I bought new shoes today because the shoes I wore to work (1) fell apart (2) killed my feet. So I already have the fun (OH! and I returned the boucle A line dress from target... it didn't fit even 2 sizes up from normal. Hell 2 sizes up from a formal dress size I normally wear. So return it was. Perkins did you keep yours?)

Yay for new shoes. I didn't get the Boucle A line. I only got the pink one, which I kept.

Oh, and bon bon, I was going to recommend my broker, but looking at the company website, he's not there anymore. Bummer.

No prob. I have questions about using a broker. Is it ok to call brokers on the weekend? Also, there's a brokerage with a bunch of apartments in the right neighborhoods but seemingly distributed all over the agents-- can I just call them up or stop by (tomorrow, preferably) and say, just give me a broker, any broker to show me your apartments in chelsea?

Sure. They may bitch and not want to show apartments outside of business hours, but that's the stupidest shit I've ever heard of, since you need a fucking job to GET the fucking apartment.

Totally. A big brokerage? They should be able to set you up with one person who can look at all the listings, I'm pretty sure.

Gus!

This morning my friend J. who lives far away but goes to school about a half mile from my apartment came by between classes (she has a key, and full permission to come by any time), and she DID MY DIRTY DISHES.

Does she want to do mine?

Does she want to do mine?

She left me an orchid plant too.

I really want to get Leif a viking helmet for Christmas.

Gud! He MUST have one! I'll keep my eyes peeled. Actually, Halloween-ish is a good time to look for such things.

So, are you guys telling me that nutty and flea are somehow related?

Oh, -t, I'm so sorry for your loss(es). [words fail me]

Here is my understanding. New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles are places most of us do not understand.

Excuse me, if my understanding is somewhat parochial.

Jesse, thank you so much. Hate looking for apartments, hate it.

What about the cities do you not understand, Gus?

Or did I miss a crime show reference?

God, Gus, most people hate it when I bust out with the Balmerana. My mother is a very patient woman, but if I start one more sentence with "You know, in West Baltimore..." she may evict me. Even if it is my house. Well, the dealers moved out upstairs; that'll help. You think it's cute...where you been all my life? The same state as my punkassed cousin. Sigh.
