I swear, I will someday live here. Upper West Side, NYC.
I am recovering from the apartment let-down. I really believe that the universe has a reason for everything, even when we can’t see it. Who knows, maybe the reason behind this one is that it’s going to be really freakin’ hot during the time period I would have been moving, and by not getting the apartment I have saved one or more of my friends the heart attack they would have suffered while helping me. Or something.
But I have a plan. I have several plans, actually. My long term plan involves living in the building pictured above, after living in a spiffy building in Brooklyn that overlooks the waterfront and the Statue of Liberty. Both of those will have to wait until I am making far more money, however.
Current plan is this: I’m putting out feelers with my friends, letting them know I’m looking for a place to live in Brooklyn. I don’t think I want to move until September, thus saving everyone a heart attack, and saving me on an air-conditioned electric bill. (I don’t pay for the electricity in my current digs - that was the landlord’s concession to putting me in a hole. That, and my apartment is almost surely illegal.) Also, I won’t miss the light while I can get out and play in the park, as I can in the warm weather. It’s only when it starts getting miserable out that I will feel trapped. I hope.
During the summer, I will also be checking out Craigslist to see what the offerings are in the price range I want. I will be putting back money so that I have more of it for the move. And I will be replacing two really decrepit pieces of furniture so that when I move, I will have a nice dresser and tv stand/entertainment center. Because my dresser, while an antique, is falling apart. Nobody has really maintained it, and the back of it is falling off. Plus, it ain’t that great of an antique. I want a new dresser. And my current TV stand housed my parents’ stereo back in the day. It’s large and unsteady, and I would like something more streamlined that doesn’t carry the threat of death by television falling on me. I don’t think that’s outrageous, do you?
So you see, I am making plans from my bunker-like apartment. And soon, I will come out and take over the world. Or at least a new apartment.
