Helter Shelter

I did get to see my new apartment today. Here we are about nine days from zero hour or as I should say roughly some two hundred hours from zero hour since I'm using the "hour" as a method of time measurement. I suppose it's better than saying a "tenth of a month" or "I'll be moving in some 12,000 minutes." The bigger the number the harder the fact is to swallow so maybe I'll just stick with nine days.

Although "zero hour" is a neat thing to say.

Anyway, I wasn't exactly in love with the place. Although a lot of that could have had something to do with the fact that they weren't done fixing it up yet and the power was off. However they seem to have me convinced that power will in fact be on when I move there. So right off the bat, that's a plus.

Saying I don't love this place might be a bit harsh, I do like it a lot. Maybe even as more than a friend. Okay, I kid. You can't like something that's four walls and a ceiling. That's crazy talk.

The place is nice, very spacious. More closets than the space shuttle. A living room you could hold the super bowl in (However parking would be a nightmare for such an event). The stove is big and it might even get used at some point. I'm also pleased that the refrigerator is also a two second walk from my room.

We did experience some roommate drama already. This move has definitely had it's moments of peril. One of the people I was going to live with decided that he wasn't going to be able to afford our cheaply fun lifestyle. However When there's a problem the solution is sometimes so close at hand that it can be a miracle. We found another roommate who is a good friend and needed a place to live. So apparently a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Okay that pun was so bad you could hear a pin drop, but God help me I just love to speak in cliches.

You can stop with the silence now I promise I'm done.
