iBlog!
So, because I am a consumer whore I bought an iPhone. Sure, my laptop is 2 feet away and it's definitely way easier to type on, but how awesome is it that I'm blogging from my phone?!?!?!
We'll see if I can figure out how to upload and post pictures! Then I will really be rocking out!
I must admit, though, I miss T9. Way easier to type that way. There must be a way to do it on iPhone, I mean, it's a software issue.
Anyway. 4:15 AM, I probably should try to sleep.
Night!

J'en ai besoin deux fois par jour.
I don't really need "it" twice a day. Unless by "it" you mean "to go to the bathroom," I probably need to go to the bathroom twice a day. Maybe more. And I'm comfortable saying that.

That's a line from a Bertrand Burgulat song called "Gris Metal" which is a great song. But you don't have to take my word for it...
Anyway, it's Tuesday.
And it's the Bride of the Summer of Bad Luck. Oh joy.

So, as you may or may not recall, my roommate surprised me on July 15th saying she wasn't going to re-sign the lease and, effectively, I would have to be out by August 15th. So I made all my plans to move out August 15th.
However, Sunday, August 3rd, I find out that SURPRISE! She told me wrong. I actually have to be out by the 9th! Which means I have to pay an extra week of rent at the new place, and since none of the roomies will be in yet it's going to cost me an extra $600.

And no, current roommate, "sorry" doesn't cut it. I could go with "I'm really sorry Amanda, I thought it was the 15th, my mom never told me that we were going to be leaving the 9th. If I had the money I would help pay you back for some of your expenses, but I really don't right now, I'm sorry that my ignorance is going to cost you more than a week's pay." After taxes, of course. But yeah. That kind of apology I could accept. I really want to call her mom and bitch that her daughter's ignorance is costing me so much and if she wants me out by Saturday she can pay me the $600 and then let roommate pay her back.

Honestly, I find it really hard to respect someone who is perfectly healthy, has a degree, and is somehow "unable" to find a job. I mean, I found a job in NYC without even living here. Work is work and some people just don't realize that.

Anyway, we made a post on Craigslist about the apartment last night around 10:30. This morning we've gotten around 25 emails.

A room in Park Slope for $675 a month is a steal.
The more that I think about it, the more I'm glad I'm not moving to Williamsburg. I really wanted to move there before, because whenever I mentioned I was moving to Brooklyn, all the cool people told me I should go to Williamsburg. Originally I gave up looking for a place there because everything was too expensive. And honestly, anyone who can afford it probably isn't paying for it themselves. Or, if they are, they are too cool for me. And for some reason, I find it hard to respect people who aren't working for what they're getting.

Anyway, the place is full of hipsters and all the hipsters think that's awesome but pretty much everyone else in Brooklyn thinks of it as a disease. And to think about it, it's pretty much the new popular style. Even though it's supposed to be "alternative," it's just become so popular that it's just a new type of mainstream.

The other great thing is that the place in Park Slope is literally less than a 10 minute train ride to work. True, the walk to the subway is a bit longer than the walk I have now, but it's a great neighborhood so I really don't mind. Here I feel like I'm going to get mugged for chicken if I ever go to KFC.

Also, there isn't (to my knowledge) a White Castle in Park Slope, which is great, because that is an unhealthy addiction that I have. True, crack is illegal and stuff but White Castle is available 24 hours a day and makes me sick. So I think crack is a much healthier addiction than White Castle.

Ahh, it's almost 8 and I have an 8:15 appointment in Bay Ridge! My check engine light has been on for... about 4 months. Don't hate me, I'm bad, I know.
I will leave you with a stupid picture of me, because I haven't posted a stupid picture of myself in a long time.

I must admit, I will miss Bed=Stuy. But not that much.
Seeyaz!
