semisweet: ([dc] gonna kick a little ass.)

a kick in the teeth is good for some; a kiss with a fist is better than none.

i want to update and i find myself aimlessly clicking around the internet, looking for something interesting to post. i've come up with exactly nothing, tho, so i suppose you'll have to settle for just me.

bullet points, maybe?

  • the most important thing i have to say is that it looks like i'll be moving to new york fucking city in july! \o/ scott got an offer from a firm in the city and he's probably going to take it. he has another interview on monday with a different firm in long island, but unless they offer him way more money, he's planning on taking the job he's been offered. i am all sorts of stoked about this, both because i get to get out of albany and because new york cityyyyy! we're planning on going down and doing some apartment-hunting the weekend after next, which i'm sure will be horrible. maybe not, tho - we did a bit of looking around online and found a few places that looked promising, and while they were obviously more expensive than our place here, they weren't, like, life-ruiningly pricey. recession ftw, i suppose.

  • next weekend i get a faceful of dfc and the boyz as well as an opportunity to hold [livejournal.com profile] ninasfeet and [livejournal.com profile] brookie0cookie! and...who the hell else is coming? idk. but yes. northampton on saturday, new haven on sunday and then down to the city on monday for the taping of jimmy fallon. i'm gonna get NO fucking sleep; i can't wait.

  • very restless lately. real life is just so bland between random incidents of tour and other shenanigans.

  • for no real reason, i have set up two dreamwidth accounts. idk. i am souvenir and also semisweet over there, in case i add you and you're like wtf. i'm not sure what, if anything, i'm going to use them for, but there you go.

  • my icon makes me giggle.

  • relatedly: david cook, as per usual, is my favorite person ever.


  • lastly, still fangirling the hell out of miss florence here.

    Now is a good time to rent an apartment in NYC, rents are down. Considering looking for a new place when my lease is up, though moving is a pain. The thing about NYC apartment hunting is that there's like code you have to know how to interpret. Like "Upper West Side" is often actually Harlem. Etc.

    It was a nightmare when I was looking, but that was before the whole economy went south.

    and like "gorgeous cheap apartment in chelsea" actually means "dead body in the kitchen and a poltergeist in the second bedroom"? yeah. heh.

    beyond whatever the hell that was, though, we definitely saw a lot of promising places, so i'm hoping the hunt won't be TOO heinous.

    Mmm, NYC will be happy to have you, should you and Scott indeed end up here.

    I've had You've Got the Love in my head all day. I feel like it was used in a Sex and the City episode or something but I know that's impossible. It feels like it should be used in some very feminine movie/tv show.

    i could TOTALLY see "you've got the love" being used on ugly betty. it does sound like something that would've been used on SATC.

    aw, your icon is so cute.

    NYC?! Oh my goodness, yay!!! You must let me know if you need any help with anything, or want some company once you move here or ANYTHING (as I am clearly just outside of the city and am there every day. YAY).

    :-D

    New York City?!? OMG I hate you and am SO jealous. lol I randomly look at apartments in NYC on craigslist just to see what the prices are like and I was surprised at how not insane some of them were.

    heee! sorry bb. XD

    and yeah, i've been pleasantly surprised at the rents we've been seeing online. i mean, ok, some places are hideously expensive, but we've seen a fair amount of places that i think would be great that are within our price range. \o/

    of course, once we actually go look at them they may end up being horrible closet-sized holes in the wall, but so far i'm cautiously optimistic. :D
