Especially now that Paul's hacked ours so that I can refill it with Murphy's Oil Soap instead.
Duuuude. That makes me wish I had wood floors again.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Bad, bad hospitalization talk. But I also demand that you feel better soon, vw.
So... There's an apt (in Pamela's neighborhood actually) in Portland with a two-month lease cause the person is moving. Am I crazy for considering this?
Two bedrooms, fireplace, no deposit and not crazy high rent during the two months... It's in a nice area - not one that I want to stay in being single and in a new city but certainly a nice area. Am I crazy?
Craigslist and such is helpful but I am really picky about finding places to live and not being able to see them? Well it's hard to want to commit.
These [link] (editted to link to yahoo images of the layouts and not my actual possible new address) doesn't seem so bad though. I likely wouldn't stay there longer but for two months at $800?

That's funny, Cass; my condo community has the same name as those apartments. For two months, that's a great price and in the time you're there you can find somewhere more amenable to what you like.

Right???
It's five and a half miles from Pamela. Right next to the freeway... And two months.
And it's got both a bathtub and a fireplace.

I think having a month or two to acutally choose the neighborhood you want to live in is a great opportunity.
ETA: Is it furnished? Could you leave most of your stuff in storage until you choose a more permanent place? If so, I'd say go for it.

I'm getting the pig!
Glad you're home, vw. Get well vibes being aimed your way.
Cass, if you think you'll be good about looking at other places during those two months, I say go for it.

When I was in high school, one of the drama geeks had a Siamese cat named Suzuki that went everywhere with him. The admins were able to keep Suzuki out of classtime, but whenever there was a play or something, Suzuki was perched on his human's shoulders, peering out at the world and conversing mysteriously with said human.

Not furnished but I could still leave a lot in storage.
Cass, if you think you'll be good about looking at other places during those two months, I say go for it.You are implying that I am being good at looking for places now? Hell no. But I occasionally give 'fistas the right to nag me. This would be one of those times.
And there have been a few places that sound either fabulous or iffy and since I can't go see them? I waver. If I could drive by? And then look at them?
I figure having only two months there would give me no leeway on putting off looking for a more permanent hell, so I just get there and start looking. Right?
I wish I didn't know me so well. I am hopeless.

But the cool thing is, you've got local friends to help you with the looking! That makes it something fun to do. Apartment hunting, with booze! And movies and, stuff. Good times.

I just got all flustered and stuff. I must be seriously considering this. Yipes!
It will be so soon. Which is actually fabulous but also the yipes!
I am meeting my folks for dinner. Guess I have a conversational topic.
