out that has defined my life since i got here in may. before i move on, let me just say for the record that new york city is not a good place for the financially unsound to try and compete for housing. never again.

so, we are now the proud renters of a rather lovely apartment, which sits above a rather impressive bakery(we tested it out this morning) on first avenue. first avenue, which is noticeably quieter than third avenue(case in point, i am currently being blasted out of my chair by someone's car stereo right now. thank you for coming, release the hounds.)

the entire relocation is a step up, if you ask me; two grocery/bodegas, one on either corner, and said bakery...still two blocks from the subway, good to go. more importantly, however...IT'S OURS. charles sums it up: "it's a beautiful day, virginia tech football is on, we have an apartment." relieved doesn't even begin to describe it.

within a week, we will take up residence on the 1; before that, we shall make our triumphant return to VA, to pick up the stuff and check in with our beloved peoples, who we miss the shit out of.

but new york city, and apartment...that's pretty much it right there. we live here now, it's official. whew.
