so.. I think I've found a new place to live.. in a real apartment building.. I avoided looking at house-apartments as I seem to have really bad luck picking them from paper listings and they're all slums.. When i was looking for my first place when I was moving to windsor, my roommate and I ended up finding 1 place to look at we couldn't even get into.. Neither of us weighed more than 125lbs and we were scared to go up the staircase.. I got to the fifth step and it started to creak and sway out away from the building..

Apparently the apartment building I'm moving to has a season pool.. which is very kick ass.. sadly.. I don't think there will be room for my weight bench and stuff.. unless the "storage closets" you can rent are big enough... something to look into..

The other people in the building, i have mixed feelings on.. Its beside a nursing home. (the view from my balcony (balcony again!!) will be said nursing home.. so at least the neighbours will be quiet..

It's farther from downtown than I was hoping.. so it'll be abut a 45 min walk downtown now.. but it was cheaper and bigger than the other place I was really considering...

Still upset about being kicked out of my home... but.. such is life..

still no job.. dropped off a couple resumes today.. going to call the temp agency i signed up with on tuesday to see if they're hiring for light industrial yet.. i really don't want to go back to a call center but if i don't have any leads by friday i think i'll have to die a little inside and drop off a resume there again.. if nothing else, i'll go through the training hoping for a real job to come along...

still looking for podcast suggestions... anyone? started exploring the online radio stations in iTunes.. so far Fresh Air from the university of edinborough has been full of win... like right now.. its Nico of the velvet underground.. earlier today it was a punk/ska show.. they seem to have as varied programming as my tastes..

still looking for a plus one for the Gala.. looks like i'll be dropping that.. and depending on money.. starting to look like no Gala.. can't afford a hotel room now and it seems the group ones are all spoken for.. i really want to make it this year.. missed it last year.. (besides, it was the excuse i needed to buy a new pair of nice shoes ive wanted for awhile)

anyway.. i'm (and i'm sure you) are rambled out
