i've been fooling around with the new templates and i think i like this one, though the font colors are a bit drab dontcha think? anyhoo.. i've decided i don't like the new blogger comments. i want my old comment box back. but i don't have time right now to figure out how to do it, so bear with me..

the weekend is finally here and c and i will be spending the entire weekend packing. did i ever tell you how much i hate packing? i mean, the "spring cleaning" aspect of it is cool and all because i love getting rid of useless shit, but i absolutely hate packing.

so, i finally found a place with a short term 3 month lease and it's a one bedroom apartment not too far from where i live right now. in fact i'm a block away from the lake, which is fabulous, but the place is like a little box.. no back porch, balcony, nothing. in fact if i remember correctly, the view out of my window is that of a parking lot. i'm feeling claustrophobic just thinking about it. but for a decent and rather spacious one bedroom, it's damn cheap.. only $600 a month, which is peanuts when you're talking about the north east side of chicago. you're lucky if you find a decent studio for that price. i guess the landlord was despertate, what with it being a renter's market and all these days, so he agreed to a short term lease at a low price. i guess i should count my blessings instead of whine about how i'm feeling so unsettled about being unsettled for the duration of the next 3 or so months...
